is one of the largest genera of
dematiaceous hyphomycetes, and is characterised by a coronate scar structure,
conidia in acropetal chains and <italic>Davidiella</italic>
teleomorphs. Based on
morphology and DNA phylogeny, the species complexes of <italic>C. herbarum</italic>
and <italic>C. sphaerospermum</italic>
have been resolved, resulting in the
elucidation of numerous new taxa. In the present study, more than 200 isolates
belonging to the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
complex were examined and
phylogenetically analysed on the basis of DNA sequences of the nuclear
ribosomal RNA gene operon, including the internal transcribed spacer regions
ITS1 and ITS2, the 5.8S nrDNA, as well as partial actin and translation
elongation factor 1-α gene sequences. For the saprobic, widely
distributed species <italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides,</italic>
both a neotype and
epitype are designated in order to specify a well established circumscription
and concept of this species. <italic>Cladosporium tenuissimum</italic>
and <italic>C.
oxysporum</italic>
, two saprobes abundant in the tropics, are epitypified and
shown to be allied to, but distinct from <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
.
Twenty-two species are newly described on the basis of phylogenetic characters
and cryptic morphological differences. The most important phenotypic
characters for distinguishing species within the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
complex, which represents a monophyletic subclade within the genus, are shape,
width, length, septation and surface ornamentation of conidia and
conidiophores; length and branching patterns of conidial chains and hyphal
shape, width and arrangement. Many of the treated species, <italic>e.g.</italic>
,
<italic>C. acalyphae</italic>
, <italic>C. angustisporum</italic>
, <italic>C. australiense</italic>
,
<italic>C. basiinflatum</italic>
, <italic>C. chalastosporoides</italic>
, <italic>C.
colocasiae</italic>
, <italic>C. cucumerinum, C. exasperatum</italic>
, <italic>C. exile</italic>
,
<italic>C. flabelliforme</italic>
, <italic>C. gamsianum</italic>
, and <italic>C. globisporum</italic>
are currently known only from specific hosts, or have a restricted
geographical distribution. A key to all species recognised within the <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
complex is provided.</p>

), a modern generic concept
of <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
was established, including clear delimitations from
morphologically similar genera (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref30">Crous
<italic>et al</italic>
. 2007b</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref72">de Hoog

. 2007</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref125">Seifert
<italic>et al</italic>
. 2007</xref>
). Species belonging to <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
are characterised by having a unique coronate scar structure
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref48">David 1997</xref>
) and by being
linked to <italic>Davidiella</italic>
teleomorphs
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">Braun <italic>et al.</italic>

, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref36">Crous <italic>et al</italic>
.
2009c</xref>
). They cluster apart from species of <italic>Mycosphaerella</italic>
and represent a separate family, <italic>Davidiellaceae</italic>
(Schoch <italic>et
al.</italic>

).
Taxonomic studies using polyphasic approaches were undertaken to define
distinct phylogenetic and morphological entities within the genus
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref123">Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
2009</xref>
), especially in the species complexes of <italic>C. herbarum</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
) and <italic>C. sphaerospermum</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref135">Zalar <italic>et al.</italic>
2007</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref52">Dugan <italic>et al.</italic>
2008</xref>
).</p>
<p>The present study is a contribution in this series, dealing with the <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
complex. <italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides</italic>
is a very
common, cosmopolitan, saprobic species. It often occurs as a secondary invader
on necrotic parts of many different host plants, has been isolated from air,
soil, textiles and several other substrates
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref55">Ellis 1971</xref>
), and is a common
endophytic or quiescent fungus (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref103">Riesen
& Sieber 1985</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref60">El-Morsy
2000</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref77">Kumaresan &
Suryanarayanan 2002</xref>
). In the past <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
has
also been reported to be involved in several pulmonary and cutaneous
infections and other human health problems
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref71">de Hoog <italic>et al.</italic>
2000</xref>
). Races associated with leaf-spotting have also been reported
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">Anilkumar & Seshadri 1975</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">Arya & Arya 2003</xref>
), though
this could not be confirmed during the course of the present study.</p>
<p>David (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref48">1997</xref>
) introduced
section <italic>Hormodendropsis</italic>
of the subgenus <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
,
typified by <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
, characterised by determinate,
non-proliferating conidiophores. However, type material of <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
, cited by Fresenius
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref63">1850</xref>
) for <italic>Penicillium
cladosporioides</italic>
, could not be traced in the Fresenius herbarium at the
Senckenberg-Museum in Frankfurt and is undoubtedly not preserved. De Vries
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref130">1952</xref>
) discussed the fact
that <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
has often been considered a form of <italic>C.
herbarum</italic>
, compared these two species and found sufficient morphological
differences to justify the recognition of <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
as a
distinct taxon. As “lectotype” of this species he invalidly and
erroneously proposed to choose Bisby's dried “standard culture”
[isol. fr. <italic>Arundo</italic>
leaves, Bamboo Garden, Kew, 1943 (IMI 25324, 60507,
60509)] which, however, proved to belong to the <italic>C. herbarum</italic>
complex.
Hence, it is necessary to designate a neotype and, above all, an epitype with
ex-type culture close to the current concept of <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
,
which is mainly based on Ellis
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref55">1971</xref>
).</p>
<p>In recent decades the name <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
has been applied to
several taxa now demonstrated as distinct, but all united by a superficial
resemblence to the taxon described and illustrated in Ellis
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref55">1971</xref>
). To establish the
identity and clarify the taxonomic status of fungi previously lumped under
this name, it was necessary to re-examine numerous cultures deposited as
“<italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
” as well as undetermined isolates
from diverse substrates and geographical origins. Therefore, a multilocus DNA
sequence typing approach employing three gene regions (ITS, actin, translation
elongation factor 1-α) supplemented with morphological and cultural
examinations (following protocols outlined in
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
), was used to elucidate species diversity within the <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
complex.</p>

<sec><title>Isolates</title>
<p>Isolates included in this study were obtained from the culture collection
of the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures (CBS-KNAW Fungal Biodiversity
Centre), Utrecht, Netherlands, or were freshly isolated from a range of
different substrates and placed in the working collection of Pedro Crous
(CPC), housed at CBS. Single-conidial and ascospore isolates were obtained
using techniques in Crous <italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref45">1991</xref>
) and Crous
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">1998</xref>
). Isolates were
inoculated onto 2 % potato-dextrose agar (PDA), synthetic nutrient-poor agar
(SNA), 2 % malt extract agar (MEA) and oatmeal agar (OA)

<sec><title>DNA isolation, amplification and sequence analysis</title>
<p>Fungal colonies were established on agar plates, and genomic DNA was
isolated as described in Crous <italic>et al</italic>
.
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref43">2009f</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref44">2009f</xref>
). Partial gene sequences
were determined as described by Crous <italic>et al</italic>
.
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref39">2006b</xref>
) and Schubert <italic>et
al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">2007b</xref>
) for actin
(ACT), translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF), and part of the nuclear
rDNA operon spanning the 3' end of the 18S rRNA gene, the first internal
transcribed spacer, the 5.8S rRNA gene, the second internal transcribed spacer
and the 5' end of the 28S rRNA gene (ITS). The primer EF-2
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref96">O'Donnell <italic>et al</italic>
.
1998</xref>
) can be used as alternative reverse primer for amplification
of the TEF region. The nucleotide sequences were generated using both PCR
primers to ensure good quality sequences over the entire length of the
amplicon. Sequence data obtained from Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">2007b</xref>
) and Zalar <italic>et
al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref135">2007</xref>
) were used as
reference data for the alignments (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl1">Table
1</xref>
). Subsequent sequence alignment followed Crous <italic>et al</italic>
.
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref39">2006b</xref>
). MrModeltest v. 2.2
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref95">Nylander 2004</xref>
) was used to
determine the best nucleotide substitution model for each locus using the
Akaike information criterion (AIC). The phylogenetic analyses were performed
with MrBayes v. 3.1.2 (Huelsenbeck & Ronquist 2003, Ronquist &
Huelsenbeck 2005) and the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis of 4 chains
started from random tree topology and lasted 18 000 000 generations. Trees
were saved each 1 000 generations, resulting in 18 001 saved trees in each of
the two run files. Burn-in was set at 5 000 000 generations after which the
likelihood values were stationary. Neighbour-joining analyses using the HKY85
substitution model were applied to each data partition to check the stability
and robustness of each species clade under the different partitions (data not
shown). The ITS region has limited resolution for many species in
<italic>Cladosporium,</italic>
therefore results for the ACT and TEF regions were used
for comparison of clade stability. Gaps longer than 10 bases were coded as
single events for the phylogenetic analyses (TEF alignment). Novel sequence
data were lodged in GenBank (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl1">Table
1</xref>
) and the alignment and tree in TreeBASE
(<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="www.treebase.org">www.treebase.org</ext-link>
).</p>

