Neurospora metzenbergii is an outbreeding heterothallic haploid fungus previously designated PS2. N. metzenbergii is morphologically indistinguishable from other heterothallic outbreeding species of Neurospora, but individuals can be assigned to N. metzenbergii using the phylogenetic species recognition concept and these four loci: DMG, QMA, TMI, and TML (Dettman et al 2003a). Diagnostic nucleotide characters that are fixed among the known individuals include the TMI locus nucleotide positions 315 (G), 396 (A); TML locus nucleotide positions 393 (G), 456 (T), 458 (G); QMA locus nucleotide positions 124 (A), 135 (A), 146 (A), 219 (A), 318 (A), 357 (T).
