Hyde, Ning Zhang, Teun Boekhout, ICTF Yeast Working Group, Tom W. May, Marco Thines, David L. Hawksworth

“…Abstract The debates over the requirement of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICNafp) for a viable specimen to represent the name-bearing type material for a species or infraspecific taxon have a long history. Taxonomy of fungi commonly studied as living cultures exemplified by yeasts and moulds, strongly depend on viable reference material. …”

In Silico Exploration of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome <i>mec</i> (SCC<i>mec</i>) Evolution Based on Phylogenetic Relationship of <i>ccrAB/C</i> by Huawei Wang, Jinxing He

“…This work established the basic taxonomy of 33 staphylococci species. The CUB of <i>mecA</i>, <i>ccrAB/C</i> of 12 SCC<i>mec</i> types and core genome of 33 staphylococci species were subsequently compared; the phylogenetic relationship of <i>ccrAB/C</i> was observed via SCC<i>mec</i> typing on a temporal and geographical scale; and the duplicate appearance of <i>ccrAB/C</i> was illustrated by comparing SCC<i>mec</i> compositions. …”

The complete chloroplast genome sequences of monotypic genus Pseudogalium, and comparative analyses with its relative genera by Wei Yu, Xiao-Juan Li, Zhen Lv, Li-E Yang, De-Li Peng

“…Conclusions The complete chloroplast genomes of P. paradoxum were first reported in this study, which provided a new insight into phylogeny and taxonomy of this genus. Phylogenetic analyses strongly supported the following proposals: (1) P. paradoxum can be isolated as a genus closely related to Galium; (2) P. paradoxum subsp. paradoxum and P. paradoxum subsp. duthiei form distinct clades, both of which can be considered as subspecies of P. paradoxum.…”
