Illuminating type collections of nectriaceous fungi in Saccardo\u2019s fungarium

Specimens of Nectria spp. and Nectriella rufofusca were obtained from the fungarium of Pier Andrea Saccardo, and investigated via a morphological and molecular approach based on MiSeq technology. ITS1 and ITS2 sequences were successfully obtained from 24 specimens identified as \u2018Nectria\u2019 sensu Saccardo (including 20 types) and from the type specimen of Nectriella rufofusca. For Nectria ambigua, N. radians and N. tjibodensis only the ITS1 sequence was recovered. On the basis of morphological and molecular analyses new nomenclatural combinations for Nectria albofimbriata, N. ambigua, N. ambigua var. pallens, N. granuligera, N. peziza subsp. reyesiana, N. radians, N. squamuligera, N. tjibodensis and new synonymies for N. congesta, N. flageoletiana, N. phyllostachydis, N. sordescens and N. tjibodensis var. crebrior are proposed. Furthermore, the current classification is confirmed for Nectria coronata, N. cyanostoma, N. dolichospora, N. illudens, N. leucotricha, N. mantuana, N. raripila and Nectriella rufofusca. This is the first time that these more than 100-yr-old specimens are subjected to molecular analysis, thereby providing important new DNA sequence data authentic for these names

Plant growth promoting potential of bacterial endophytes from three terrestrial mediterranean orchid species

Orchids are highly dependent on symbiotic microorganisms during their entire life cycle. Whereas an important role in orchid seed germination and early plant development is well established for mycorrhizal fungi, the influence of endophytic bacteria on orchid growth has been less investigated. Here, we report the isolation of endophytic bacteria from different organs of three terrestrial Mediterranean orchid species (Spiranthes spiralis, Serapias vomeracea and Neottia ovata), the investigation of their potential Plant Growth-Promoting (PGP) traits and their interaction with the orchid mycorrhizal (OM) fungus Tulasnella calosporain vitro. Little overlap was found among endophytic bacteria isolated from the different organs of the three orchid species. Taxonomic identification, based on the 16S rRNA gene, of fifty dereplicated bacterial isolates revealed that they belong to the genera Pseudomonas, Pantoea, Rahnella, Staphylococcus, Sphingomonas, Microbacterium, Streptomyces, Fictibacillus and Bacillus. Most bacterial isolates exhibited some potential PGP traits, such as nutrient solubilization, ACC deaminase activities and/or IAA biosynthesis. Although some Pseudomonas reduced growth of the OM fungus Tulasnella calospora, most isolates did not affect fungal growth. These results increase our understanding of the diversity and potential PGP functions of bacterial endophytes in terrestrial orchids, and suggest a role as beneficial partners in the orchid microbiota
