Morphological plasticity in Cladosporium sphaerospermum.

摘要: A morphologically distinct isolate of Cladosporium sphaerospermum from a North American patent collec­ tion, referenced as lignicola in the patent, was examined. Generic affinity confirmed by scanning electron microscopic examination conidiogenous loci and conidial hila. Species identity C. indicated DNA sequence data derived actin translation elongation factor 1­α genes, internal transcribed spacer region. The broadens morphological limits production obclavate, occasionally transversely septate conidia with subrostrate apices ('alternarioid' conidia), larger than those prior standard descriptions. Type material re­ examined compared fungus, which it is distinct. decision to reduce synonymy under herbarum confirmed.
