The aim of the present study was a revised taxonomy of the MCC using a polyphasic approach. Using a set of 100 strains molecular phylogenetic analysis\n of five markers (ITS,\n                    <jats:italic>rpb1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>tsr1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>mcm7<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>cfs<\/jats:italic>\n                    , introduced here) were performed, combined with phenotypic studies, mating tests and the determination of the maximum growth temperatures. The multi-locus analyses revealed 16 phylogenetic species of which 14 showed\n distinct phenotypical traits and were recognised as discrete species. Five of these species are introduced as novel taxa:\n                    <jats:italic>M. amethystinus<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. nov.,\n                    <jats:italic>M. atramentarius<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. nov.,\n                    <jats:italic>M. variicolumellatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. nov.,\n                    <jats:italic>M. pseudocircinelloides<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. nov., and\n                    <jats:italic>M. pseudolusitanicus<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. nov.

In the MCC, the simple presence of well-shaped zygospores only indicates a close relation of both strains, but not necessarily conspecificity. Seven species of the MCC have been implemented in human\n infection:\n                    <jats:italic>M. circinelloides<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>M. griseocyanus, M. janssenii, M. lusitanicus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>M. ramosissimus, M. variicolumellatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>M. velutinosus<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3767\/persoonia.2020.44.03","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,29]],"date-time":"2019-08-29T21:06:08Z","timestamp":1567112768000},"page":"67-97","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":90,"title":["A new species concept for the clinically relevant\n                    <i>Mucor circinelloides<\/i>\n                    complex"],"prefix":"10.3114","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"L.","family":"Wagner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.B.","family":"Stielow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.S.","family":"de Hoog","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Bensch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.U.","family":"Schwartze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Voigt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Alastruey-Izquierdo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"O.","family":"Kurzai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Walther","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1645","container-title":["Persoonia - Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Fungi"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/wfbi\/pimj\/2020\/00000044\/00000001\/art00003","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,18]],"date-time":"2025-06-18T00:53:35Z","timestamp":1750208015000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/10.3767\/persoonia.2020.44.03"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,29]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,29]]}},"alternative-id":["0031-5850(20200629)44:1L.67;1-"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3767\/persoonia.2020.44.03","relation":{},"ISSN":["0031-5850"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0031-5850","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,29]]}}}
