Abstract

The Global Consortium for the Classification of Fungi and fungus-like taxa is an international initiative of more than 550 mycologists to develop an electronic structure for the classification of these organisms. The members of the Consortium originate from 55 countries/regions worldwide, from a wide range of disciplines, and include senior, mid-career and early-career mycologists and plant pathologists. The Consortium will publish a biannual update of the Outline of Fungi and funguslike taxa, to act as an international scheme for other scientists. Notes on all newly published taxa at or above the level of species will be prepared and published online on the Outline of Fungi website (https://www.outlineoffungi.org/), and these will be finally published in the biannual edition of the Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa. Comments on recent important taxonomic opinions on controversial topics will be included in the biannual outline. For example, ‘to promote a more stable taxonomy in Fusarium given the divergences over its generic delimitation’, or ‘are there too many genera in the Boletales?’ and even more importantly, ‘what should be done with the tremendously diverse ‘dark fungal taxa?’ There are undeniable differences in mycologists’ perceptions and opinions regarding species classification as well as the establishment of new species. Given the pluralistic nature of fungal taxonomy and its implications for species concepts and the nature of species, this consortium aims to provide a platform to better refine and stabilise fungal classification, taking into consideration views from different parties. In the future, a confidential voting system will be set up to gauge the opinions of all mycologists in the Consortium on important topics. The results of such surveys will be presented to the International Commission on the Taxonomy of Fungi (ICTF) and the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF) with opinions and percentages of votes for and against.

Abstract

Since 1971, a prospective treatment regimen for primary cutaneous malignant melanoma performed by a single clinician has revealed the following early observations: 1) A significantly higher number of females with level II disease; 2) No recurrences or metastases to date in 29 patients with level II lesions treated by appropriate surgery; 3) The apparent clinical predictability of lymph node metastases in the group microstaged at level III. 4) An inability to predict lymph node metastases (or their delayed development) in patients with level IV disease; 5) A correlation between lymph node metastases and the development of disseminated disease.

Abstract

Based on seven- and three-gene datasets, we discuss four alternative approaches for a reclassification of Fomitopsidaceae (Polyporales , Basidiomycota) . After taking into account morphological diversity in the family, we argue in favour of distinguishing three genera only, viz . Anthoporia , Antrodia and Fomitopsis . Fomitopsis becomes a large genus with 128 accepted species, containing almost all former Fomitopsis spp. and most species formerly placed in Antrodia , Daedalea and Laccocephalum . Genera Buglossoporus , Cartilosoma , Daedalea , Melanoporia , Neolentiporus , alongside twenty others, are treated as synonyms of Fomitopsis . This generic scheme allows for morphologically distinct genera in Fomitopsidaceae , unlike other schemes we considered. We provide arguments for retaining Fomitopsis and suppressing earlier ( Daedalea , Caloporus ) or simultaneously published generic names ( Piptoporus ) considered here as its synonyms. Taxonomy of nine species complexes in the genus is revised based on ITS, ITS + TEF1 , ITS + TEF1 + RPB1 and ITS + TEF1 + RPB2 datasets. In total, 17 species are described as new to science, 26 older species are reinstated and 26 currently accepted species names are relegated to synonymy. A condensed identification key for all accepted species in the genus is provided.

