A new meristematic fungus, Pseudotaeniolina globosa

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2003;83(4):351-60. doi: 10.1023/a:1023331502345.

Abstract

A new species of Pseudotaeniolina, a genus of anamorphic, melanized fungi with meristematic development, is described. The species is compared to morphologically similar taxa among which are Trimmatostroma and Coniosporium. Its novelty is supported by SSU (small subunit) and ITS (internal transcribed spacer) rDNA sequence data.
