Taxonomy and Biodiversity of the Genus Chaetomium in Different Habitats

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

Since Gustav Kunze described and published genus Chaetomium in Mykologische Hefte (Leipzig) in 1817, the genus attracted an immense interest worldwide. Chaetomium is a diverse genus occurring worldwide; species from this genus are capable of colonizing various biotopes, such as soils, marine, animal dung, hair, textiles, plant tissues, seeds, and other substrates rich in cellulose. Chaetomium species are the largest genus of saprophytic ascomycetes, which belongs to the Chaetomiaceae family. The taxonomy of Chaetomium has been studied by several authors. Since the establishment of the genus, more than 400 species have been described, many of which were synonymized/excluded, and only 273 Chaetomium species were accepted according to Index Fungorum Partnership (IFP 2019). Due to the diversity of species and of inhabiting environments, Chaetomium spp. might conceive diverse biosynthetic gene clusters, which transform into various secondary metabolites (the fungi languages) to adapt to different ecological environments. Until now, more than 200 compounds with a wide range of bioactive effects have been isolated from Chaetomium spp., but compared with its richness of species, more bioactive secondary metabolites might be found in this member of fungi. Therefore, together with its ubiquitous nature, these species have great significant impacts on ecosystems, agriculture, food production, biotechnology, and human and animal health. The goal of this chapter is to represent the biodiversity of genus Chaetomium in a wide range of environmental habitats including deserts, salterns, agricultural, mangrove, living plants and animals, air, decayed wood, stones, and human. It is intended, in this chapter, to report on the accepted Chaetomium species and to propose a provisional key to their identification.
