Abstract

During studies on Mucorales in semiarid and littoral dune areas in the northeast of Brazil, two cultures of an Absidia-like species were isolated from soil. Characterization based on morphological, physiological and molecular data (5.8S and LSU rDNA sequences) was carried out. The phylogenetic analyses of the isolates revealed that they belong to the Lichtheimiaceae and are closely related to species of Lichtheimia. The two isolates produced simple or branched, erect and circinate sporophores, occasionally with a septum under sporangia, characteristics also common in Lichtheimia species. However, different from the described Lichtheimia species, the columellae of our isolates were mainly short hemispherical, never spatulate or elliptical and with no projections. Sometimes, a long conical or bell shaped apophysis was found. Both isolates grew better at 30-35ºC, with no development at 42ºC, and giant cells were not observed. Based on the evidences of the analyzed datasets a new species of Lichtheimia is proposed.