<sec><title>Morphology</title>
<p><bold>Light microscopy (LM).</bold>
Microscopic observations of isolates were
made from colonies cultivated for 7 d under continuous near ultraviolet light
at 25 °C on SNA. Preparations were mounted in Shear's solution
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref43">Crous <italic>et al.</italic>
2009f</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref44">Crous <italic>et al.</italic>
2009f</xref>
).
To study conidial development and branching patterns of conidial chains,
squares of transparent adhesive tape (Titan Ultra Clear Tape, Conglom Inc.,
Toronto, Canada) were placed on conidiophores growing in the zone between the
colony margin and 2 cm inwards, and mounted between two drops of Shear's
solution under a glass cover slip. Conidial terminology follows Schubert
<italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">2007b</xref>
).
Wherever possible, 50 measurements (× 1 000 magnification, differential
interference contrast microscopy, Zeiss Axioscope 2 PLUS) were made of conidia
with outliers given in parentheses. For cultural characteristics colonies were
cultivated on PDA, SNA, OA and MEA for 14 d at 25 °C in the dark, after
which the surface and reverse colours were rated using the charts of Rayner
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref102">1970</xref>
).</p>
<p><bold>Low-temperature scanning electron microscopy (SEM).</bold>
Isolates of
<italic>Cladosporium</italic>
spp. were grown on SNA with 30 g agar/L for 3–4 d
at room temperature under black light. Relevant parts of the small colonies
with conidiophores and conidia were selected under a binocular (×
10–50 magnification, Nicon SMZ 1500), excised with a surgical blade as
small agar blocks (3 × 3 mm), and transferred to a copper cup for
snap-freezing in nitrogen slush. Agar blocks were glued to the copper surface
with frozen tissue medium (KP-Cryoblock, Klinipath, Duiven, Netherlands) mixed
with 1 part colloidal graphite (Agar Scientific, Stansted, U.K.). Samples were
examined in a JEOL 5600LV scanning electron microscope (JEOL, Tokyo, Japan)
equipped with an Oxford CT1500 Cryostation for cryo-electron microscopy
(cryoSEM). Electron micrographs were acquired from uncoated frozen samples, or
after sputter-coating by means of a gold/palladium target for 3 times during
30 s. Micrographs of uncoated samples were taken at an acceleration voltage of
3 kV, and consisted of 30 averaged fast scans (SCAN 2 mode), at 5 kV in case
of the coated samples (PHOTO mode).</p>

) were obtained. The resulting alignment contained
253 taxa (including the outgroup taxon) and 497, 193 and 373 characters
(including alignment gaps) were used in the ITS, ACT and TEF partitions,
respectively. The best model selected for ITS was a general time-reversible
(GTR) substitution model with a proportion of the sites invariable and the
state frequencies set at fixed (SYM+I model); and for both ACT and TEF a
general time-reversible (GTR) substitution model with inverse gamma rates and
the state frequencies set at Dirichlet (GTR+I+G model). For the Bayesian
analysis, 26 002 trees were obtained from which the consensus tree and
posterior probabilities were calculated
(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1</xref>

phylogenetic and morphological results, 22 novel species are described.

<sec><title>Key to the <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
species treated</title>
<p>Morphological features used in the key to distinguish the species treated
in this study were determined by light microscopy after 7 to 9 d growth at 25
°C on SNA, and cultural characteristics after 14 d incubation on PDA.
<italic>Cladosporium uredinicola</italic>
and <italic>C. vignae</italic>
are not included in
the key since isolates of these species did not sporulate during the course of
the present examinations, and measurements given in literature were made only
on PDA and are therefore only partly comparable. Terminology used for conidial
types, scars and surface ornamentation follow Schubert <italic>et al</italic>
.
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">2007b</xref>
). To reflect the
morphological variability of some of the species, especially with regard to
surface ornamentation of conidia, these species are listed twice or up to
three times in the key, <italic>e.g. C. exile</italic>
. The <italic>C. cladosporioides s.
lat.</italic>
complex (see couplet 35 in the key), includes species that are
morphologically close to <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
but still distinguishable
due to a combination of subtle features as well as <italic>C. cladosporioides s.
str.</italic>
and morphologically indistinguishable but phylogenetically distinct

: The morphology of <italic>C. acalyphae</italic>
is unique and not
comparable with any of the existing species. Surface ornamentation of its
conidia is reminiscent of <italic>Cladosporium pini-ponderosae</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref123">Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>

) and <italic>C. verrucocladosporioides</italic>
(see below) but the
small terminal conidia in the latter two species are narrower and the
conidiophores are quite different. The biology of this species remains
unclear, i.e., it is unknown whether it is saprobic or plant pathogenic. The
species clustered as a sister between <italic>C. delicatulum</italic>
and <italic>C.
inversicolor</italic>

<p><italic>Etymology</italic>
: Name refers to the conidia and the habit of conidial
chains which are reminiscent of the genus <italic>Chalastospora</italic>

immersed and superficial; hyphae unbranched or loosely
branched, 1–3 μm wide, septate, not constricted at septa, pale to
pale medium olivaceous-brown, almost smooth to usually minutely verruculose,
walls unthickened or almost so. <italic>Conidiophores</italic>
solitary,
macronematous, arising terminally and laterally from hyphae, erect, straight
to somewhat flexuous, cylindrical-oblong, sometimes with constrictions,
attenuations and swellings which give the conidiophores an irregular
appearance, often slightly to distinctly geniculate-sinuous, usually once,
unbranched or once branched, below the apex or at a lower level, 30–80
× (2–)2.5–3.5(–4) μm, 1–4-septate, not
constricted at septa, medium olivaceous-brown, smooth, walls unthickened or
only very slightly thickened, occasionally slightly attenuated towards the
apex. <italic>Conidiogenous cells</italic>
integrated, mainly terminal but also
intercalary, cylindrical, often geniculate-sinuous, 6–20 μm long,
1–2(–4) loci at or towards the apex, sometimes situated on small
lateral prolongations, subdenticulate to denticulate, 1–1.5 μm diam,
central dome and periclinal rim not very conspicuous, loci flat, somewhat
thickened and darkened-refractive. <italic>Ramoconidia</italic>
formed, hardly
distinguishable from secondary ramoconidia, up to 24 μm long, base
2–3 μm wide, broadly truncate. <italic>Conidia</italic>
catenate, at the base
of the chain or intercalary once or twice mostly dichotomously branched,
formed in long, unbranched chains of up to 18 conidia, small terminal conidia
narrowly obovoid to subcylindrical, 5–9 × 2–2.5 μm (av.

