Phylogenetic, ecological and morphological characteristics reveal two new spider-associated genera in Clavicipitaceae [PDF]
Clavicipitaceous fungi are pathogenic to scale insects, white flies and other insect orders. However, a few species are spider-associated. Two new genera from China, Neoaraneomyces and Pseudometarhizium, are described based on phylogenetic, ecological ...

Ergot Alkaloids of the Family Clavicipitaceae [PDF]
Ergot alkaloids are highly diverse in structure, exhibit diverse effects on animals, and are produced by diverse fungi in the phylum Ascomycota, including pathogens and mutualistic symbionts of plants. These mycotoxins are best known from the fungal family Clavicipitaceae and are named for the ergot fungi that, through millennia, have contaminated ...

Development of a PCR-based mating-type assay for Clavicipitaceae [PDF]
This study developed a PCR-based mating-type assay for Clavicipitaceae. PCR primer sets for the mating-type genes MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1 were designed based on the amino acid sequences of the conserved alpha and HMG boxes, respectively. The PCR-based mating-type assay could be applied for various clavicipitaceous genera (Balansia, Claviceps, Cordyceps ...
