Study identifies new genus bifusiformispora and five species in rhytismataceae, highlighting host specificity.
Many species in Rhytismataceae exhibit distinct host specificity. The present study focuses on Rhytismataceae associated with needles of Juniperus species. Based on analyses of morphology, phylogeny, and ecology, the new genus Bifusiformispora is proposed, along with five new species: Bifusiformispora ovalis, B. lucida, B. opaca, Hypoderma rostratum, and Lophodermium germanicum. In addition, two new combinations, Bifusiformispora junipericola and Lophodermium junipericola, are proposed. Finally, a key to Rhytismataceae species on Juniperus needles worldwide is provided.
