Popis: A new species of soil fungi, described herein asApophysomycesthailandensis, was isolated from soil in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Morphologically, this species was distinguished from previously describedApophysomycesspecies by its narrower trapezoidal sporangiospores. A physiological determination showed thatA.thailandensisdiffers from otherApophysomycesspecies by its assimilation of D-turanose, D-tagatose, D-fucose, L-fucose, and nitrite. A phylogenetic analysis, performed using combined internal transcribed spacers (ITS), the large subunit (LSU) of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) regions, and a part of the histone 3 (H3) gene, lends support to our the finding thatA.thailandensisis distinct from otherApophysomycesspecies. The genetic distance analysis of the ITS sequence supportsA.thailandensisas a new fungal species. A full description, illustrations, phylogenetic tree, and taxonomic key to the new species are provided. Its metal minerals solubilization ability is reported.
