Solivoracaceae Tedersoo fam. nov.

Type genus.

Solivorax Tedersoo .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on diagnostic nucleotide signatures in ITS 2 (positions in type species gctaagttta; two mismatches allowed) and LSU D 2 (positions 694–703 in type species and 596–605 in S. cerevisiae ctaacgtgct; one mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Solivoracales, covering sequences OQ 687305, OQ 687310, OQ 687311, EUK 1216850 , DQ 244008, UDB 014650 , EUK 1124454 , EUK 1216854 , EUK 1216849 , and OQ 687309 (Fig. 1 ).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA sequences only. Includes Solivorax (gen. nov.) and other potentially genus-level groups represented by sequences OQ 687305 (lake water in MI, USA), OQ 687310 (lake water in MI, USA), OQ 687311 (lake water in MI, USA), EUK 1216850 (lake sediment in Benin), and DQ 244008 (lake water in France).

Figures

Figure 1. Maximum Likelihood SSU- 5.8 S-LSU phylogram indicating placement of novel lineages in the fungal kingdom as highlighted in a coloured shade and red font. Previously described taxonomic clades are collapsed. All branches of Sumavosporidiomycetes and Gelotisporidiomycetes are shortened two-fold. Poorly supported branches with bootstrap values below 95 % / 99 % are indicated in blue. The original tree with bootstrap values and uncollapsed branches is indicated in Suppl. material 1.
