Unemaeeaceae Tedersoo fam. nov.

Type genus.

Unemaeea Tedersoo.

Description.

Covers the monophyletic group in Unemaeeales (Fig. 2 ). Phylogenetically delimited as the least inclusive clade covering sequence accessions EUK 1630871 and EUK 1635889 (Suppl. material 3).

Notes.

Recognised based on eDNA sequences only. Currently includes Unemaeea and multiple poorly alignable ITS sequences with no LSU, for example EUK 1217297 (FunAqua sample W 0006 s, lake sediment in Petrolandia, Brazil, - 8.9908 ° N, - 38.2251 ° E) and FJ 528738 ( Araucaria spp. plantation soil, Gadgarra, Australia, - 17.1641 ° N, 145.6469 ° E) that was isolated by Nathalie J. A. Curlevski ( Curlevski et al. 2010). It seems that several Unemaeeaceae spp. have preferential habitat in anoxic soils and sediments.

Figure 2. Phylogenetic position of genera and genus-level groups of Endogonomycetes based on Maximum Likelihood analysis of SSU- 5.8 S-LSU sequences. The clades are collapsed, with the number of sequences included in parentheses. Question marks above branches indicate low ultra-rapid bootstrap support (< 95). Orders are highlighted in different colours. The uncollapsed phylogram is given in Suppl. material 3.
