Stachybotryaceae
The Stachybotryaceae are a family of fungi in the order Hypocreales; the genera it contains have been described as "hyper-diverse". The family was originally introduced by Crous et al. (2014) to accommodate three genera; ''Myrothecium'', ''Peethamabra'' and ''Stachybotrys''. It was revised by Lombard et al. (2016) based on morphological characters and multi-locus phylogenetic analysis. They accepted 33 genera in the family, including 21 new genera. Generally, the species in Stachybotryaceae are characterized by asexual morphs with mononematous to sporodochial to synnematous conidiomata, usually with phialidic conidiogenous cells that produce 0–1-septate conidia in dark green dry chains or slimy masses. Three species of Stachybotryaceae;(''Koorchalomella salmonispora'', ''Stachybotrys chartarum'' and ''Stachybotrys chlorohalonata'') have been reported from freshwater habitats. Genera As accepted in 2020 (with amount of species): Note; for ''Stachybotrys'' , 12 species have b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stachybotrys
''Stachybotrys'' () is a genus of molds, hyphomycetes or asexually reproducing, filamentous fungi, now placed in the family Stachybotryaceae. The genus was erected by August Carl Joseph Corda in 1837. Historically, it was considered closely related to the genus ''Memnoniella'', because the spores are produced in slimy heads rather than in dry chains. Recently, the synonymy of the two genera is generally accepted. Most ''Stachybotrys'' species inhabit materials rich in cellulose. The genus has a widespread distribution and contained about 50 species in 2008. There are 88 records of ''Stachybotrys'' on Species Fungorum (in 2023), of which 33 species have DNA sequence data in GenBank. Species in the genus are commonly found in soil, plant litter (hay, straw, cereal grains, and decaying plant debris) and air and a few species have been found from damp paper, cotton, linen, cellulose-based building materials water-damaged indoor buildings, and air ducts from both aquatic and terres ...
