Phylogenetic evaluation
The ML analyses primarily based on the rpb2 dataset (Fig. S1) confirmed the phylogenetic placement of strains CBS 149229, CBS 148468, CBS 148467 and CBS 149228 inside Trichocomaceae. Detailed statistics and the mannequin chosen for the ML evaluation is given in Desk 2. The phylogram was rooted with Paecilomyces brunneolus CBS 370.70 T. Briefly, the ML evaluation grouped studied strains into 15 lineages, together with outgroup. These lineages are in settlement with knowledge printed in research on Trichocomaceae13,14,25. Primarily based on these knowledge, CBS 149229 and CBS 148468 will be categorised in Rasamsonia, and CBS 148468 and CBS 148467 in Talaromyces sect. Bacillispori.
The Rasamsonia dataset contained sequences from 17 strains, together with the outgroup Trichocoma paradoxa (CBS 103.73 T). The mixed dataset (ITS, BenA, and CaM) contained 1664 websites, together with alignment gaps. Of those, 1007 had been conserved and 435 parsimony-informative. Detailed outcomes for every single gene dataset together with corresponding fashions are given in Desk 2. Strains CBS 148468 and CBS 149229 type a lineage inside Rasamsonia (Fig. 1). This lineage is sister to a clade containing R. brevistipitata, R. columbiensis, R. frigidotolerans, R. oblata, R. pulvericola and R. sabulosa. Single locus timber of particular person loci (ITS, BenA, CaM, rpb2) are proven in Fig. S2.
