Abstract

The phylogeny of the Dothideomycetes was investigated using nucleotide sequences of SSU and LSU rDNA. New sequences of these regions from 18 species were aligned to the sequences of Aureobasidium xx obtained from Genbank and those of two representatives of Pezizomycetes used as outgroup. A combined data set of SSU and LSU rDNA was analysed using minimum evolution and maximum likelihood. The pseudoparaphysate taxa (Pleosporales incl. Melanommatales) form a monophyletic group. A separation of Melanommatales can be rejected using parametric bootstrapping and this supports previous results obtained from SSU rDNA studies. The aparaphysate loculoascomycetes form a sister-group to the Pleosporales, but this grouping has no bootstrap support. Within the aparaphysate species, two well-supported groups can be distinguished, the Dothideales s.str. and the Capnodiales with Myriangiales. The Myriangiales appear paraphyletic, but this has only poor bootstrap support. A monophyly of Dothideales incl. Capnodiales can be rejected with parametric bootstrapping, as well as a subdivision of the loculoascomycetes based on form and opening of the ascomata and ascus. The phylogeny of the aparaphysate taxa requires further studies.
