Genus of fungi
Paecilomyces is a
genus of
fungi . A number of species in this genus are
plant pathogens .
Several of the
entomopathogenic species, such as "
Paecilomyces fumosoroseus " have now been placed in the genus
Isaria , in the order
Hypocreales and family
Cordycipitaceae .
[2]
In 1974, R.A. Samson transferred the
nematicidal species Paecilomyces lilacinus to this genus.
[3] However, publications in the 2000s (decade) indicated that the genus Paecilomyces was not
monophyletic ,
[4] and the new genus
Purpureocillium was created to hold the taxon which includes P. lilacinum : with both parts of the name referring to the purple
conidia produced by the fungus.
[5]
Species
Traditionally, Paecilomyces held strictly asexual species
[6] and later housed numerous
anamorphic forms of fungi with their
teleomorph described to a separate genus. From 41 described species in 2000
[7] and over 100 known combinations in this genus, the amount of species in Paecilomyces reduced to 10 described species in 2020 following the adaptation of the "one fungus one name" rule.
