Two new species of Capnobotryella from historical monuments

In this paper, two new species of Capnobotryella, melanized fungi with meristematic development, are described. On the basis of small subunit and internal transcribed sequence regions of ribosomal DNA sequencing, both of the new species are accommodated in the genus Capnobotryella: C. erdogani and C. kiziroglui. The type cultures of the taxa are in the ACBR culture collection (MA 4625, EMBL Accession Number: AJ972857.1; MA 4899, EMBL Accession Number: AJ972859.1).
