Treatment

Cantoromastigomycetes Tedersoo class. nov.

Type order.

Cantoromastigales Tedersoo .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on a diagnostic nucleotide signature in LSU D 6 (positions 1759–1778 in type species and 1662–1681 in S. cerevisiae ggagacgtcgggdggagccc; no mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Neocallimastigomycota, covering sequences EUK 1107297 , EUK 1201627 , OQ 687232, OQ 687239, EUK 1103194 , EUK 1188586 , EUK 1152054 , EUK 1103194 , EUK 1216883 , EUK 1124338 , EUK 1103697 , EUK 1216882 , EUK 1124339 , EUK 1124340 , KU 359437, EUK 1216885 , EUK 1137900 , and EUK 1216886 (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA sequences only. Encoded as clade GS 39 in EUKARYOME v 1.9. Currently harbors Cantoromastigales (ord. nov.) and potential order-level groups represented by sequences EUK 1107297 (peatland soil in Sweden), EUK 1201627 (forest soil in Italy), OQ 687232 (lake water in MI, USA), and OQ 687239 (unspecified water). Comprises around 130–140 species. Detected in soil (99.0 % out of 220 records), water (0.5 %), and sediment (0.5 %) in tundra to hot tropical biomes across all continents except Antarctica.