conidia fusiform to subcylindrical, 7–14 × 2–3 μm (av.
± SD: 9.4 ± 1.5 × 2.5 ± 0.3), 0(–1)-septate,
with 1–2 distal hila, small terminal and intercalary conidia subhyaline,
often distinctly paler compared with secondary ramoconidia, secondary
ramoconidia fusiform to subcylindrical, 10–19 ×
(2–)2.5–4 μm (av. ± SD: 15.3 ± 2.4 × 3.1
± 0.5), 0–1(–)2-septate, not constricted at septa, pale to
pale medium olivaceous-brown, smooth or almost so, walls more or less
unthickened, slightly attenuated towards apex and base and occasionally
constricted in the middle, hila conspicuous, truncate, 0.8–1.8 μm
diam, central dome and periclinal rim not very prominent, neither with LM nor
SEM, thickened and darkened-refractive; microcyclic conidiogenesis very often
occurring with conidia forming secondary conidiophores.</p>

<p><italic>Notes</italic>
: The conidia in this new species are mainly fusiform and
arranged in very long mostly unbranched chains, which are reminiscentof the
genus <italic>Chalastospora</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref127">Simmons
2007</xref>
), especially the species <italic>C. gossypii,</italic>
representing
an anamorph lineage in the <italic>Pleosporales</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">Crous <italic>et al.</italic>
2009a</xref>
).</p>
<p>The structure of conidiogenous loci and hila is not very prominent; the
cladosporioid scar structure characterised by a central dome and a periclinal
rim is barely visible using light microscopy and with SEM it is also not very
prominent. However, the species clearly clusters within the genus
<italic>Cladosporium</italic>
. It clusters as a sister to <italic>C. hillianum</italic>
(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1, part a</xref>
) and formed a
distinct lineage for both TEF and ACT (distance analyses in TreeBASE).</p>
<p><italic>Cladosporium flabelliforme</italic>
described from Australia on
<italic>Melaleuca cajuputi</italic>
and introduced in this paper as a new species is
morphologically somewhat similar but distinct in having longer and slightly
narrower secondary ramoconidia [11–27 ×
(2–)2.5–3(–3.5) μm] with conidial chains being
characteristically spread in a fan-like manner.</p>

] which, however, proved to belong to the <italic>C.
herbarum</italic>
complex. Recent unpublished phylogenetic studies showed this
isolate to be conspecific with <italic>C. ramotenellum</italic>
, a saprobic species
that occurs more frequently than indicated in Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">2007b</xref>
). The designated
neotype, which is a dried plate of a strain isolated from indoor air in
Germany, originates from the same country as the authentic material described
by Fresenius and agrees well with the description given by Ellis
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref55">1971</xref>
). Together with numerous
other isolates from various substrates and geographical regions it forms a
well-supported clade (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figs 1, part

). However, <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
is still paraphyletic
representing a species complex since there are still numerous isolates listed
under excluded strains, that are morphologically indistinguishable from <italic>C.

usually smooth. Strains with often asperulate or finely verruculose conidia as

asperulatum</italic>
and <italic>C. perangustum</italic>
.</p>
<p><italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides</italic>
belongs to a species complex with
broadly similar conidiophore and conidium morphology, and is close to <italic>C.
tenuissimum</italic>
and several foliicolous <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
species,
<italic>e.g., C. cucumerinum</italic>
and <italic>C. vignae</italic>
but, besides their
pathogenicity to specific host plants, the latter two species differ in some
additional aspects as discussed under these species. The two saprobic species
<italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
and <italic>C. tenuissimum</italic>
have often been
misidentified and confused. However, the conidiophores in <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
are mostly long stipes being usually neither geniculate
nor nodulose, but with a single terminal conidiogenous cell. If the
conidiogenous cells are formed intercalary, loci are formed as small denticles
just below a septum or situated on small lateral outgrowths. In <italic>C.
tenuissimum</italic>
the conidiophores often possess a slightly swollen head-like
apex and sometimes also have intercalary subnodulose or nodulose swellings,
being quite apart from the apical cell and from each other. In intercalary
conidiogenous cells the loci are often arranged at about the same level on the
stalk, being quite apart from a septum, or the cells are slightly or
distinctly geniculate, with loci situated on small lateral shoulders
continuing growth sometimes at an angle of 45°. Compared to <italic>C.
tenuissimum,</italic>
conidial chains in <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
are looser
and often much longer in the terminal, unbranched part of the chain with up to
10 conidia. Secondary ramoconidia are somewhat longer in <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
.</p>
<p>Several strains were isolated from <italic>Pisum sativum</italic>
and stored at the
CBS as <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
f. <italic>pisicola</italic>
(≡
<italic>Cladosporium pisicola</italic>
), including
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.studiesinmycology.org/cgi/external_ref?access_num=144.35&link_type=cbs">CBS 144.35</ext-link>
, which
is an authentic culture of W.C. Snyder from 1935. The taxonomy and application
of the name <italic>C. pisicola</italic>
is, however, rather intricate and depends on
typification. <italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides</italic>
is common on the
phyllosphere of living and faded or necrotic leaves, stems and pods of peas
and often isolated. Snyder (1934) dealt with a plant pathogenic leaf, stem and
pod spot disease and introduced the name <italic>C. pisicola</italic>
. However, the
latter name was based on heterogeneous elements, viz. cultures of <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
and <italic>in vivo</italic>
material with a morphologically
distinct leaf spotting <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
. This is not surprising since
<italic>C. cladosporioides,</italic>
as most other common saprobic
<italic>Cladosporium</italic>
spp., grow very easily in culture, more easily than
plant pathogenic taxa. Authentic cultures deposited by Snyder, <italic>e.g.</italic>
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.studiesinmycology.org/cgi/external_ref?access_num=144.35&link_type=cbs">CBS 144.35</ext-link>
, are,
indeed, identical with <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
, which has been proven
during the course of the present molecular study. Thus, the decision by de
Vries (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref130">1952</xref>
) to consider
<italic>C. pisicola</italic>
a synonym of <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
based on
Snyder's authentic culture was correct. But the <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
species
causing distinct leaf spots on peas does not agree with the latter species. It
is easily distinguishable by its distinctly sympodial (geniculate)
conidiophores with terminal as well as intercalary conidiogenous cells and
numerous, often crowded conidiogenous loci. Because the conidiophores of
<italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
are rather uniform <italic>in vivo</italic>
as well as
<italic>in vitro</italic>
, never changing from filiform, only with a terminal
conidiogenous cell, to strongly geniculate with intercalary conidiogenous
cells, the causal agent of the leaf spot disease and the cultures agreeing
with <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
has to be considered two distinct species.
The application of the name <italic>C. pisicola</italic>
depends on its typification.
Several authentic cultures and samples of W.C. Snyder have been examined, but
unfortunately all of them date back to 1935 and 1940 and cannot be considered
as type collections since this species was already described in 1934.
Therefore, a neotypification is necessary. We prefer to maintain the name
<italic>C. pisicola</italic>
for the leaf-spotting <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
on peas by a
neotypification with authentic <italic>in vivo</italic>
material. Cultures of the true
<italic>C. pisicola</italic>
in this sense and sequence data are not yet available, so
that the latter name can currently only be maintained as a distinct
morphospecies. A detailed description of this species with a neotypification
will be given in the planned monograph of the genus <italic>Cladosporium</italic>

recorded on leaves of <italic>Colocasia esculenta</italic>

since the author failed to provide a Latin diagnosis. Although type material
could not be traced and re-examined, this species is reduced to synonymy with

almost identical with the latter species.</p>

TEF and ACT, clustering between lineages of <italic>C. tenuissimum</italic>
(distance
analyses in TreeBASE; also see notes on <italic>C. tenuissimum</italic>

