Colletotrichum fructicola Prihast., L. Cai & K.D. Hyde, 2009

Culture characteristics.

Colonies on PDA (Figure 2, PE84, 88), superficial, white to olivaceous in the beginning and later become olivaceous to dark-olivaceous, circular, entire edge, smooth, dense and raised on surface media; reverse dark-olivaceous. Sporulating in culture after 1 month.

GenBank numbers.

MFLUCC 17-0613 ITS=MG646968, β-tubulin =MG646927, GAPDH=MG646932, CHS-1=MG646937, ACT=MG646939. MFLUCC 17-0555 ITS=MG646969, β-tubulin =MG646928, GADPH=MG646933, CHS-1=MG646936, ACT=MG646944.

Notes.

The gloeosporioides species complex is mainly plant pathogens ( Weir et al. 2012) and some species are endophytes ( Liu et al. 2015). Colletotrichum fructicola has a wide host range ( Weir et al. 2012) and was originally reported from coffee berries in Thailand ( Prihastuti et al. 2009). In this study, the authors followed Jayawardena et al. (2016) and identify the collection as Colletotrichum fructicola which was isolated from a Pandanaceae host. Based on phylogenetic analysis, this taxon grouped with Colletotrichum fructicola with 90 % in ML and 1.00 in PP. The ITS, β-tubulin, GAPDH, CHS-1 and ACT DNA nucleotide comparison showed that the taxon and other strains of Colletotrichum fructicola Prihast., L. Cai & K.D. Hyde have 100% similarity.
