Biodiversity and chemotaxonomy of Preussia isolates from the Iberian Peninsula

This work documents 32 new Preussia isolates from the Iberian Peninsula, including endophytic and saprobic strains. The morphological study of the teleomorphs and anamorphs was combined with a molecular phylogenetic analysis based on sequences of the ribosomal rDNA gene cluster and chemotaxonomic studies based on liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray mass spectrometry. Sixteen natural compounds were identified. On the basis of combined analyses, 11 chemotypes are inferred.
