Nikkaluoktaceae Tedersoo fam. nov.

Type genus.

Nikkaluokta Tedersoo.

Description.

Covers the monophyletic group in Nikkaluoktales (Fig. 2 ). Phylogenetically delimited as the least inclusive clade covering sequence accessions EUK 1203196, EUK 1600291 and EUK 1600248 (Suppl. material 3).

Notes.

Recognised based on eDNA sequences only. Currently includes Nikkaluokta and another potentially genus-level group that is represented by sequences EUK 1602730 (GSMc plot S 554, Betula - Quercus woodland soil in Mädapea, Estonia, 59.32169 ° N, 26.2621 ° E); EUK 1602729 (GSMc plot FF 14, Picea abies forest soil in Kõdesi, Estonia, 58.61484 ° N, 27.12781 ° E); and EUK 1600257 (GSMc plot G 4464, Quercus robur forest soil in Ruu, Estonia, 59.45059 ° N, 25.22166 ° E).

Figures

Figure 2. Phylogenetic position of genera and genus-level groups of Endogonomycetes based on Maximum Likelihood analysis of SSU- 5.8 S-LSU sequences. The clades are collapsed, with the number of sequences included in parentheses. Question marks above branches indicate low ultra-rapid bootstrap support (< 95). Orders are highlighted in different colours. The uncollapsed phylogram is given in Suppl. material 3.
