Coniochaeta Xinjiangensis

The ''Coniochaeta'' are a genus of pleomorphism (microbiology), pleomorphic yeasts of the order ''Coniochaetales'' and are pathogens of trees. Some species have also been found to form Endophyte, endophytic associations within plants in which they live inside plant tissues but do not actually harm the organism. They can take the form of pink to brown colony (biology), colonies, hyphae, conidiophores or sclerotium, sclerotia. In 2013, the ''Lecythophora'' were merged with the ''Coniochaeta'', following suggestions by Ziauddin Khan ''et al''.

Ecology

The ''Coniochaeta'' have been described as typically associated with wood, water, and soil. However, there is also growing evidence of specialised associations between each species and specific environments, and a suggestion that 4-spored and 8-spored species interact differently with their environments, some species surviving Wildfire, forest fires, which activate their sexual cycle.''Coniochaeta extramundana'', with a Synopsis of Other ''Coniochaeta'' Species.

Medical Issues

Other members of the ''Coniochaeta,'' most commonly ''Coniochaeta polymorpha'', can cause clinical infections in immunocompromised individuals, which has increased recent interest in the genus.
