species concepts in the cylindrocladium floridanum and cy. spathiphylli complexes (hypocreaceae) based on multi-allelic sequence data, sexual compatibility and morphology. | much attention has recently been devoted to the delimitation of species units in cylindrocladium (cy.). in this regard the present study focuses on the taxa within the unresolved cy. floridanum and cy. spathiphylli species complexes. maximum parsimony analyses of dna sequences of its, beta-tubulin and histone regions of rrna genes, and mating experiments revealed a geographically isolated species of cylindrocladium in the cy. spathiphylli (teleomorph: calonectria spathiphylli) species complex. c ... | 2001 | 11518323 |
rhodanobacter spathiphylli sp. nov., a gammaproteobacterium isolated from the roots of spathiphyllum plants grown in a compost-amended potting mix. | three gram-negative, yellow-pigmented strains were isolated from the rhizospheres of spathiphyllum plants grown in a compost-amended potting mix. the strains showed biological control activity towards the root-rot plant pathogen cylindrocladium spathiphylli, and were characterized to determine their taxonomic position. cells of the strains were non-motile rods, and the strains were oxidase- and catalase-positive and unable to ferment most sugars tested. the three strains showed differences in gr ... | 2006 | 16902003 |
