2.3.13 Saccotheciaceae

Jones et al. (2019) referred Aureobasidium pullulans (collected in the marine environment) to the family Dothioraceae , while Thambugala et al. (2014) included it in the new family Aureobasidiaceae , a family already introduced by Ciferri (1958). However, an earlier name for Aureobasidiaceae is Saccotheciaceae , established by Bonorden (1864) to accommodate Saccothecium , and is considered as a distinct family in Dothidelaes. Saccotheciaceae can be distinguished from Dothideaceae by immersed to erumpent, uniloculate ascostromata and aseptate to multi-septate, hyaline ascospores ( Hongsanan et al. 2020a). Currently seven genera are accepted in Saccotheciaceae with three marine species: Aureobasidium leucospermi , A. pullulans , and A. melanogenum .
