Zygomycetes are phylogenetically early diverging, ecologically diverse, industrially
valuable, agriculturally beneficial, and clinically pathogenic fungi. Although new phyla and …

The Mucorales is a group of ancient fungi with global distribution. In the current study we
accessed mucoralean fungi isolated from two countries on opposite sides of the Earth and in …

Three novel fungal species, Backusella chlamydospora sp. nov., B. koreana sp. nov., and B.
thermophila sp. nov., as well as two new records, B. oblongielliptica and B. oblongispora …

 Abstract The species diversity of early-diverging fungi has long lagged behind that of higher
fungi, posing a significant obstacle to our comprehensive understanding of the fungal …

Zygomycetes are phylogenetically early diverged, ecologically diverse, industrially valuable,
agriculturally beneficial, and clinically pathogenic fungi. Although new phyla and subphyla …

A novel species of Mucor was identified as the causal agent of a brown rot of Prunus
domestica (European plum), widely grown in the south of Xinjiang, China. This disease first …

During a survey of Mucorales from a forest located in Pernambuco state, Brazil, two new
Backusella species were discovered and described based on morphological and molecular …

Backusella is morphologically and phylogenetically related to Mucor. Previously, due to
various morphological similarities, distinction between these two genera was difficult and …

The mucoralean genus Backusella comprises saprobe species commonly isolated from soil
and leaf litter but also from wood, invertebrates, and toads. Molecular species recognition of …

During an investigation of fungi of the orders Mucorales and Mortierellales in Korea, a new
Backusella species, Backusella terrestris sp. nov., and three new records, Entomortierella …