species is nestled within <italic>C. tenuissimum</italic>

<p>The strain from New Zealand, isolated from <italic>Apium graveolens</italic>

<p><italic>Notes</italic>
: Original material of the herbarium name <italic>C.
cucumerinum</italic>
var. <italic>europaeum</italic>
Bubák agrees very well with
the species concept of <italic>C. cucumerinum</italic>
and is therefore reduced to
synonymy with the latter species. In de Vries
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref130">1952</xref>
) and McKemy &
Morgan-Jones (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref89">1992</xref>
)
“<italic>Macrosporium cucumerinum</italic>
Ellis & Everh., Hedwigia 7: 49.
1896.” is cited as a synonym of <italic>C. cucumerinum</italic>
, but in
Hedwigia, vol. 7 (published in 1868, not in 1896) there is no reference to
this name. In Index Fungorum the original citation of <italic>Macrosporium
cucumerinum</italic>
is given as “Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 1895:
440. 1895.” and “<italic>Alternaria cucumerina</italic>
(Ellis &
Everh.) A. Elliott, Amer. J. Bot. 4: 472. 1917.” is given as current
name. De Vries (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref130">1952</xref>
) listed
<italic>Chloridium polysporum</italic>
(<italic>≡ Acladium polysporum</italic>
) as an
additional synonym and stressed that this name antedated <italic>C.
cucumerinum</italic>
. McKemy & Morgan-Jones
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref89">1992</xref>
) discussed this
“synonymy” and stated that the two species are not identical and
do not even belong in the same genus. Hughes
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref74">1958</xref>
), who examined type
material of Wallroth's species, reduced <italic>A. polysporum</italic>
to synonymy
with <italic>Botrytis cinerea</italic>
.</p>
<p><italic>Cladosporium cucumerinum,</italic>
belonging to a species complex with
broadly similar conidiophore and conidium morphology, is morphologically close
to <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
and <italic>C. vignae</italic>
. Besides very
characteristic symptoms, its pathogenicity to several <italic>Cucurbitaceae</italic>
and its immersed hyphae often possessing a mucoid layer, <italic>C.
cucumerinum</italic>
is distinguished from <italic>C. vignae</italic>
in having mostly
longer conidiophores, ramoconidia and somewhat longer and wider secondary
ramoconidia. <italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides</italic>
, which is saprobic and a
secondary invader of diseased plant tissue, has usually narrower, monopodially
proliferating, non-geniculate conidiophores <italic>in vivo</italic>
and somewhat
narrower conidia <italic>in vivo</italic>
and <italic>in vitro</italic>
. Furthermore, <italic>C.
cucumerinum</italic>
and <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
are distinguished <italic>in
vitro</italic>
by colony appearance, particularly colour, growth rates and degree
of ramification of conidiophores. The species clusters as a sister to <italic>C.
subuliforme</italic>
(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1, part
c</xref>
) and forms a distinct lineage for both TEF and ACT (distance
analyses in TreeBASE).</p>
<p><italic>Cladosporium cucumerinum</italic>
, the causal organism of crown blight and
scab or gummosis disease is widespread and especially occurs on <italic>Citrullus
lanatus, Cucumis melo, C. sativus</italic>
and <italic>Cucurbita pepo</italic>
. Records
from other members of the <italic>Cucurbitaceae</italic>
belong very probably to this
species and are, therefore, listed under “substrates and
distribution”. Roberts <italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref104">1986</xref>
) examined the internal
mycoflora of achenes of <italic>Helianthus annuus</italic>
(<italic>Asteraceae</italic>
) and
reported <italic>C. cucumerinum</italic>
as isolated from developing sunflower seeds.
Morphological data and illustrations have not been provided, and cultures
could not be traced, so that a verification of the identity of the fungus
concerned was not possible. Hasija
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref67">1967</xref>
) described this species
from India on <italic>Solanum tuberosum</italic>
(<italic>Solanaceae</italic>
). In Korea, a
<italic>Cladosporium</italic>
species was isolated from leaves of <italic>Solanum
melongena</italic>
cultivated in a greenhouse, and identified as <italic>C.
cucumerinum</italic>
by Kwon <italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref78">1999</xref>
). They carried out
inoculation experiments and reported it to cause symptoms in seedlings of
watermelon, cucumber, oriental melon and pumpkins. Kwon <italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref79">2000</xref>
) reported it to cause a
black scab disease on sword bean (<italic>Canavalia ensiformis</italic>
= <italic>C.
gladiata, Fabaceae</italic>
) in greenhouses in Korea. Mendes <italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref91">1998</xref>
) listed <italic>Capsicum
annuum</italic>
as a further host species. These records indicate that <italic>C.
cucumerinum</italic>
is possibly not confined to hosts in the
<italic>Cucurbitaceae</italic>
. However, molecular examinations of strains from plants
other than <italic>Cucumis sativus</italic>
are necessary to confirm the host range of
this species. The isolate from a painted floor in the U.S.A. very probably
resulted due to contamination with <italic>C. cucumerinum</italic>
. The species was
originally described from North America but an epitypification with European
material is justified due to its pathogenicity to several hosts of cucurbits
and its cosmopolitan distribution.</p>
<p>The original diagnosis of <italic>Cladosporium dufourii</italic>
described on
decaying fruits of cucurbits from France is very brief: “Dense
caespitosum, filamentis ramosis, geniculatis, septatis, olivaceis, e macula
circulari atrocaerulea orientibus. Sporidiis rotundis vel oblongis, saepe
didymis.” Since type material was not available, it remains unclear
whether this species is identical with <italic>C. cucumerinum</italic>

<p><italic>Notes</italic>
: <italic>Cladosporium delicatulum</italic>
is the oldest name for a
well characterised, widely distributed saprobic species. Type material of this
species originating from India, Asia is quite sparse. Since all strains of
<italic>C. delicatulum</italic>
included in this study are from Europe we postpone a
formal epitypification until Asian cultures will be available. However, the
German strain from <italic>Tilia cordata</italic>
can serve as reference strain to fix
the application of <italic>C. delicatulum</italic>
and agrees well with the Indian
type material (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig23">Fig. 23</xref>
).
The morphology <italic>in vitro</italic>
is very uniform, and clearly different from
the closely allied <italic>C. inversicolor,</italic>
which deviates in having longer
conidial chains, longer small terminal and intercalary conidia, wider
intercalary conidia and secondary ramoconidia, longer ramoconidia with a
broader base, with conidia being smooth to loosely verruculose or irregularly
rugose. From <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
it is distinct due to
0–1-septate intercalary conidia and secondary ramoconidia, only few
conidia in the terminal unbranched part of conidial chains, shorter often
slightly geniculate conidiophores and shorter secondary ramoconidia. Material
<italic>in vivo</italic>
is characterised by having somewhat wider conidiophores
(10–200 × 3–7 μm) which are more frequently
geniculate-sinuous and conidia that are 4–25(–30) ×
2.5–6(–7) μm, and 0–2(–3)-septate (see Figs

in having often dichotomously branched, very long conidial chains with
sometimes up to 17 conidia in the terminal unbranched part of the chain and
longer small terminal conidia and intercalary conidia which are smooth or
loosely minutely verruculose or irregularly rough-walled and usually slightly
darker than ramoconidia, secondary ramoconidia and conidiophores, although the
terminal conidia are usually paler in <italic>Cladosporium</italic>

coloration of conidia has not yet been observed in any <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
species known from culture. <italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides</italic>
is similar
to <italic>C. inversicolor</italic>
but distinct in that it has usually smooth conidia
with small terminal conidia and intercalary conidia being somewhat shorter and
not inversely pigmented, longer secondary ramoconidia and wider

recently described as a
leaf-spotting species occurring on <italic>Corymbia foelscheana</italic>

was known until now only from the type collection
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">Braun <italic>et al.</italic>
2005</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref116">Schubert 2005b</xref>
). An
additional collection from the same host and country could be examined and
included in this study which agrees well with the original description of
<italic>C. myrtacearum</italic>
. It is designated here as epitype of this species.
However, the biology of <italic>C. myrtacearum</italic>
remains unclear. Although leaf
spots similar to those of the type specimen occurred on the infected leaves,
sporulation was not connected with these spots.</p>
<p>A second strain isolated from <italic>Eucalyptus placita</italic>
from New South
Wales (CPC 13689) clusters with the epitype strain of <italic>C. myrtacearum</italic>
and forms a highly supported subclade (see
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1, part a</xref>
). Conidiophore
and conidial measurements are almost identical but the mycelium in strain CPC
13689 is slightly wider, often formed in ropes or twisted, conidiophores are
only macronematous and conidia are somewhat paler and smooth. However, these
morphological differences are probably within species variation, but on both
ACT and TEF these two isolates are not identical and more strains are needed
for clarification.</p>
<p><italic>In vitro C. myrtacearum</italic>
is morphologically reminiscent of <italic>C.
antarcticum,</italic>
but the latter species differs in having dimorphic mycelium,
longer and wider, minutely verruculose or verrucose conidia and secondary
ramoconidia (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>

saprobe, especially in the tropics and subtropics on dead parts of leaves and

). With its usually long, more or less regularly nodulose or
nodose conidiophores and smooth, 0–1(–2)-septate conidia, it is a
well-characterised species easily distinguishable from the morphologically
allied <italic>C. herbarum</italic>