5. Four new species of Hydnellum ( Thelephorales , Basidiomycota ) with a note on Sarcodon illudens .

Author

Abstract

Four new Hydnellum species are described. Hydnellum roseoviolaceum sp. nov . grows in dry pine heaths on acidic, sandy soil. It is close to H. fuligineoviolaceum , another pine-associated species, but differs by smaller spores, an initially rose-coloured instead of violet flesh in fresh basidiomata and a mild taste. Hydnellum scabrosellum sp. nov . grows in coniferous forests on calcareous soil. It shares a general morphology with H. scabrosum , which also is its closest relative. It differs by having smaller and slenderer basidiomata and by the yellowish ochraceous colour of flesh and spines in dried specimens compared to the whitish or reddish brown colour seen in H. scabrosum . Hydnellum fagiscabrosum sp. nov . is another species with morphological and phylogenetic affinities to H. scabrosum . However, it is associated with trees from Fagales whereas H. scabrosum is associated with Pinaceae . Hydnellum nemorosum sp. nov . is yet another species that associates with broadleaved trees. It seems to be a rare species, morphologically reminiscent of H. fuligineoviolaceum , H. ioeides and H. scabrosum, but it is phylogenetically close to H. fennicum . Sequences from the type specimens of H. glaucopus , H. lepidum , H. scabrosum , Sarcodon illudens and S. regalis are included in the analyses. Specimens given the provisional name " Sarcodon pseudoglaucopus " in Sweden are now shown to be referable to S. illudens . The analyses further showed that S. illudens is close to H. lepidum . The new combination Hydnellum illudens is proposed. Sarcodon regalis and H . lepidum are shown to be conspecific and, although their basionyms were simultaneously published, the name S. regalis was only validated in a later publication. Hydnellum lepidum therefore takes priority and S. regalis becomes a synonym. Citation: Nitare J, Ainsworth AM, Larsson E, Parfitt D, Suz LM, Svantesson S, Larsson K-H (2021).

6. Diversity of Chroogomphus ( Gomphidiaceae , Boletales ) in Europe, and typification of C. rutilus .

Author

Abstract

In this study, eight species of Chroogomphus are recognized from Europe: C. britannicus , C. aff. filiformis 1, C. fulmineus , C. cf . helveticus , C. mediterraneus , C . cf. purpurascens , C. rutilus , and C. subfulmineus . Different candidates for the application of the name C. rutilus are evaluated and the best fit to the description is selected; lecto- and epitypes are chosen to fix the name. Chroogomphus fulmineus and C. mediterraneus are also epitypified and a new species, C. subfulmineus , is described. The infrageneric classification is revised and a new subgenus Siccigomphus and three new sections, Confusi, Filiformes , and Fulminei are introduced. The former sections Chroogomphus and Floccigomphus are elevated to subgeneric level. Comparison of the ITS regions (nuc rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) of all species studied shows that there is a minimum interspecific difference of 1.5 %, with the exception of the two species belonging to sect. Fulminei which differ by a minimum of 0.9 %. Ecological specimen data indicate that species of Chroogomphus form basidiomes under members of Pinaceae , with a general preference for species of Pinus . Five European species have been recorded under Picea , while Abies and Larix have also been recorded as tree associates, although the detailed nutritional relationships of the genus, involving other suilloid fungi in particular, have yet to be fully clarified.

Abstract

Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify biological diversity) with nomenclature (an artificial agreement to name biological diversity). Two proposals to amend the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), allowing DNA sequences alone (of any region and extent) to serve as types of taxon names for voucherless fungi (mainly putative taxa from environmental DNA sequences), have been submitted to be voted on at the 11 th International Mycological Congress (Puerto Rico, July 2018). We consider various genetic processes affecting the distribution of alleles among taxa and find that alleles may not consistently and uniquely represent the species within which they are contained. Should the proposals be accepted, the meaning of nomenclatural types would change in a fundamental way from physical objects as sources of data to the data themselves. Such changes are conducive to irreproducible science, the potential typification on artefactual data, and massive creation of names with low information content, ultimately causing nomenclatural instability and unnecessary work for future researchers that would stall future explorations of fungal diversity. We conclude that the acceptance of DNA sequences alone as types of names of taxa, under the terms used in the current proposals, is unnecessary and would not solve the problem of naming putative taxa known only from DNA sequences in a scientifically defensible way. As an alternative, we highlight the use of formulas for naming putative taxa (candidate taxa) that do not require any modification of the ICN.

Abstract

Since the nineteenth century, Myriostoma has been regarded as a monotypic genus with a widespread distribution in north temperate and subtropical regions. However, on the basis of morphological characters and phylogenetic evidence of DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and the large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (LSU), four species are now delimited: M. areolatum comb. & stat. nov., M. calongei sp. nov., M. capillisporum comb. & stat. nov., and M. coliforme. Myriostoma coliforme is typified by selecting a lectotype (iconotype) and a modern sequenced collection as an epitype. The four species can be discriminated by a combination of morphological characters, such as stomatal form, endoperidial surface texture, and basidiospore size and ornamentation.

