The ecologically and economically important arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, crucial in the ecology and physiology of land plants, and the endocytobiotic fungus, Geosiphon pyriformis, are phylogenetically analysed by their small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences. They can, from molecular, morphological and ecological characteristics, unequivocally be separated from all other major fungal groups in a monophyletic clade. Consequently they are removed from the polyphyletic Zygomycota, and placed…

The results suggest that loss of the flagellum happened only once during early stages of fungal evolution; consequently, the majority of fungi, unlike plants and animals, are nonflagellated.

The genetic characteristics of the AMF mitochondrion are promising for development of molecular genetic markers and evolutionary sequence analyses, and will therefore be relevant for further studies of genetics, ecology and evolution of AMF.
New sporocarpic taxa in the phylum Glomeromycota: Sclerocarpum amazonicum gen. et sp. nov. in the family Glomeraceae (Glomerales) and Diversispora sporocarpia sp. nov. in the Diversisporaceae (Diversisporales)

The Brazilian fungus was here described as the new genus and new species Sclerocarpum gen. nov. and the Polish fungus was accommodated in a sister clade to a clade grouping sequences of Diversispora epigaea, a fungus that also occasionally produces spores in sporocarps, belonging in the Diverisporaceae (Diversisporales).

RPB1 sequences of representatives of the remaining families are needed for for a comprehensive phylogeny of glomeromycotan fungi, as all members of the Glomeromycota contained an intron at the same location in their RPB1 gene, which seems to be ideal for molecular species identification using restriction analysis in community studies of the AMF.

The phylogenetic analyses confirm the existence of three families within arbuscular fungi on the basis of morphological characters and obtain approximate dates for the divergence of major branche's on the phylogenetic tree, consistent with the hypothesis that VAM were instrumental in the colonization of land by ancient plants.

Ectomycorrhizal forests are generally temperate or occur on infertile soils in the tropics, and apparently have expanded in a series of ecologically important events through the course of time from the Middle Cretaceous onward at the expense of endomycor Rhizale forests.
