- Systematic biology
- 1 April 2009
We present a 6-gene, 420-species maximum-likelihood phylogeny of Ascomycota, the largest phylum of Fungi. This analysis is the most taxonomically complete to date with species sampled from all 15… Expand

- 1 October 2004
Based on an overview of progress in molecular systematics of the true fungi (Fungi/Eumycota) since 1990, little overlap was found among single-locus data matrices, which explains why no large-scale… Expand
Detection of Seven Major Evolutionary Lineages in Cyanobacteria Based on the 16S rRNA Gene Sequence Analysis with New Sequences of Five Marine Synechococcus Strains

Abstract. Although molecular phylogenetic studies of cyanobacteria on the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence have been reported, the topologies were unstable, especially in the inner branchings. Our… Expand

The Zygomycota is an ecologically heterogenous assemblage of nonzoosporic fungi comprising two classes, Zygomycetes and Trichomycetes. Phylogenetic analyses have suggested that the phylum is… Expand
Is Penicillium monophyletic? An evaluation of phylogeny in the family Trichocomaceae from 18S, 5.8S and ITS ribosomal DNA sequence data.

- Biology
- 1 March 1995
AbstractUsing ribosomal DNA sequences from 17 fungi, we evaluated the monophylly of Penicillium and the phylogeny in the ascomycete family Trichocomaceae (= Eurotiaceae). We determined the 5.8S and...
Proposal to reclassify Zoogloea ramigera IAM 12670 (P. R. Dugan 115) as Duganella zoogloeoides gen. nov., sp. nov.

- 1 October 1997
The taxonomic position of a misclassified strain, Zoogloea remigera IAM 12670T (= ATCC 25925T = P. R. Dugan 115T), was reevaluated. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S ribosomal rDNA sequences… Expand

The early diverging Ascomycota lineage, detected primarily from nSSU rDNA sequence-based phylogenetic analyses, includes enigmatic key taxa important to an understanding of the phylogeny and… Expand
Molecular phylogeny of Zygomycota based on EF-1alpha and RPB1 sequences: limitations and utility of alternative markers to rDNA.

- 1 February 2004
Earlier molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA (nSSU rDNA) suggest that the Zygomycota are polyphyletic within the Chytridiomycota. However, these analyses… Expand
Phylogenetic divergence of the entomophthoralean fungi: Evidence from nuclear 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequences
- T. Nagahama, H. Sato, M. Shimazu, J. Sugiyama
- Biology
- 1 March 1995
To analyze the phylogeny and molecular evolution of the entomophthoralean fungi, we deter? mined the small subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA gene sequences for four representative species of the En-… Expand
