Importance and distribution

Quian et al. (2023) reported a strain Tubeufia rubra produces Rubracin D and E which reverse multidrug resistance in cancer cell.

 

There are 88 Tubeufia epithets in Index Fungorum (2022), but several species have been transferred to Acanthohelicospora, Acanthostigmella, Acanthostigmina, Chaetosphaerulina, Helicoma, Herpotrichia, Lichenotubeufia, Neohelicosporium, Ophionectria, Podonectria, Pseudohelicomyces, Puttemansia, Taphrophila and Thaxteriella. Tubeufia comprises 12 species known on Betula sp. (Betulaceae), Calamus comptus (Arecaceae), Carpinus betulus (Betulaceae), Cistus sp. (Cistaceae), Corylus sp. (Betulaceae), Diatrype sp. (Diatrypaceae), Eutypa maura (Diatrypaceae), Fagus sp. (Fagaceae), Fraxinus sp. (Oleaceae), Nothofagus antarctica (Nothofagaceae), Quercus sp. (Fagaceae) amongst others. Tubeufia is reported from Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Brunei Darussalam, China, Indonesia, Thailand), Europe (Czech Republic, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden), Oceania (New Zealand) and The United States (Argentina, Ecuador).
