2.3.1 Amorosiaceae

Amorosiaceae ( Pleosporales ) was introduced by Thambugala and Hyde (in Thambugala et al. 2015) for the monotypic hyphomycete genus Amorosia (type species A. littorali ) isolated from intertidal sediment, associated with Rhizophora , in the Bahamas ( Mantle et al. 2006). Conidia are solitary, dry, lateral, elongate-clavate, pale brown to brown, 1 – 3-septate, 3 – 4-septate when mature, constricted at the septa, smooth-walled, and are lacking any mucilaginous sheath or appendages. Previously assigned to Sporomiaceae, Thambugala et al. (2015), in a multi-gene phylogenetic analysis, showed it grouped with Angustimassarina in a well-supported clade, in between a clade comprising Decaisnella formosa , Thyridaria macrostomoides and a new genus, Lignosphaeria and Sporormiaceae . They therefore introduced a new family for the two genera Amorosia and Angustimassarina . It is the source of three new chlorinated compounds: two propenylphenol derivatives, chlorophenol A and B (1 and 2), and one benzofuran derivative, chlorophenol C (3) and other compounds ( Ren et al. 2022).
