Monoblepharomycota is a phylum or division of early-diverging fungi in the subkingdom Chytridiomyceta. The name was introduced by Alexander B. Doweld in 2001.[1] In some earlier and alternative classifications, members of the group have been treated at class level as Monoblepharidomycetes within Chytridiomycota.[2]
Taxonomy
The taxon was published by Doweld as Monoblepharomycota in 2001.[1] Recent high-level fungal classifications have accepted Monoblepharomycota as a phylum, although the limits and placement of early-diverging fungal lineages have changed repeatedly with molecular phylogenetic studies.[3][4]
The group is closely associated with the class Monoblepharidomycetes, a lineage of zoosporic fungi historically placed in Chytridiomycota.[2] Some classifications recognise Monoblepharomycota within the early-diverging fungal subkingdom Chytridiomyceta.[3]
Description
Members of the monoblepharid lineage are zoosporic fungi. They may have simple or filamentous thalli, and some produce hypha-like structures that are considered to have evolved independently from the hyphae of higher fungi.[5] Reproduction can include motile zoospores, non-motile spores in some taxa, and sexual reproduction by oogamy.[2]
Ecology
Species associated with the group are mainly microscopic fungi found in aquatic or moist habitats. They include saprotrophic forms that decompose organic matter, as well as parasitic forms associated with algae.[5] The description of new genera such as Sanchytrium and Telasphaerula expanded the known ecological range of the monoblepharid lineage, adding algal-parasitic and rhizomycelial saprotrophic forms.[5]
Phylogeny
Molecular studies have shown that monoblepharid fungi belong among early-diverging fungal lineages. A 2007 higher-level classification treated Monoblepharidomycetes as a class within Chytridiomycota, whereas later classifications have recognised Monoblepharomycota as a phylum-level taxon.[2][3] Phylogenetic work on ribosomal DNA has also indicated that the diversity of the group is incompletely known, with environmental sequences suggesting additional undescribed lineages.[5]
