ABSTRACT

Three fungal strains belonging to the class Sordariomycetes, namely BH-06, 17-039 and BE12-1, were isolated from soils in Korea and identified as Chaunopycnis alba, Myrothecium cinctum and Humicola olivacea, respectively. These species were confirmed according to their morphological characteristics and phylogenetic relationships determined based on internal transcribed spacer regions, as well as large subunit, small subunit, β-Tubulin and RNA polymerase II largest subunit sequences of ribosomal DNA. These three species are the first members of the Sordariomycetes reported in Korea.
