Description

Cladosporium puris M. L. R. Freitas & O. L. Pereira, (2021)

Synonym.

Cladosporium brigadeirense P. P. Costa, A. W. C. Rosado & O. L. Pereira, Phytotaxa 560: 19 (2022), syn. nov.

Typification.

BRAZIL • Minas Gerais state, Canaã, on submerged litter in streams, Sep. 2017 (holotype VIC 44468, ex-type culture COAD 2487).

Description and illustration.

See Freitas et al. (2021).

Materials examined.

BRAZIL • Goiás state, Vila Propício municipality, Lapa do Boqueirão cave, isol. from air, May 2022, coll. P. H. Félix-Oliveira & J. D. P. Bezerra, isol. P. H. Félix-Oliveira, isolate FCCUFG 145.

Notes.

Cladosporium puris (C. cladosporioides SC) was described by Freitas et al. (2021) from submerged leaves in streams in Brazil. Subsequently, C. brigadeirense was proposed by Costa et al. (2022) as a sister species to C. puris, isolated from a decayed leaf of Chusquea urelytra (Poaceae) in the same Brazilian region. In the phylogenetic analyses (Figs 3, 9, Suppl. materials 1 –3, 7, 8), these species are indistinguishable, as they share overlapping morphological characteristics (Table 3) and exhibit only a few differences in their DNA sequences: the type sequence of C. brigadeirense (COAD 2257) differs from the type sequence of C. puris (COAD 2487) by 3 bp in the ACT sequence, 5 bp in the TEF 1 - α sequence, and 2 bp in the TUB sequence; the ITS and RPB 2 sequences showed no base pair difference. Therefore, C. brigadeirense is here reduced to a synonym of C. puris. This study expands the known geographical distribution and ecological niche of C. puris to a Cerrado cave (found at a sampling point outside the cave)
