Phylogenetic relationships of the genus Phanerochaete inferred from the internal transcribed spacer region

Phanerochaete is a genus of resupinate homobasidiomycetes that are saprophytic on woody debris and logs. Morphological studies in the past indicated that Phanerochaete is a heterogeneous assemblage of species. In this study the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA was used to test the monophyly of the genus Phanerochaete and to infer phylogenetic relationships of the 24 taxa studied. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian analyses do not support the monophyly of the genus. However, a core group of species represented by Phanerochaete velutina, P. chrysosporium, P. sordida, P. sanguinea and others are closely related and group together in a clade. Other common Phanerochaete species including Phanerochaete rimosa, P. chrysorhiza, P. omnivora, P. avellanea, P. tuberculata, P. flava, and P. allantospora, however, do not cluster with the core Phanerochaete group.

      In China, 13 species of endophytes were isolated from 80 segments of S. album roots collected from 3 trees (Sun et al., 2014). In our study, 40 species of endophytes were identified indicating that they are ubiquitous in sandalwood (De Koker et al., 2003). Fusarium solani (Nectriaceae), a hyaline mould, and the small-spored Alternaria arborescens (Pleosporaceae) were some of the most commonly isolated endophytes in the current study.

      Phlebia albomellea (AY293144) appears in a different clade in the 18S tree. In this regard, several studies have shown that Phlebia's molecular phylogeny is not a monophyletic group (De Koker et al., 2003; Parmasto and Hallenberg, 2000; Moncalvo et al., 2000). Also in the ITS and 28S trees, Phlebia species are associated in different clades.
