Cladosporium is a monophyletic genus in Cladosporiaceae (Cladosporiales, Dothideomycetes) whose species are mainly found as saprobes and endophytes, but it also includes fungi pathogenic for plants, animals and human. Species identification is currently based on three genetic markers, viz., the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) of the rDNA, and partial fragments of actin (act) and the translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1) genes. Using this phylogenetic approach and from morphological differences, we have recognized six new species originating from soil, herbivore dung and plant material collected at different Spanish locations. They are proposed as Cladosporium caprifimosum, C. coprophilum, C. fuscoviride and C. lentulum belonging in the C. cladosporioides species complex, and C. pseudotenellum and C. submersum belonging in the C. herbarum species complex. This study revealed that herbivore dung represented a reservoir of novel lineages in the genus Cladosporium.

西班牙环境资源中新发现的枝孢菌

枝孢属（Cladosporium）是枝孢菌科（Cladosporiales，Dothideomycetes）的单种属，其种类主要为腐生菌和内生菌，但它还包括对植物，动物和人类致病的真菌。物种鉴定目前基于三个遗传标记，即rDNA的内部转录间隔区（ITS），肌动蛋白（act）和翻译延伸因子1-α（tef1）基因的部分片段。使用这种系统发育方法并从形态差异出发，我们已经识别出六个新物种，这些新物种起源于在西班牙不同地点收集的土壤，草食动物粪便和植物材料。他们被提议为属于C. cladosporioides物种复合体的C.角腐霉，C。coprophilum，C。fuscoviride和C. lentulum，以及C.的C. pseudotenellum和C. submersum。植物标本室物种复杂。这项研究表明，草食性粪便代表了Cladosporium属中新的血统库。
