Rozellida

edit

The name Rozellida has been previously given to this clade; environmental DNA sequences of members of the clade were known by 2009 at the latest. Lavateraguy (talk) 07:25, 12 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I disagree; see this article for why:

"The only previously known fungus that the team found to fall within the new group is the genus Rozella — long thought to be an oddity because of its lack of a chitinous cell wall — which diverged from the rest of the fungi very early on. "We thought that the Rozella branch of fungus was just a twig that had hung on over the course of evolution," says James, "but this paper shows us it's part of a whole evolutionary bush."

Also see the current Wikipedia article Rozella.

But let's look for more sources, and discuss this issue further. RK (talk) 15:51, 12 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Have you looked at the Lara et al paper? That has a cladogram showing a diverse group of organisms, including Rozella, forming a clade forming the sister group to (other) Fungi, with Nucleariida as the next sister group. What the Nature paper (paywalled) is described as presenting is a diverse group of organisms, including Rozella, and a type newly isolated from a Devon pond, forming a clade forming the sister group to (other) Fungi. Those seem to be equivalent definitions. Lavateraguy (talk) 17:00, 12 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

It would seem that Cryptomycota over Rozellida has been argued as the accepted term: http://www.imafungus.org/Issue/4/18.pdf- Igniococcus

2025 Update

edit

by the same team as Outline 2024, focused on the non-Dikarya fungi, raised some of the orders or genera incertae sedis, based on the new phylogenetic tree; against the taxobox there are two new classes: Rozellidea (most basal) and Chytridiopsea, and new orders: Paramicrosporidiales, Morellosporales (Mitosporidium + Morellospora) and Nucleophagales.[a 1]

There are several other differences in the resulting phylogenetic tree (fig. 2) against that in the article, but it should be mentioned that Rozellomycota is a poorly represented group considering the genome sequencing data, so I think there is no need to hurry with updating (the main clades labeled as nodes 0, 1, 2 were recovered). Notice e.g. the different branching sequence of Paramicrosporidiales (more basal in the new phylogeny) and Morellosporales. Notice also, that genus Nematocida (former member of microsporidean order Ovavesiculida) seems to be a separate line, branching earlier than Amblyosporida. ---
