  • All ANIs are not created equal : implications for prokaryotic species boundaries and integration of ANIs into polyphasic taxonomy 
    Palmer, Marike; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora; Blom, Jochen; Hedlund, Brian P.; Venter, S.N. (Stephanus Nicolaas) (Microbiology Society, 2020-04)
    In prokaryotic taxonomy, a set of criteria is commonly used to delineate species. These criteria are generally based on cohesion at the phylogenetic, phenotypic and genomic levels. One such criterion shown to have promise ...

(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017-02-20)
    The genome of Caldithrix abyssi, the first cultivated representative of a phylum-level bacterial lineage, was sequenced within the framework of Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea (GEBA) project. The genomic ...
  • High diversity of Diaporthe species associated with pear shoot canker in China 
    Guo, Y.S.; Crous, Pedro W.; Bai, Q.; Fu, M.; Yang, M.M.; Wang, X.H.; Du, Y.M.; Hong, N.; Xu, W.X.; Wang, G.P. (Naturalis Biodiversity Center and Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, 2020-02-06)
    Species of Diaporthe (syn. Phomopsis) are important endophytes, saprobes and pathogens, infecting a wide range of plants and resulting in important crop diseases. However, the species occurring on pear remain largely unresolved. ...
  • New Botryosphaeriales on native red milkwood (Mimusops caffra) 
    Jami, Fahimeh; Marincowitz, Seonju; Slippers, Bernard; Wingfield, Michael J. (Springer, 2018-09)
    Fungi in the Botryosphaeriales (Ascomycetes) are common endophytes in woody plants with a wide global distribution and in some cases they are important tree pathogens. The aim of this study was to consider the possible ...
  • A new species of Raffaelea from beetle-infested Leucaena leucocephala 
    Procter, M.; Nel, Wilma Janine; Marincowitz, Seonju; Crous, Pedro W.; Wingfield, Michael J. (Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, 2020)
    Species of Raffaelea (Ophiostomatales: Ascomycota) are obligate symbionts of ambrosia beetles, some of which pose a substantial threat to forest trees. Leucaena leucocephala is a small mimosoid tree species that is ...
  • No to neocosmospora : phylogenomic and practical reasons for continued inclusion of the fusarium solani species complex in the genus fusarium