McKemy & Morgan-Jones
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref88">1991</xref>

(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref48">1997</xref>
), confirming the
interpretation of the species by Ellis
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref55">1971</xref>
) to be accurate. Type
material is in poor condition and should therefore not be re-examined. Only
few typical conidia and nodulose conidiophores could be observed
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref116">Schubert 2005b</xref>

<p>Compared with the high number of isolates identified as <italic>C.

and <italic>C. tenuissimum</italic>
included in this study, and
although <italic>C. oxysporum</italic>
is considered to be common, only two isolates
could be assigned to this species. This is maybe due to the sampling, since
there are only few isolates from subtropical or tropical areas, or maybe
<italic>C. oxysporum</italic>
is not as ubiquitous as some other species of the genus,
which was already presumed by McKemy & Morgan-Jones
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref88">1991</xref>

: <italic>Cladosporium exile</italic>

are
morphologically comparable with <italic>C. perangustum</italic>

differs in having usually longer and somewhat wider conidiophores, slightly
wider ramoconidia and conidia, shorter intercalary conidia and somewhat wider
conidiogenous loci and hila. In <italic>C. scabrellum</italic>
the conidiophores are
mainly macronematous and somewhat wider and secondary ramoconidia slightly
wider. Phylogenetically these three species cluster quite apart from each
other (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1, part b <italic>vs.</italic>
a</xref>
; distance analyses in TreeBASE).</p>
<p>Due to its numerous subglobose or globose often finely verruculose terminal
conidia, <italic>C. perangustum</italic>
is reminiscent of <italic>C. sphaerospermum,</italic>
but the latter species is easily distinguishable by having wider densely
septate conidiophores, 0–5-septate ramoconidia and somewhat wider,
0–3(–4)-septate secondary ramoconidia
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref135">Zalar <italic>et al.</italic>

<italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides</italic>
is distinct by having usually smooth
aseptate conidia, wider conidiophores, ramoconidia and secondary ramoconidia
and wider conidiogenous loci and hila.</p>
<p>Similar to <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
and <italic>C. pseudocladosporioides, C.
perangustum</italic>
could probably also be a species complex, since there are
more phylogenetic differences in that clade for both ACT and TEF than between
some of the other more closely related species that we recognise as distinct
species. However, the morphology of all isolates is quite uniform and the
clade phylogenetically highly supported (posterior probability value 0.99, see
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1, part b</xref>
; distance
analyses in TreeBASE). Therefore, we prefer to treat it as a single species
until we can include more isolates or use additional features that allow the
recognition of cryptic species.</p>

Slovenia), North America (Canada, U.S.A.), South America (Brazil, Chile).</p>
<p><italic>Notes</italic>
: <italic>Cladosporium pseudocladosporioides</italic>
is
morphologically very close to <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
but the secondary
ramoconidia in the latter species are longer and somewhat wider,
(7–)10–33(–38) × (2–)2.5–4(–6)
μm, usually aseptate, conidiogenous loci and hila are wider,
0.5–2(–2.5) μm diam, and hyphae usually do not form ropes.
However, a distinction between these two species only based on morphology is
not always easy; in such cases an unclear strain can be referred to as
belonging to the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
complex. Phylogenetically, both
species are allied but distinct (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1,
part b <italic>vs.</italic>
c</xref>
; distance analyses in TreeBASE).
<italic>Cladosporium paracladosporioides</italic>
differs in having wider,
0–3-septate secondary ramoconidia, wider conidiogenous loci and hila and
is phylogenetically distinct (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1,
part b</xref>
).</p>
<p><italic>Cladosporium pseudocladosporioides</italic>
probably represents a species
complex maybe including some cryptic species since there is some variation
within the isolates (observed in both ACT and TEF alignments; distance
analyses in TreeBASE). Few isolates form numerous loci and hila at apices of
conidiogenous cells and secondary ramoconidia with conidia formed in dense
whirls, but besides this measurements and morphology are quite conserved
within all the isolates. Therefore, it is treated as a single species until
additional isolates can be included.</p>

<p><italic>Notes</italic>
: <italic>Cladosporium tenuissimum</italic>
and <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
are two quite common saprobic species isolated from
numerous substrates. They are morphologically very similar and have therefore
often been confused. Isolates of both taxa were included in this study and it
has been demonstrated that they represent two morphologically, as well as
phylogenetically allied but distinct species (see discussion under <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
).</p>
<p>On SNA plates conidiophores of <italic>C. tenuissimum</italic>
can become darker
and more thick-walled with age and conidia more frequently septate. On OA and
PDA the conidiophores are very long and darker, medium to dark
olivaceous-brown, surprisingly forming several nodules quite distant from each
other which remind one of the closely related <italic>C. oxysporum. Cladosporium
oxysporum</italic>
, however, does not form its characteristically nodose
conidiophores on OA and PDA, but does so on SNA and <italic>in vivo.</italic>
In
contrast, <italic>C. tenuissimum</italic>

dark conidiophores with somewhat thickened walls, but without any swellings or
only slightly and unilaterally swollen apices on the natural host (<italic>in

conidiophores are largely consistent between these two species as already
stated by Ellis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref56">1976</xref>

<italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref70">1999</xref>

situation with <italic>C. perangustum</italic>

which is supported by nucleotide changes in both ACT and TEF gene sequences.
However, since the morphology of all isolates is quite uniform we prefer to
treat these as intraspecific variation for the moment pending the collection
of more strains.</p>

<p><italic>Notes</italic>
: <italic>Cladosporium varians</italic>
and <italic>C. phyllogenum</italic>
have been treated as two distinct species although micromorphological
characters of the two species are rather similar. <italic>Cladosporium
varians</italic>
was said to differ from <italic>C. phyllogenum</italic>
in having swollen
tips on the conidiogenous cells, sometimes unilaterally enlarged, and much
shorter ramoconidia, 6–25 × 3–6(–7) μm
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">Braun <italic>et al.</italic>
2008b</xref>
).
However, since additional isolates were included in the present study it can
be seen that morphological differences between these two species are within
the species variation. Therefore, <italic>C. phyllogenum</italic>
is reduced to
synonymy with <italic>C. varians</italic>
. The species clusters as a sister to <italic>C.
paracladosporioides</italic>
(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1, part
a</xref>
) and forms a distinct lineage for both TEF and ACT, although
some intraspecific variation is present in the individual loci (distance
analyses in TreeBASE).</p>
<p>The ecology of <italic>Cladosporium varians</italic>
is not clear. It has been
collected as a saprobic fungus on dead, but still attached leaves of
<italic>Catalpa bungei</italic>
, but possibly lives also as an endophyte, only growing
and sporulating superficially under favourable external conditions with
fructification mainly confined to and spread on veins, as demonstrated for the
type collection of <italic>C. phyllogenum</italic>

