Abstract excerpt
Earlier molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA (nSSU rDNA) suggest that the Zygomycota are polyphyletic within the Chytridiomycota. However, these analyses failed to resolve almost all interordinal relationships among basal fungi (Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota), due to lack of sufficient characters within the nSSU rDNA. To further elucidate the higher-level phylogeny of...
