Diversity of BACKUSELLA (MUCOROMYCOTINA) in South-Eastern Australia revealed through polyphasic taxonomy.
While there is a growing appreciation of the enormous diversity within the fungal kingdom, the identification and characterization of species in certain lineages remains limited. This includes species in the basal family Mucorales. Such species have known impacts to both humans and natural ecosystems. The aim of this study is to explore the diversity of one easily distinguishable genus, Backusella, in south eastern Australia.