<p>Because of small, smooth conidia, this species pertains to the
<italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides</italic>
complex
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref55">Ellis 1971</xref>
). It differs from
<italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
in having long, frequently branched conidiophores,
arising <italic>in vivo</italic>
from superficial hyphae and often somewhat swollen or
unilaterally swollen conidiogenous tips. The ramoconidia possess up to four
septa, and subglobose conidia are not abundant. The swollen conidiogenous
cells and the formation of subglobose conidia, mixed with cylindrical,
ellipsoid and fusiform conidia, are reminiscent of <italic>C. tenuissimum</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref55">Ellis 1971</xref>
). In the latter
species, the conidiophores are, however, setiform, usually unbranched, often
with darker and thicker walls, the ramoconidia are only 0–1-septate, and
the conidia range from smooth-walled to verruculose. Due to frequently
branched conidiophores and abundant globose conidia, there is also a
morphological connection to <italic>C. sphaerospermum</italic>
, which is, however,
easily distinguishable by its verruculose conidia. Furthermore, in molecular
sequence analyses (based on ITS nrDNA sequence data not shown here) <italic>C.

which is a sister taxon to <italic>Cladosporium s. str.</italic>
Within the <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>

having a similar verruculose or irregularly rough-walled surface
ornamentation, but <italic>C. acalyphae, C. exasperatum</italic>
and <italic>C.
pini-ponderosae</italic>
are comparable. Phylogenetically, all of them are quite
distinct (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1, part b <italic>vs.</italic>

; distance analyses in TreeBASE). Morphologically, <italic>C.
acalyphae</italic>
differs by much longer conidiophores, longer and wider, often
globose terminal conidia and usually aseptate secondary ramoconidia.
<italic>Cladosporium pini-ponderosae</italic>

are wider and secondary ramoconidia somewhat wider,

: This species, which is a seed-borne parasite, is the causal
agent of scab, leaf and pod blight on <italic>Vigna unguiculata</italic>
and
<italic>Lespedeza bicolor</italic>
. Gardner
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref64">1925</xref>
), who introduced this
species, stated that only young growing tissues are susceptible. Inoculation
experiments were carried out to prove the pathogenicity of <italic>C. vignae</italic>
.
Under favourable conditions infections occurred with great rapidity and
virulence, and visible lesions already causing crinkling of the leaves may be
present within 48 h of inoculation. Attempts to infect field pea seedlings
(<italic>Pisum sativum</italic>
) with the cowpea fungus have been unsuccessful.

) are, therefore, doubtful and probably misidentifications. Da
Silva & Minter (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref126">1995</xref>

recorded this species from Brazil on <italic>Vigna unguiculata</italic>

<p>De Vries (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref130">1952</xref>
) examined
an isolate of <italic>C. vignae</italic>
sent to the CBS by M.W. Gardner in 1925, but
found sporulation to be poor. On the basis of what could be observed, he
concluded that this species was similar to <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
and
that it would probably have to be considered as a <italic>forma specialis</italic>
of
that species once better isolates were studied. The same isolate examined by
de Vries is still preserved in the CBS culture collection but forms only
sterile mycelium. Morgan-Jones & McKemy
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref93">1992</xref>
) and Ho <italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref70">1999</xref>
) examined <italic>C.
vignae</italic>
in culture, provided detailed descriptions of its features <italic>in
vitro</italic>
and discussed its morphological similarity with <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
treating them as two separate species. Besides its
pathogenicity to <italic>Vigna</italic>
and <italic>Lespedeza</italic>
spp. and its very
characteristic symptoms, <italic>C. vignae</italic>
is distinguished from <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
in having somewhat wider conidiophores with several to
numerous often somewhat crowded conidiogenous loci. <italic>Cladosporium
cucumerinum</italic>
, causal agent of crown blight and scab or gummosis disease of
<italic>Cucurbitaceae</italic>
, is morphologically also close to <italic>C. vignae</italic>
but separated by its mostly longer conidiophores, its somewhat longer and
wider ramoconidia and its immersed hyphae often possessing a slime coat.
Phylogenetically <italic>C. vignae</italic>
is quite distinct from the morphologically
similar <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
and <italic>C. cucumerinum</italic>
(see

<p><italic>Cladosporium lupiniphilum</italic>

has somewhat wider, 0–3-septate conidia and terminal
conidiogenous cells with only few conidiogenous loci. <italic>Cladosporium

on <italic>Robinia pseudoacacia</italic>
, originally described as a
species of <italic>Heterosporium</italic>

conidiophores and conidia that are verrucose to echinulate, wider and more
frequently septate (23–37 × 8.5–13.5 μm,
1–6-septate) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref48">David

on <italic>Cullen
corylifolium</italic>
[<italic>≡ Psoralea corylifolia</italic>

since the conidiogenous loci are somewhat wider and the conidia are usually
somewhat longer and wider, subglobose and obovoid terminal conidia are usually
lacking (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref116">Schubert 2005b</xref>

whether this species is distinct from <italic>C. vignae</italic>

that small terminal conidia and intercalary conidia are smooth, secondary
ramoconidia shorter (6–17(–19) μm) and conidiogenous loci and
hila slightly narrower (0.5–1.5(–1.8) μm diam). Based on ACT

<sec><title>DISCUSSION</title>
<p><italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides</italic>
is an intricate complex demonstrated
here to contain several cryptic species, some of which are named herein, with
others remain unnamed. Numerous species recognised in this complex are
morphologically very similar and often only morphologically distinguished by
careful observation and with detailed biometric data. As far as possible,
species were distinguished herein based on a combination of morphologic and
biometric features, culture characteristics and molecular data. In some cases,
strains that are clearly genetically distinct were morphologically
indistinguishable. Some groups of taxa are tentatively treated as a species
complex until analyses of more extensive sets of isolates can generate clearer
taxonomic differentiation. For species or phylogenetic lineages between which
morphological differences are lacking or ambiguous, correct determination is
only possible using molecular techniques. Documented morphological variability
within a species can increase with the availability of greater numbers of
isolates, or can be attributed to environmental conditions, age of the
cultures, <italic>etc.</italic>
, all of which render attempts at identification on
morphological criteria even more difficult. For this reason we recommend that
identification of these species be based on a polyphasic approach using a
range of morphological and molecular markers.</p>
<p>The presented results are a conservative approach to define species
entities, in that new species were only introduced when justified by
sufficient morphological and phylogenetic differences. Similar to the <italic>C.
herbarum</italic>
complex (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et
al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
), a huge diversity of species and genotypes has
been found on diverse substrates isolated in a wide range of habitats. Most of
the species seem to be saprobic, but some are phytopathogenic, host-specific
taxa are also involved, <italic>e.g., C. cucumerinum, C. colocasiae</italic>
and
<italic>C. vignae</italic>
. Many of the new species are described from and collected
in Australia, and it can be expected that more will be discovered, especially
from hosts belonging to the <italic>Myrtaceae</italic>
(<italic>Eucalyptus, Corymbia,
Melaleuca</italic>
) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref40">Crous <italic>et al.</italic>
2009d</xref>
). Members of this plant family appear to be favourable hosts
for numerous plant pathogenic and saprobic fungi. The biology of the
<italic>Cladosporium</italic>
species described on <italic>Myrtaceae</italic>
is still unclear
but thus far, fungi occurring on hosts of this plant family have proven to be
largely host family specific (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">Cheewangkoon
<italic>et al.</italic>
2009</xref>
).</p>
<p>The mycelium in most of the <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
species treated here is
more or less <italic>Zasmidium</italic>
(<italic>Stenella</italic>
-)-like <italic>in vitro</italic>
,
being verruculose or verrucose to irregularly rough-walled, an observation not
previously documented from the natural hosts since the fungal hyphae are
usually intercellular in host tissue. In addition to the more
<italic>Cercospora</italic>
-like conidia in <italic>Stenella</italic>
, Deighton
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref49">1979</xref>
) considered the
verruculose superficial mycelium of <italic>Stenella</italic>
as a basic character for
the discrimination between <italic>Stenella</italic>
and <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
.
Deighton's view was not supported in our results here, nor, in analogous
studies on the <italic>C. herbarum</italic>
complex
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
). However, the scar structure of <italic>Stenella</italic>
-like
hyphomycetes is distinct by being not cladosporioid. The type species of
<italic>Stenella, S. araguata</italic>
, proved to be an anamorph of
<italic>Teratosphaeria</italic>
(<italic>Teratosphaeriaceae</italic>
)
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref30">Crous <italic>et al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
).
Recent phylogenetic studies showed that the <italic>Stenella</italic>
-like morphology
type is polyphyletic within the <italic>Mycosphaerellaceae</italic>
, and paraphyletic
within the <italic>Capnodiales</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref41">Crous
<italic>et al</italic>
. 2009e</xref>
). Within the <italic>Mycosphaerellaceae,
Zasmidium</italic>
proved to be the oldest name for <italic>Stenella</italic>
-like
hyphomycetes (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">Arzanlou <italic>et al.</italic>
2007</xref>
) and differs from <italic>Stenella s. str.</italic>
in having
planate, cercosporoid loci (<italic>versus</italic>
pileate conidiogenous loci in
<italic>Stenella</italic>
) (Crous <italic>et al.</italic>