Abstract

A series of reduced benzo[j]fluoranthen-3-ones (1-4) was isolated from fermentations of a fungal strain CBUK20700 (CBS 100220), classified as Cladosporium cf. cladosporioides, during a microbial extract screening programme to identify inhibitors of anti-CD28-induced interleukin-2 (IL-2) production by Jurkat E6-1 cells as potential immunosuppressive agents. These compounds were also found to be tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The structures of compounds 1-4 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including the HMQC, HMBC and NOESY NMR experiments. The most potent compound in the series, (6bS,7R,8S)-7-methoxy-4,8,9-trihydroxy-1,6b,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[j]fluoranthen-3-one (1) inhibited anti-CD28-induced IL-2 production and Abl tyrosine kinase with IC50 values of 400 and 60 nM respectively. The 6b-stereoisomeric 2 was a moderate inhibitor of both IL-2 production and Abl tyrosine kinase while the 8-oxo derivative 3 was inactive in both assays. The 8-O-methyl ether 4 was a moderate inhibitor of IL-2 production but exhibited potent inhibition of Abl tyrosine kinase with an IC50 of 45 nM.

Abstract

The microbial organic-nitrogen transformation variables, extracellular leucine aminopeptidase activity, and leucine assimilation, were determined at stone surfaces and in river water at six sites along 138 km of the River Tweed and also in a major tributary, the River Teviot. Sampling was on 3 days, representative of spring, summer and autumn. The variables, except for epilithic leucine assimilation, all showed significant downstream increase on at least 2 of the sampling days. Their values tended to be lowest in spring (early April). Aminopeptidase activity, leucine assimilation, microbial abundance, and pattern of downstream increase in the Tweed were shown to be broadly similar to in the River Swale, northern England. Microbial organic-nitrogen transformations and abundance in the Teviot tended to equal or exceed those in the lower Tweed, probably because of enrichment of the tributary by sewage-works discharges.

Abstract

Parallel determinations of epilithic extracellular leucine aminopeptidase activity and leucine assimilation were made at five sites along 112 km of the River Swale and also in two tributaries, the River Wiske and Cod Beck. Epilithic leucine aminopeptidase activity along the Swale increased with distance downstream; this increase was gradual, rather than stepwise in response to specific sewage-works outfalls. Epilithic leucine assimilation, in contrast, did not consistently increase along the river. Epilithic leucine aminopeptidase activity and leucine assimilation were both potentially controlled by epilithic microbial variables (bacterial abundance and chlorophyll a) while leucine aminopeptidase activity was also strongly related to water-quality variables, especially temperature, pH and conductivity. Epilithic leucine aminopeptidase activity and leucine assimilation were coupled, but the magnitude of aminopeptidase activity was always substantially greater than that of leucine assimilation. Arguments are presented, however, which suggest that this did not necessarily indicate the constant availability of excess leucine, and by inference amino-acid nitrogen, to epilithic bacteria. Values of epilithic leucine aminopeptidase activity and leucine assimilation, expressed relative to rates in overlying water, suggested that most activity and assimilation was epilithic rather than planktonic, although the planktonic contribution was proportionately greater at the deeper, more downstream, sites. In the tributaries, River Wiske and Cod Beck, values of epilithic leucine aminopeptidase activity and epilithic microbial abundance, as well as those of many water-quality variables, resembled values in the middle and lower Swale. Thus, these tributaries were essentially lowland, enriched watercourses being very different from the headstreams of the main river.

Abstract

The immediate-early (IE) genes of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) can be expressed in monocytic cells and are known to regulate viral and cellular genes. Reactivation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) may be stimulated by a variety of factors including other viruses and inflammatory cytokines. These studies examine the role of hyperthermia and CMV in the regulation of HIV-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. THP-1 cells were transfected with the CMV IE genes. HIV-1 and TNF-alpha transcription were assessed with chloramphenicol acetyltransferase promoter constructs. Hyperthermia sufficient to stimulate production of heat shock proteins was used to stimulate the cells. Hyperthermia significantly enhances the effect of CMV IE gene products on the expression of HIV-1 and TNF-alpha. The increases in HIV-1 transcription appear to be in part due to increases in TNF-alpha. Heat shock proteins induced by hyperthermia may play an important role in the viral regulation of monocytic function by CMV.

