Fig. 1. Colonies of Paracamarosporium hawaiiense 16B647 grown for 7 days on potato dextrose agar (A) and malt extract agar (E), conidia (D, H). Colonies of Tubakia dryina (16B554) grown for 7 days on PDA (B) and MEA (F), conidiophore and conidia (I, J). Colonies of Zasmidium fructigenum (16B210) grown for 7 days on PDA (C) and MEA (G), conidiophore and conidia (K, L). (scale bars =10 μm).
Fig. 2. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on a concatenated alignment of internal transcribed spacer and large subunit sequences. Phaeosphaeria pontiformis was used as an outgroup. Numbers on branches indicate bootstrap values (1,000 replicates). Fungal strain isolated in this study is in bold.
Fig. 3. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on a concatenated alignment of internal transcribed spacer, large subunit and beta-tubulin sequences. Xylaria hypoxylon was used as an outgroup. Numbers on branches indicate bootstrap values (1,000 replicates). Fungal strain isolated in this study is in bold.
