摘要

Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) areas present a high number of endemic and unknown species and consequently have been included among the world's biodiversity hotspots. After a survey of zygomycetes from Cerrado areas of the "Reserva Biolgica de Mogi Gua double dagger u" (RBMG) in So Paulo State, we have found a Mucor-like fungus that produces very large sporangiospores and clusters of giant cells visible to the naked-eye. This isolate was characterized morphologically, based on partial LSU (28S) and complete ITS rDNA sequences. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses support its inclusion within the recently emended genus Backusella.
