Buwchfawromyces Callaghan, Tony & G.W. Griff. gen. nov.

Note.

Strictly anaerobic fungus with determinate, monocentric thallus with single, spherical to ovoid terminal sporangium (often with swollen sporangiophore) and forming uniflagellate zoospores. The clade is defined by the sequences EU414755 and EU414756 (ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2 complete), and also KP205570 (LSU, partial sequence). The most genetically similar genus is Anaeromyces , which is defined as forming a polycentric thallus ( Breton et al. 1990. FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 58, p.177), in contrast to the monocentric Buwchfawromyces .
