- Abstract
A new species of Neostagonospora associated with Spinifex littoreus was found. Endophytic isolates remained sterile, but a specimen collected on living leaves could be used for morphological characterization and cultivation. The ITS sequences from the cultures as well as from direct total DNA extraction from the plant indicated conspecificity and a broader geographic distribution than the single field collection, but yielded low support on the genus level in phylogenetic analyses. Analysis of the RPB2 sequences, however, sufficiently supported a placement of the species in Neostagonospora. The shape of conidiogenous cells as well as numbers of septa and sizes of conidia are useful characters for distinguishing Neostagonospora species.
