5 Aspergillus Currently, 4 subgenera and 19 sections are accepted in Aspergillus. This subdivision was revised and supported by morphological features and phylogenetic data.

6 Key topics Background: ICN and phylogenetic approach for single nomenclature Two proposals for Aspergillus

7 ICN and Phylogeny approach International Code of Botanical Nomenclature adopted by the Melbourne Congress, July 2011 resulting in a new code named: 100 A. niger CBS T (AY583536) A. lacticoffeatus CBS T (AY819998) A. brasiliensis CBS T (AY820006) 100 A. foetidus CBS (AY585534) A. costaricaensis CBS T (AY820014) 97 A. tubingensis CBS T (AY820007) 100 A. vadensis CBS T (AY585531) 100 A. carbonarius CBS T (AY585532) 98 A. sclerotioniger CBS T (AY819996) 100 A. ibericus IMI T (AM419748) A. ellipticus CBS NT (AY585530) A. heteromorphus CBS (AY585529) A. uvarum IMI (AM745753) 100 A. uvarum IMI (AM745752) 93 A. uvarum IMI T (AM745751) 95 A. uvarum IMI (AM745750) 100 A. aculeatus CBS (AY585539) A. aculeatus CBS T (AY585540) 99 A. aculeatus CBS (AY585538) 100 A. japonicus CBS T (AY585542) A. homomorphus CBS T (AY820015) A. flavus CBS T (AY819992) International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants Concept of dual nomenclature is deleted and anamorph have the same priority of teleomorph names (Norvell, 2011). One Fungus One Name: all morphs belonging to one fungus. If anamorph genus represents the oldest valid and legitimate name, and it is the most widely used and preferred, then this name can be applied for all morphs (Braun, 2012; Norvell, 2011). Then Aspergillus and Penicillium would have priority over their competing teleomorphs. ICPA in 2012 was unanimously in the use of the name Penicillium. Although the majority of ICPA voted for the use of Aspergillus this decision was objected by Pitt & Taylor Phylogeny has been widely used to choose the right name for large groups of fungi through the identification of monophyletic clades Metarhizium gene - Kepler et al Glomeromycota taxa in mycorrhizal fungi - Redecker et al Curvularia and Bipolaris Magnaporthaceae taxa Zhang et al. 2013

8 Two proposal for Aspergillus 1 Aspergillus is a monophyletic group proposal n 5 of ICPA members April 14, 2012 Houbraken and Samson Phylogeny of Penicillium and the segregation of Trichocomaceae into three families.

17 Key topics New multilocus sequences analysis Six genes analysis Nine genes analysis

18 Two different multilocus phylogenetic sequences analyses With the aim to untangle the monophyly vs non-monophyly discussion, we adopted two independent approaches to try to resolve definitely the phylogenetic incongruence of the previous studies: 1) Preliminary analysis with six loci phylogeny study on the coding regions of RPB1, RPB2, Cct8, Tsr1, BenA, Cam on 96 species (the same used by previous authors) 2) Extended analysis performed a nine loci phylogeny study on the coding regions of 18S rrna, 5.8S rrna, 28S rrna (D1-D2), RPB1, RPB2, CaM, BenA, Tsr1 and Cct8 on 204 species

19 Methods used in the Six genes analysis Same set of taxa of the previous studies (96 isolates), but only the CDS sequences were retrieved from database. Algorithm MUSCLE and ClustalW: multi-align sequences Transitive Consistence Score (Chang et al. 2015) Models RogueNaRock: an Efficient and Exact Algorithm rogue taxa search and goodness of MSA (Aberer et al. 2013) JModelTest: best-fit model of nucleotide substitution (Darriba et al. 2012) PartitionFinder: partitioning schemes and substitution models (Lanfear et al. 2012) Phylogenetic Inference model used MrBayes: Bayesian Inference (Cipres, simba) (Ronquist et al. 2012) RAxML: Maximum Likelyhood (Cipres, raxmlgui) (Stamakis et al. 2014) IQ-Tree: Ultra Fast Maximum Likelyhood (partitioning schemes, substitution models, confidence of trees)- (Nguyen et al. 2015)

23 Phylogeny inferred from nine loci : 18S rrna, 5,8S rrna, 28S rrna (D1-D2), RPB1, RPB2, CaM, BenA, Tsr1 and Cct8 The dataset containing sequences from 204 strains was partitioned according to loci. Algorithm Methods used in the Nine genes analysis Multiple Sequence Alignments by PRANK v (Loytynoja 2014) Models Gaps of the highly variable region of the TSr1 gene were coded by 2matrix and added to the analysis by using SequenceMatrix 1.8 (Vaidya et al., 2010) JModelTest: best-fit model of nucleotide substitution (Darriba et al. 2012) Phylogenetic Inference model used MrBayes: Bayesian Inference (Cipres, simba) (Ronquist et al. 2012) RAxML: Maximum Likelyhood (Cipres, raxmlgui) (Stamakis et al. 2014)) IQ-Tree: Ultra Fast Maximum Likelyhood (partitioning schemes, substitution models, confidence of trees)- (Nguyen et al. 2015)

27 Branch support analysis The branch supports of the principal nodes of six and nine-genes phylogeny for the monophyletic topology were evaluated. Three categories of branch support were considered: parametric (Bpp, alrt-chi2, 200 abayes) nonparametric (Rbs, SH-aLRT) hybrid (Ibs) (Anisimova et al. 2011, Minh et al. 2013) Confidence of trees: Tree-Puzzle - Consel The best trees obtained with the respective shafts consent of each analysis, and a forced tree with the paraphyletic topology were compared. Tree-Puzzle calculated respective Log / Likelihood and statistical analysis of KH, SH and ELW, Consel was used to statistically calculate KH, SH, WKH, WSH and AU parameter (Schmidt et al. 2009)

28 Collapsed phylograms showing the support values of the principal nodes involved in the monophyly of Aspergillus based on six (A) and nine (B) genes. The tables are summarizing the values of these nodes obtained by different methods.

30 Extrolites profile of Aspergillus genus At least xanthocillins, terphenyllins and emodin are in common within all the subgenera of the genus

31 Key topics Conclusions

32 Conclusions The results of these efforts lead to the inference of good supported trees and clearly showing the monophyly of the genus Aspergillus (sub.: Circumdati, Nidulantes, Fumigati, Aspergillus, and two new subgenera were described: subgen. nov Cremei subgen nov Polypaecilum Both conducted statistical analyses reject the hypothesis that Aspergilli are nonmonophyletic There is no phylogenetic evidence supporting the splitting of Aspergillus genus Recently the hypothesis of paraphyly by Pitt and Taylor was rejected General Committee of Nomenclature (TAXON December 2017)
