- Abstract
Here we report on a fungus that is new to science and was isolated from a swab sample collected in a Massachusetts (USA) residence. Morphological characters of the fungus were studied and DNA sequences generated from internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) ribosomal loci and from rpb2 and tub2 loci were used to establish a proper phylogenetic relationship with allied genera. The fungus was named Botryotrichum domesticum. The newly named species has thick-walled conidia globose to subglobose, 17.7 μm ± 2.6 μm × 17.3 μm ± 2.5 μm, developing on both aerial and immersed hyphae, with an absence of setae.
