Description

Bulleribasidium phyllophilum Q.M. Wang, F.Y. Bai & A.H. Li sp. nov. MycoBank MB828768. Fig. 8O, P.

Etymology: the specific epithet phyllophilum refers to leaves, the substrate origin of the type strain.

Culture characteristics: In YM broth, after 7 d at 17 °C, cells are ovoid and ellipsoidal, 2.0–4.0 × 4.0– 9.3 μm and single, budding is polar (Fig. 8O), a sediment is present. After 1 mo at 17 °C, a ring and sediment are present. On YM agar, after 1 mo at 17 °C, the streak culture is prey-cream, butyrous, smooth and semi-glossy. The margin is entire. In Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar, pseudohyphae are formed. Sexual structures are not observed on YM, PDA, V8 and CM agar. Ballistoconidia are ellipsoidal, subglobosal to napiform, 3.8– 6.2 × 4.6– 6.2 μm (Fig. 8P).

Physiological and biochemical characteristics: Glucose fermentation is absent. Glucose, galactose, sucrose, maltose, cellobiose, trehalose, melibiose, raffinose, melezitose, inulin (variable), soluble starch (variable), D-xylose, L-arabinose, Darabinose, L-rhamnose, D-glucosamine (weak), N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (variable), galactitol, D-mannitol, D-glucitol (variable), Methyl-α- D-glucoside (delayed and weak) and myo-inositol (variable) are assimilated as sole carbon sources. Lsorbose, lactose, D-ribose, methanol, ethanol, glycerol, erythritol, ribitol, salicin, DL-lactate, succinate, citrate and hexadecane are not assimilated. Ammonium sulfate, potassium nitrate (variable), L-lysine (variable) and ethylamine hydrochloride (variable) are assimilatedas sole nitrogen sources. Sodium nitrite and cadaverine dihydrochloride are not assimilated. Maximum growth temperature is 28 °C. Growth in vitamin-free medium is positive. Starch-like substances are not produced. Growth on 50 % (w/w) glucose-yeast extract agar is negative. Urease activity is positive. Diazonium Blue B reaction is positive.

Physiologically, Bu. phyllophilum and its closely related species Bu. foliicola cannot be distinguished from each other. The former did not grow at 30 °C, but the latter grew weak (Table S1.10).

Typus: China, Bangxi county, Hainan province, obtained from a leaf of an unidentified plant, Nov. 2006, Q.-M. Wang (holotype CGMCC 2.3320 T preserved in a metabolically inactive state, ex-type CBS 15474 = HBX2.8).
