Phylogenetic relationships of termitomyces aurantiacus inferred from internal transcribed spacers DNA sequences

Fungus-growing termites cultivate species of the mutualistic basidiomycete genus Termitomyces on a substrate called the fungal comb. Identification of fungal species based on morphological features is complicated, tedious, and prone to errors. As an alternative, nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences consi...