Abstract

A series of novel 6-substituted 5,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-alpha-pyrone esters, 1 approximately 3, isolated from fermentations of a Phomopsis sp. (Xenova culture collection no. X22502) have been identified as inhibitors of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokine production. These include the (6S)-4,6-dimethyldodecadien-2E,4E-dienoyl ester of phomalactone, 1, and two analogues bearing a prop-2E-enoic acid moiety at the 6-position of the alpha-pyrone ring. (6S)-4,6-Dimethyl-2E,4E-dienoic acid, 4, and a hydroxylated analogue, 5, were also isolated and characterised. The most potent cytokine production inhibitor was 1, which inhibited LPS-induced tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) production by U937 cells and LPS-induced interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with IC50 values of 80 nM and 190 nM respectively. The effect of 1 in PBMC was selective for IL-1beta relative to TNFalpha. The inhibition of IL-1beta production by 1 involved a post-translational mechanism of action at the level of IL-1beta secretion as demonstrated by the lack of an effect on cell-associated IL-1beta production. 1 showed no effect on the activity of caspase 1 in cytosolic extracts from the THP1 monocytic cell line.

Abstract

A novel peptide, XR586, has been isolated from fermentations of Acremonium persicinum (Xenova culture collection number X21488). The structure of XR586 has been elucidated by means of NMR spectroscopy, electrospray and fast-atom bombardment MS, derivatization and enzymic digestion. It has been shown to be helical by CD measurements. XR586 shows many structural and conformational features in common with peptaibols, particularly the zervamicins. Peptaibol antibiotics are peptides, typically of 15-20 residues, containing a large proportion of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) residues. These peptides adopt a helical conformation in solution and display anti-bacterial and toxic properties due to their ability to form pores in membranes. However, while XR586 contains several Aib residues, it lacks a terminal phenylalaninol and terminates in the sequence Phe-Gly. The lack of reduction of the penultimate residue at the C-terminus may indicate that this step is normally at the end of the biosynthetic pathway of peptaibols and occurs with cleavage of Gly. The 1H chemical shift assignments of XR586 are reported in Supplementary Publication SUP 50179 (3 pages), which has been deposited at the British Library Document Supply Centre, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem.

Abstract

Submerged liquid cultures of the basidiomycete Favolaschia pustulosa (Xenova culture collection no. X27732) afforded the novel 9-methoxystrobilurin derivatives, 9-methoxystrobilurin L (1) and 9-methoxystrobilurin E (2), and the related oudemansin derivative, oudemansin L (3). Their structures were established by 2D NMR experiments. Compounds 1 and 3 possess a novel arrangement of two isoprenoid units fused to the aromatic nucleus. Both 1 and 2 have the EEE-configuration in the pentadienyl side chain as reported previously for 9-methoxystrobilurins. Compound 1 was cytotoxic to cells of the human B lymphoblastoid cell line (Jijoye), with an IC50 of 1.8 nM. This cytotoxicity was observed in a 5- day assay only and was not apparent after 2 days. Compound 1 showed some antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis (MIC = 0.9 microM) and antifungal activity against Candida albicans (MIC = 6 microM).

Abstract

A series of novel drimane sesquiterpene esters (1-6) was isolated from fermentations of Aspergillus ustus var. pseudodeflectus and their structures elucidated by spectroscopic methods including the HMQC, HMBC and INADEQUATE NMR experiments. The major component of the fermentation, 1, was (2'E,4'E,6'E)-6-(1'-carboxy-2',4',6'-trien)-9-hydroxydrim-7-ene-11 ,12-olide. Compounds 1, 2, 3 and 5 exhibited endothelin receptor binding inhibitory activity against rabbit endothelin-A and rat endothelin-B receptors with IC50 values in the range 20-150 microM. These compounds had similar levels of activity in assays for binding to human endothelin A and endothelin B receptors. The isolation of 9,11-dihydroxy-6-oxodrim-7-ene, 7, a probable biosynthetic precursor to the drimane esters is also reported.