,

).
In several species expanded superficial hyphal ropes are formed, <italic>e.g.</italic>
in <italic>C. angustisporum, C. australiense</italic>
and <italic>C. perangustum</italic>
.</p>
<p>The conidiophores in most species treated in this study are straight to
somewhat flexuous, narrowly cylindrical to cylindrical-oblong or sometimes
filiform, non-nodulose, usually not or only once geniculate-sinuous,
unbranched or occasionally branched with branches being often short, only
formed as peg-like lateral outgrowths just below a septum. Nodose
conidiophores with distinct, regular, more pronounced swellings, clearly
separated and distant from each other, are formed in <italic>C. colocasiae, C.
oxysporum</italic>
and partly also in <italic>C. tenuissimum</italic>
. The process of
conidiogenesis within these species has been described in detail by McKemy
& Morgan-Jones (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref88">1991</xref>
).
Conidiophores become temporarily determinate, linear apical growth ceases. The
conidiophores swell appreciably at the extreme apex and a few conidia are
formed in close proximity to one another at the surface of the inflated
portion. Following conidiation, apical meristematic terminal growth resumes
giving rise initially to a narrow, hypha-like extension above the fertile
node. This grows to varying lengths, depending upon growing conditions. The
extended distal portion usually becomes separated from the node below by a
transverse septum and then ceases growth. Terminal swellings and conidiation
then ensue at the higher level and the sequence of events is repeated a number
of times to give rise to the characteristic nodose morphology. In the <italic>C.
herbarum</italic>
complex the process of conidiogenesis differs in that the
conidiophores often possess multilateral swellings round about the stalks,
these swellings usually formed in quick succession giving conidiophores a
somewhat gnarled or knotty appearance
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
).</p>
<p>Surface ornamentation of conidia in the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
complex
is quite variable ranging from smooth or almost so to irregularly
verruculose-rugose, verrucose or rough-walled in some species. This is
comparable with the <italic>C. sphaerospermum</italic>
complex in which species with
both smooth-walled as well as ornamented conidia are included
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref135">Zalar <italic>et al.</italic>
2007</xref>
),
whereas all species in the <italic>C. herbarum</italic>
complex possess ornamented
conidia with the ornamentation ranging from minutely verruculose to verrucose,
echinulate or spiny (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et
al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
). The most prominent surfaces within the <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
complex are formed by <italic>C. acalyphae, C.
exasperatum</italic>
and <italic>C. verrucocladosporioides</italic>
. Under SEM the surface
of their irregularly verruculose-rugulose conidia show irregularly reticulate
structures or embossed stripes. This phenomenon was also described and
illustrated for powdery mildew anamorphs
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref26">Cook <italic>et al</italic>
. 1997</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">Braun <italic>et al</italic>
. 2002</xref>
).
<italic>Cladosporium cladosporioides</italic>
usually forms smooth conidia (LM) but
under SEM such wrinkled structures or embossed stripes are also visible. They
are not as prominent as in <italic>C. acalyphae</italic>
or <italic>C. exasperatum</italic>
and therefore not to be seen when using light microscopy and seem to occur
more commonly in older conidia. Several species are characterised by irregular
ornamentation on the small terminal and intercalary conidia, whereas secondary
ramoconidia are smooth or almost so, as in <italic>C. inversicolor, C.
acalyphae</italic>
and <italic>C. rectoides</italic>
. Combined with additional taxonomic
features, this characteristic can be used for species delimitations.</p>
<p>CryoSEM provides opportunity to study organisation of the fungal colony at
relatively high magnifications and fine details of the conidiophore,
(ramo)conidia and scars, and reveals additional features that can be used to
distinguish the different species as already stated in the <italic>C.
herbarum</italic>
complex (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et
al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
). CryoSEM was used to study morphological criteria
of potential significance for the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
complex. The
most basic architecture of fungal morphology is an interconnected fungal
mycelium that gives rise to aerial hyphae. Initially, the fungal spore
germinates and forms a germ tube that accelerates in growth (see for instance,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref76">Köhli <italic>et al.</italic>
2008</xref>
) and differentiates into a prostrate hypha that extends
parallel to or penetrates into the agar substrate. After reaching a certain
length, a branch hypha forms behind a septum. Subsequently, hyphae branch away
from the substrate into the air. At first sight the aerial hyphae appear
similar to the hyphae adhering to the substrate (“substrate
hyphae”), but aerial hyphae must be different, as no nutrients can be
taken up directly by these cells, and therefore they are dependent on mycelium
in direct contact with the substrate for water and nutrients
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref50">Dijksterhuis 2010</xref>
). However,
aerial hyphae may play an important role in boosting the respiration of a
fungal colony (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref101">Rahardjo <italic>et al.</italic>
2002</xref>
), and therefore biomass and enzyme production
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">Te Biesebeke <italic>et al.</italic>
2006</xref>
). The aerial hyphae may form different types of fruiting
bodies and sexual spores (as the ascomata of the <italic>Eurotiales</italic>
, or
apothecia and perithecia in other groups of fungi) or other structures
eventually forming asexual spores for dispersion by water or air (see
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref81">van Leeuwen <italic>et al.</italic>
2010</xref>
). The latter structures can be very simple (as the simple
spore-releasing phialides in <italic>Fusarium</italic>
), or elaborate (as the ramified
structures from <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
and terverticillate <italic>Penicillia</italic>
)
or even closed pycnidial conidiomata that resemble ascomata.</p>
<p>Growth of the substrate hyphae in <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
was documented in a
number of cases at the margin of colonies (<italic>C. chalastosporoides, C. exile,
C. globisporum, C. perangustum</italic>
and <italic>C. scabrellum</italic>
). These hyphae
grew on the agar surface and penetrated into the agar. In several species the
hyphae differentiated relatively quickly into regularly segmented, broad
hyphae that gave rise to conidiophores (<italic>C. chalastosporoides, C.
cladosporioides, C. exasperatum, C. exile, C. globisporum, C. perangustum, C.
scabrellum</italic>
and <italic>C. verrucocladosporioides</italic>
). In other cases the
individual hyphal cells appeared swollen and pigmented, and were not
elongated. In <italic>C. acalyphae, C. asperulatum, C. chalastosporoides</italic>
and
<italic>C. perangustum</italic>
these cells developed into three-dimensional
“meristematic” or “parenchymatic” structures,
<italic>e.g.</italic>
in <italic>C. chalastosporoides,</italic>
they are the basis of the
structure of the fungal colony on which many conidiophores are formed (see
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig16">Fig. 16F–H</xref>
). These
structures are diagnostic for this species. <italic>Cladosporium perangustum</italic>
and <italic>C. chalastosporoides</italic>
exhibited both the segmented “broad
hyphae” type as well as the meristematic type of structures. In the
first species they appeared to co-exist, while in the second species the
hyphae were observed to fuse and form these elaborated structures. In <italic>C.
exasperatum</italic>
the segmented hyphae could also protrude above the agar
surface (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig28">Fig. 28H</xref>
). In
<italic>C. asperulatum</italic>
a scar was observed directly on the swollen cell of
the three-dimensional structure suggesting the potential of these cells to
form (ramo)conidia directly (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig9">Fig.
9J</xref>
).</p>
<p>These observations suggest that in the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
clade,
the substrate hyphal stage might be ephemeral, and quickly develops into
segmented, pigmented and/or meristematic structures on which conidiophores are
