2.3.9 Nigrogranaceae

Nigrogranaceae was introduced by Jaklitsch and Voglmayr (2016) for the genus Nigrograna and two novel species Ni. hydei and Ni. obtusispora, based on phylogenetic analyses of a combined ITS-TEF1α sequence dataset. The genus includes two marine species: Ni. samueliana on decaying wood of Avicennia marina, and Ni. rhizophorae, on submerged propagule of Rhizophora sp. They are recorded for the first time from mangrove habitats (Hyde et al. 2020b)
