Initially considered monophyletic the genus Alatospora was described to have 4 species. So far, the systematics of the genus has been established on the basis of morphological data. Our study focused on additional molecular phylogenetic analyses of the genus Alatospora to achieve more clarity about observed differences in conidial morphology. The study included 41 viable strains and 37 old DNA extracts. Six (ITS,B-tub, ACT, LSU, MCM7 and TEF1) gene regions were amplified and tested to find markers with sufficient phylogenetic resolution. All DNA gene region except TEF1 proved to provide support for phylogeny. ClustalW ARB was used to align the sequences and RaxmlGUI was used to calculate phylogenetic trees.
The analysis resulted in the genus being polyphyletic with 10 clades which further splits in to subclades. The clades depict the presence of more than 4 species initially described. Genealogical Concordance Phylogenetic Species Recognition (GCPSR) within PSR was used with defining the species in terms of genetics from independence gene region. Species are defined as the strains grouping together with the consistent support of multiple gene region
Alatospora is one of the ubiquitous fresh water fungi that has ecological presence all over the globe and is reportedly isolated from every continent, that is why the classification is very important, specifically from the ecological point of view. Current studies include clade wise phylogenomics which will give more insight into the speciation data of the genus Alatospora.
