Three Fusarium species discovered in πΏπ¦ Eastern Cape dairy pastures reveal potential implications for cattle health.
One species was named Fusarium mariecurieae to honour Marie Curie and recognise support from the @MSCActions project @mycobiomics.

4/n Additionally, we provided the first formal description of #Fusarium goeppertmayerae, since the original authors had not included one. Two more species remain undescribed due to poor morphological development in culture. π€ @mycokeys @Fabiteam1 @mycobiomics

3/n We formally described them as:
π¬ Fusarium cumulatum (Equiseti clade) β named for its abundant chlamydospore formation
πΏ Fusarium pascuum (Camptoceras clade) β from Latin pascuum (pasture)

2/n We surveyed fungal diversity in mixed pastures on Eastern Cape π farms πΏπ¦ & isolated 155 #Fusarium strains from the Fusarium incarnatum-equiseti species complex. Using single & multigene phylogenies (TEF, CaM, RPB2), we identified 11 #Fusarium species, 3 of which are novel!

1/n π₯We named a newly discovered #fungal species, #Fusarium mariecurieae, in honor of #MarieCurie (1867β1934) and in recognition of support from the @MSCActions grant @mycobiomics Naming a species is a taxonomistβs β€οΈ language.

FARMER'S INSIDE TRACK: With agriculture always lurking somewhere in her thoughts, it's no wonder that research analyst Shivan Bezuidenhout eventually gave into the mesmerising appeal of a job she regards as meaningful.
