| a multi-gene phylogeny for stachybotrys evidences lack of trichodiene synthase (tri5) gene for isolates of one of three intrageneric lineages. | members of the mitosporic fungal form-genus stachybotrys, including common indoor contaminants stachybotrys chartarum, stachybotrys echinata and stachybotrys chlorohalonata, are capable of producing potent, protein synthesis-inhibiting, trichothecene mycotoxins. a combined multi-gene approach was used to investigate relationships among species of stachybotrys against which the presence/absence of the trichothecene biosynthetic pathway gene, trichodiene synthase (tri5), was evaluated. phylogeneti ... | 2009 | 19422915 |
| molecular and phenotypic descriptions of stachybotrys chlorohalonata sp. nov. and two chemotypes of stachybotrys chartarum found in water-damaged buildings. | twenty-five stachybotrys isolates from two previous studies have been examined and compared, using morphological, chemical and phylogenetic methods. the results show that s. chartarum sensu lato can be segregated into two chemotypes and one new species. the new species, s. chlorohalonata, differs morphologically from s. chartarum by having smooth conidia, being more restricted in growth and producing a green extracellular pigment on the medium cya. s. chlorohalonata and s. chartarum also have di ... | 2003 | 21149024 |