Abstract

A series of azaphilones produced by Penicillium sclerotiorum (Xenova culture collection number X11853) active in assays for the detection of antagonists of the endothelin-A (ETA) and endothelin-B (ETB) receptors has been identified. The series includes two novel sclerotiorin analogues, (8S,8 alpha-R)-7-deacetyl-1,O8,8,8a-tetrahydro-7-epi-sclerotiorin, 1, and its 5-dechloro analogue, 2. It also includes 5-chloroisorotiorin, 6, previously unreported as a natural product, in addition to the major product of these fermentations, (+)-sclerotiorin, 5. Data for the inhibition of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelin-3 (ET-3) binding in the ETA and ETB receptor assays respectively are reported for this series. Compounds 1 and 2 were more selective for the rabbit ETA receptor than for the rat ETB receptor. The IC50 values for 1 and 2 were 9 and 28 microM respectively in an assay based on binding of ET-1 to rabbit ETA receptors. In an assay based on the binding of ET-3 to the rat ETB receptor compounds 1 and 2 exhibited IC50's of 77 and 172 microM. Members of this series of compounds demonstrated antagonist behavior in a secondary assay based on blockade of ET-1 stimulated arachidonic acid release from rabbit renal artery smooth muscle cells, when present at concentrations of > or = 30 microM.

Abstract

Distinctive melanocytic moles are described in 37 patients from six melanoma families. Among the family members examined by the authors, 15 of 17 patients with melanoma and 22 of 41 nonmelanoma relatives had the unique moles. The clinical and histological features of these moles have been designated the "B-K mole syndrome." The clinical features of the syndrome include the presence of less than 10 to greater than 100 moles prominent of the upper trunk and extremities, and variability of mole size (5 mm to 15 mm), outline, and color combination. Histologically, B-K moles show atypical melanocytic hyperplasia, lymphocytic infiltration, delicate fibroplasia, and new blood vessels that occur within a compound nevus or de novo. The transformation of two B-K moles into malignant melanomas was documented photographically.

Abstract

In seven consecutive melanoma-prone families, pigmented lesions with distinctive clinical and histologic characteristics occurred in 18 of 20 melanoma patients (90%) and 24 of 43 first-degree relatives (56%). Recognition of these lesions led to the detection of early-stage melanoma in six family members. This syndrome appears to represent an autosomal dominant trait and may serve as a cutaneous marker to identify persons at high risk for melanoma.

Abstract

A melanin-synthesizing tumor of the urinary bladder was studied by light and electron microscopy. Careful clinical evaluation did not reveal evidence for a primary melanoma elsewhere in the patient. The clinical presentation, course of the disease, and demonstration of melanocytes in the bladder epithelium and malignant melanocytes comprising the tumor by light and electron microscopy indicated that the neoplasm was a primary malignant melanoma arising in the bladder.

Abstract

We have attempted to describe virtually all forms of malignant melanoma which affect man except those arising in the eye. The vast majority of malignant melanomas clearly fall into one of three kinds: (1) malignant melanoma of the superficial-spreading type, (2) malignant melanoma of the lentigo-maligna type, and (3) malignant melanoma of the nodular type. The developmental biology of a primary neoplasm is illustrated by discussing and illustrating the evolution of these three dominant forms of melanoma. Primary malignant melanoma of the superficial-spreading type and of the lentigo-maligna type develop through a characteristic biphasic growth pattern: an initial radial-growth phase, followed by a vertical-growth phase. The radial-growth phase of these melanomas is only rarely associated with the development of metastases, while the vertical-growth phase is commonly associated with subsequent metastatic disease. The phenomenon of the vertical-growth phase is apparently, therefore, a qualitative step in the development of a primary malignant melanoma. Malignant melanoma of the nodular type is an example of a primary tumor without a precursor developmental stage such as a radial-growth phase.
