Three New Recorded Species of the Physalacriaceae on Ulleung Island, Korea.

ABSTRACT: Most known species in the Physalacriaceae are saprotrophs that grow on decaying leaves and wood, and approximately 21 genera in the Physalacriaceae have been reported worldwide. During an ongoing survey of indigenous fungi in Korea, four specimens belonging to the Physalacriaceae were collected on Ulleung Island. These specimens were identified as three species based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of rDNA-internal transcribed spacer sequences. Three species in three genera were shown to be new records in Korea: Hymenopellis orientalis, Paraxerula hongoi, and Ponticulomyces orientalis. The latter two are the first records of these genera in Korea. In this study, we provide detailed morphological descriptions of these species and describe their phylogenetic position within the Physalacriaceae.

The plastome sequence of Ulleung Rowan, Sorbus ulleungensis (Rosaceae), a new endemic species on Ulleung Island, Korea.

Project description:The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Sorbus ulleungensis, a recently described endemic species to Ulleung Island of Korea, was determined. The genome size was 159,632 bp in length with 36.5% GC content. It included a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 26,402 bp, which were separated by small single copy (SSC: 18,824 bp) and large single copy (LSC: 88,003 bp) regions. The cp genome contained 111 genes, including 78 protein coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of the combined 78 protein coding genes and four rRNA genes showed that S. ulleungensis was most closely related to Pyrus pyrifolia.

Arthonia ulleungdoensis, a New Lichenized Fungus from Ulleung Island, South Korea.

Project description:Arthonia ulleungdoensis Lee & Hur is described as a new lichen species from South Korea. The new species is distinguishable from Arthonia ruana A. Massal. by its large, rounded and non-punctiform apothecia, taller apothecial section, asci with fewer spores, and larger and permanently colorless spores. Molecular analyses employing mitochondrial small subunit (mtSSU) and RNA polymerase subunit II (RPB2) sequences strongly support Arthonia ulleungdoensis as a distinct species in the genus Arthonia. Overall, 22 Arthonia species are currently recorded in South Korea. A surrogate key is provided to assist in the identification of all 10 taxa of Arthonia/Arthothelium with muriform spores in Northeast Asia.

Mushroom Flora of Ulleung-gun and a Newly Recorded Bovista Species in the Republic of Korea.

Project description:We conducted five times surveys, in June, September and October in 2012; June and September 2013, to catalog the mushroom flora in Ulleung-gun, Republic of Korea. More than 400 specimens were collected, and 317 of the specimens were successfully sequenced using the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer barcode marker. We also surveyed the morphological characteristics of the sequenced specimens. The specimens were classified into 2 phyla, 7 classes, 21 orders, 59 families, 122 genera, and 221 species, and were deposited in the herbarium of Korea National Arboretum. Among the collected species, 72% were saprophytic, 25% were symbiotic, and 3% were parasitic. The most common order was Agaricales (189 specimens, 132 species), followed by Polyporales (47 specimens, 27 species), Russulales (31 specimens, 22 species), Boletales (10 specimens, 7 species), and so on. Herein, we also reported the first Bovista species in Korea, which was collected from Dokdo, the far-eastern island of Korea.

Penicillium ulleungdoense sp. nov. from Ulleung Island in Korea.

Project description:In a study of the fungal diversity on Ulleung Island in Korea, three novel strains of Penicillium were isolated. Different sites on Ulleung Island were selected for collecting endophytic fungi, and three endophytic fungal strains showed unique morphological characteristics. DNA sequence of the internal transcribed spacer, β-tubulin, calmodulin, and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit regions of the strains were analyzed and they showed unique taxonomic position from the other species of Penicillium section Sclerotiora. The new strains were named Penicillium ulleungdoense sp. nov. As the novel endophytic Penicillium taxa were discovered in a unique environment, the data could be meaningful for understanding the geographical distribution of Ascomycetes on Ulleung Island.

Seven New Recorded Species in Five Genera of the Strophariaceae in Korea.

Project description:Most known species in the Strophariaceae are decomposers and grow on various kind of organic matter. Approximately 18 genera and 1,316 species in the Strophariaceae have been reported worldwide. Through an ongoing survey of indigenous fungi in Korea, 29 specimens belonging to the Strophariaceae were collected from 2012 to 2016. These specimens were identified based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of internal transcribed spacer sequences. Fifteen taxa were confirmed, with eight species matching those previously recorded. Seven species in five genera were shown to be new records in Korea: Galerina marginata, Gymnopilus crociphyllus, Gymnopilus picreus, Hebeloma birrus, Hebeloma cavipes, Pholiota multicingulata, and Psilocybe thaizapoteca. In this study, we provide detailed morphological descriptions of these species and investigate their evolutionary relationships by constructing phylogenetic trees.

Two new enchytraeid species from Jeju Island, Korea (Annelida, Clitellata).

Project description:The enchytraeid fauna of three areas in Jeju Island (Korea) was studied, and comparative morphological and molecular taxonomic examinations (based on CO1, ITS and H3 sequences) were performed on nine samples collected in 2016. Twenty-two enchytraeid species were recorded and identified. The descriptions of two new species (Achaetamultisacculata sp. n. and Fridericiafloriformis sp. n.) are presented in this paper. The main diagnostic features of A.multisacculata sp. n. are: three pairs of pyriform glands per segment, clitellum with two "baguette-like" packages of glands, dorsal blood vessel from VII, secondary pharyngeal glands absent, oesophageal appendages well developed, two pairs of preclitellar nephridia, the reproductive organs (except the spermathecae in V) shifted one segment forward. The main features of F.floriformis sp. n. are that they are large worms, have up to 2-4 chaetae in bundles, strong body wall, thick cuticle, five pairs of preclitellar nephridia, c-type coelomo-mucocytes sometimes with some refractile vesicles, chylus cells in XII-XV, sperm funnels approximately twice as long than wide, spermathecae with long ectal duct without glands, ampullae surrounded distally by about 9-12 sessile diverticula of varying size. Molecular phylogenetic analyses supported the morphological results and confirmed the status of the two new species.

Chloroplast genome of critically endangered Cotoneaster wilsonii (Rosaceae) endemic to Ulleung Island, Korea.

Project description:Cotoneaster wilsonii Nakai is an endangered species endemic to Ulleung Island, Korea. Here we reported the first complete chloroplast gnome sequences of C. wilsonii, which is 159,999 bp in total length with the large single copy (LSC) region of 87,868 bp, the small single copy (SSC) region of 19,335 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,399 bp. The plastome contains 131 genes, including 84 protein-coding, eight ribosomal RNA, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content is 42.6% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.2, 30.3, and 42.6%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of 21 representative plastomes within the family Rosaceae suggests strongly the monophyly of Cotoneaster and C. wilsonii being sister to the clade of Cotoneaster franchetii and Cotoneaster horizontalis.
