Jobellisia

Jobellisia es un género de hongos perteneciente a la familia monotípica Jobellisiaceae y al orden monotípico Jobellisiales , así como a la subclase Hypocreomycetidae y a la clase Sordariomycetes . ^{[ 1 ]} El género fue circunscrito por Margaret Elizabeth Barr-Bigelow en 1993 con Jobellisia luteola como especie tipo . Contiene especies que crecen sobre madera muerta y corteza en regiones tropicales y templadas del hemisferio norte . ^{[ 2 ]}

Barr clasificó originalmente a Jobellisia en la familia Clypeosphaeriaceae del orden Xylariales , con dos nuevas especies: Jobellisia luteola (la especie tipo) y Jobellisia nicaraguensis . ^{[ 2 ]} Posteriormente, estudios filogenéticos demostraron que Jobellisia luteola y Jobellisia fraterna formaban un clado hermano del orden Diaporthales . ^{[ 3 ]} En 2008, Martina Réblová erigió un nuevo género, Bellojisia (un anagrama de Jobellisia ), para incluir lo que entonces se denominaba Jobellisia rhynchostoma , y ​​creó la familia Jobiellaceae para las especies restantes de Jobellisia . Basándose en datos de secuencias LSU , demostró que Jobiellaceae ocupa una posición basal en un clado que contiene a Calosphaeriales y Diaporthales , en Sordariomycetes incertae sedis . ^{[ 4 ]}

Using phylogenetic analysis, Maharachchikumbura et al. (2015) introduced the new order of Jobellisiales to accommodate this family,^[5] which was also accepted by Maharachchikumbura et al. (in 2016b).^[6] With the use of molecular clock evidence, Jobellisiales fell in the ordinal time frame (146 MYA) (Hyde et al. 2017a).^[7] However, Hongsanan et al. (in 2017) stated that the placement of this order is unstable as sometimes it clustered with Pleurostomataceae.^[8][9] It was still accepted in 2022 by Wijayawardene et al.^[1]

Sequences of three species of Jobellisia are available in GenBank (Jobellisia fraterna, Jobellisia guangdongensis and Jobellisia luteola), and have been used in phylogenetic analyses (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015,^[5] 2016b,^[6] Hongsanan et al. 2017,^[8]).^[9]

Sexual morph: Ascomata perithecial, basally immersed to superficial, astromatic, globose to subglobose, lageniform (shaped like a flask) to obpyriform (shape that is in outline like that of a pear), brown to black or yellowish, glabrous or slightly rugose, with a papilla or with upright neck. Peridium three-layered, comprising cells of textura angularis or textura prismatica or textura intricata, some with an orange, middle wall layer. Paraphyses numerous, septate. Asci 8-spored, unitunicate, cylindrical to clavate, short pedicellate, with a J−, distinct, refractive, apical ring. Ascospores uniseriate or overlapping uniseriate, oblong to ellipsoidal, fusoid to fusiform, straight or slightly curved, reddish-brown or greenish-brown to brown, darker at the median septum, 1-septate, with germ pores at one or both ends. Asexual morph: Undetermined (adapted from Réblová 2008 and Maharachchikumbura et al.).^[4][9][6]

It has a scattered distribution, found in America (within North, Central and South), parts of Europe, parts of Africa and parts of eastern Asia.^[10]
