During the screening of Korean microflora, a fungal strain (KNU-PT-1804) belonging to the genus Pestalotiopsis was isolated from persimmon tree (Diospyros kaki) bark collected from North Gyeongsang Province, Korea. The strain, KNU-PT-1804, produced smaller conidia compared with related species P. kenyana, P. neglecta, and P. telopeae. The novelty of the strain was confirmed based on phylogenetic analysis using molecular datasets of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, β-tubulin (TUB2), and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1α) genes. Molecular phylogeny strongly supports that the strain is distinct from previously known Pestalotiopsis species, and we proposed the novel species, Pestalotiopsis kaki sp. nov., and provide a detailed description and illustration.

영월과 진천의 2지역에서 잣나무로부터 내생균의 다양성을 조사하였다. 총 113개의 내생균을 분리하여 rDNA ITS 부위의 염기서열 분석으로 균을 동정하였다. 염기서열 분석결과 Pestalotiopsis sp.가 2지역에서 가장 높은 빈도로 분리되었다. 영월에서는 Pestalotiopsis sp. 68.5%, Lambertella sp. 12.4%로 분리되었으며, 진천에서는 Pestalotiopsis sp. 41.7%, Hypoxylon sp. 20.8%, 그리고 Phomopsis sp.가 12.4% 분리되었다. Hypoxylon sp.와 Phomopsis sp.는 영월에서 분리되지 않았다.

In this study, we calculated the genetic relationships of Pestalotiopsis species collected from various places in southern part of Korea through isozyme analyses. As a result, EST showed the largest number of band, and the number of bands were ranged from 5 to 7 on the average. All the isozymes used in this study showed distinctive band patterns for each isolates. Similarities among the compared isolates ranged from 48 to 93%. Isolates SP7, SP19 and SP23 showed more than 90% similarities, and most isolates showed similarities ranging from 65 to 82%.

Two fungal strains, designated KNUF-21-006 and KNUF-21-028, were isolated from soil samples collected from Gyeongbuk Province, Korea. The strain KNUF-21-006 was similar to other Pestalotiopsis species in terms of morphological characteristics, including whitish to pale brown mycelium, conidial shape, and size. The isolate had aerial hyphae that produced black fruiting bodies on the mycelium. The conidia were fusoid to ellipsoid, four-septate, and appendage-bearing. Phylogenetic analysis using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF), and β-tubulin (TUB) gene sequences confirmed that the closest relationship of the isolate at the species level was with Pestalotiopsis clavata. The strain KNUF-21-028 exhibits similar morphological characteristics to other Botryotrichum species, including white aerial mycelium with sulcate and irregular margins, conidial shape, and size. The conidia were globose, single, and hyaline. Upon molecular analysis-using the ITS region, large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene, and TUB gene sequences-the fungus was identified as Botryotrichum iranicum. This is the first record of these fungal species in Korea.

Endophytic fungal strains were isolated from the leaves of two conifer species (Juniperus rigida and Pinus densiflora) in Korea and identified on the basis of their morphological and molecular characteristics. Internal transcribed spacer and large subunit regions of rDNA were used for the phylogenetic analysis, and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF) and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) genes were analyzed depending on the species. Two fungal species that were previously unrecorded in Korea were identified: Acrodontium burrowsianum and Pestalotiopsis humicola. Their morphological and phylogenetic characteristics are described herein.

본 연구에서는 소나무(Pinus densiflora)와 아로니아(Aronia melanocarpa)의 잎을 채취하여 표면살균한 후 내생균을 분리하였다. 분리한 균주는 형태적 특징과 internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA 지역과 28S rDNA 지역 그리고 ${\beta}-tubulin$ 유전자의 염기서열을 이용하여 계통분석을 통해 동정하였다. 소나무에서 분리한 두 종의 균주인 Pestalotia lawsoniae와 Zasmidium fructicola, 그리고 아로니아에서 분리한 세 종의 균주인 Pestalotiopsis chamaeropis, Pestalotiopsis jesteri, Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum는 국내 미기록 진균으로 보고하고자 한다.

The high molecular-weight mucilage extracted and purified from cactus fruit of Opuntia ficus-indica var. Saboten was degraded by the cell-free culture filtrate of a fungus isolated from soil. TLC analysis of the polymeric mucilage after incubation with the fungal culture filtrate confirmed its degradation. When the degradation products were tested for their qualitative reactions with ninhydrin and phenol-sulfuric acid, only phenol-sulfuric acid gave positive development, and ninhydrin did not show any observable color reaction. This coloring reaction suggested the presence of a carbohydrate without an amino group within the mucilage. Analyses by HPLC and liquid gel permeation chromatography on sephadex G-100 also provided additional information on degradation of the mucilage by the fungal culture filtrate. The sequences of ITS-5.8S rDNA from the fungal isolate that was cultivated for the preparation of mucilage-degrading enzyme showed 99% similarity to those of Pestalotiopsis aquatica.

Disease occurrence and development of gray blight of tea (Camellia sinensis) were investigated. Higher incidences and more severe damage by gray blight were found in Japanese tea variety Yabukita than the Korean local variety. In Yabukita, Pestalotiopsis longiseta was more frequently observed on the diseased leaves than P. theae but vice versa in the Korean local variety. This indicates that there was the varietal difference in the distribution of fungal species of gray blight pathogens. Both varieties were most severely damaged during the third harvest period with weather conditions of high temperature and humidity favorable to the disease. Presence of the tea brown blight fungus Glomerella cingulata on the margin of gray blight lesion at the late stahe suggested that the pathogenic fungi of tea gray blight were replaced by the brown blight fungus during the disease development.