formed. There is clearly variation in the amount of hyphae present under these
growth conditions. For instance, <italic>C. acalyphae, C.
verrucocladosporioides</italic>
and <italic>C. asperulatum</italic>
form little of any
hyphae and only exhibit conidiophores sprouting from clumps of fungal cells.
In <italic>C. exile,</italic>
hyphae develop into a very regular segmented pattern,
and cells between certain “islands” disappear, presumable due to
lysis (apoptosis?), which is unique for this species in this study.</p>
<p>Aerial hyphae were observed in several species, but it is difficult to
predict if aerial structures will develop into stipes of conidiophores or if
they can be regarded as very elongated conidiophores (as with <italic>C.
exile</italic>
and <italic>C. perangustum</italic>
). <italic>Cladosporium exasperatum</italic>
produced structures that formed loops and anastomosed in mid air, while <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
formed numerous aerial hyphae with side branches.</p>
<p>The secondary ramoconidia and conidia of the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
clade are easily dislodged from the conidiophores during snap freezing, or as
a result of electrostatic forces expelled from the electron beam due to the
fragile connections that exist between the spores. This was more prominent
than with fungi of the <italic>C. herbarum</italic>
clade that are discussed in
Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">2007b</xref>
), and might suggest
that there is variation in the strength of the connection between the cells or
in other properties of the spores (as electrostatic properties of the conidial
cell wall) that result in different forces on these spores resulting in their
release.</p>
<p>Using microscopy, chains of conidia were observed to be intact, and it was
clear that these chains could extend to 7–8 or even more cells.
<italic>Cladosporium asperulatum</italic>
especially formed delicate, long chains
containing elongated spores. There is a marked variety in the shape of the
conidia, from nearly globose (very marked in <italic>C. globisporum</italic>
and also
<italic>C. exasperatum; C. scabrellum, C. perangustum</italic>
and <italic>C.
verrucocladosporioides</italic>
) to highly elongated (most extreme in <italic>C.
chalastosporoides</italic>
and to a lesser extent <italic>C. asperulatum</italic>
and
<italic>C. acalyphae</italic>
). The size of the conidium gradually diminishes
throughout the chain. If the conidia of a chain are only marginally connected
and no free cytoplasmic contact is possible, which is suggested by the
SEM-pictures, novel cells must have been formed from the nutrient sources
present in the former conidium. It might be hypothesised that there is a
maximal length of a chain based on the ability of the more terminal conidia to
obtain nutrients.</p>
<p>Novel for the species of the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
clade is the
reticular ornamentation or embossed stripes on the cell walls of conidia and
ramoconidia in most species. This is most prominent in <italic>C. acalyphae, C.
exile, C. verrucocladosporioides</italic>
and <italic>C.</italic>
<italic>exasperatum</italic>
as
well as the neotype of <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
in some micrographs
(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig19">Fig. 19H</xref>
). <italic>Cladosporium
chalastosporoides</italic>
did not exhibit ornamentation on the spores. The other
species had more subtle patterns present on the spores (especially <italic>C.
globisporum</italic>
has a delicate, but subtle ornamentation). The nature of this
ornamentation is not clear; it could be a mucus-like material. Conidiophores
or ramoconidia were in all cases more or less smooth structures. In general,
secondary ramoconidia are ornamented in <italic>C. acalyphae, C. exile, C.
perangustum, C. asperulatum</italic>
and <italic>C. exasperatum.</italic>
</p>
<p>Scars are prominent in all species and tend to be become increasingly
larger as their position in the conidial chain becomes progressively basal.
Ramoconidia and secondary ramoconidia can bear markedly wider scars (see for
example <italic>C. exile</italic>
, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig31">Fig.
31B</xref>
; <italic>C. perangustum</italic>
,
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig56">Fig. 56F</xref>
; <italic>C.
asperulatum</italic>
, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig9">Fig. 9I</xref>
).
They normally show a distinct rim and a more or less flattened dome.
<italic>Cladosporium exile, C. perangustum</italic>
and <italic>C. chalastosporoides</italic>
show notable scars but a precise analysis of these structures is complex due
to the differences between the cells.</p>
<p>During the development of the conidiophore its complexity increases and the
overall structure becomes obscured due to numerous branches and conidia. One
can ask how the conidiophores of <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
do develop when the
chains of conidia must have a restricted length (<italic>e.g.</italic>
eight cells?)
as a result of the lack of an open connection of cytoplasm that delivers
building blocks for the continuous production of new spores as is the case
within the genera <italic>Penicillium</italic>
and <italic>Aspergillus</italic>
. It has been
observed that conidiophores and spores are formed by <italic>C.
cladosporioides</italic>
within 24 h after seeding of spores (J. Dijksterhuis,
unpubl. data). This might indicate that rapid and abundant spore formation is
an important ecological strategy for this fungus.</p>
<p>When is a <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
conidiophore completed? Ramoconidia and to
a lesser extent secondary ramoconidia can be regarded as the powerhouses of
spore formation, because of their capability to give rise to four whorls of
“downstream” ramoconidia that each form several conidial chains.
<italic>Cladosporium perangustum, C. asperulatum</italic>
and <italic>C. scabrellum</italic>
form markedly long ramoconidia and it would be of interest to evaluate whether
these species form more spores than other species in the clade<italic>.
Cladosporium chalastosporoides</italic>
shows a characteristic way of chain
formation with short conidiophores originating from a mass of meristematic
cells. Here, the conidiophore and ramoconidia show a marked bend before
producing the last set of chains (whorl) of spores (see
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig16">Fig. 16A</xref>
). An overview of a
small colony of <italic>C. verrucocladosporioides</italic>
(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig74">Fig. 74A</xref>
) suggests that
continually more conidiophores are formed between older ones, which also leads
to a further increase in the number of spores.</p>
<p>Most species in this study were avid spore formers on the growth media
tested, and showed apparent differences in the stages of colony formation and
not only at the level of conidiophore morphology. Characteristic differences
appeared in the timing and appearance of formation and differentation of
substrate hyphae and aerial hyphae, including of segmented hyphae and
three-dimensional structures within the colony. Other marked differences were
observed in the formation of conidiophores, conidia and conidial
ornamentation.</p>
<p>Within the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
complex we failed to induce
<italic>Davidiella</italic>
teleomorphs as we successfully did in the <italic>C.
herbarum</italic>
complex. All <italic>Davidiella</italic>
states readily forming in the
latter complex were homothallic (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert
<italic>et al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
). In the absence of nettle stems we used
pine needles in the course of the present examinations, but it seems that they
are a less useful growth medium for inducing <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
teleomorphs. However, some members of the <italic>C. cladosporioides</italic>
complex
appear to have <italic>Davidiella</italic>
states. For instance, CBS strain
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.studiesinmycology.org/cgi/external_ref?access_num=109082&link_type=cbs">109082</ext-link>
represents
an ascospore isolate, collected on <italic>Silene maritima</italic>
, Skomer Island,
Pembrokeshire, Wales, U.K. by A. Aptroot, as <italic>Mycosphaerella tassiana</italic>
var. <italic>arthopyrenioides</italic>
. Morphologically the CBS strain is almost
indistinguishable from <italic>C. cladosporioides,</italic>
but represents one of the
unnamed, distinct lineages in the tree (<italic>C. cladosporioides s.lat</italic>
.
Lineage 3; see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1, part a</xref>

)
(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig77">Fig. 77</xref>
) is characterised by
numerous small, dark brown, submerged ascomata, 120–150 μm diam, with
a central periphysate ostiole, 5–10 μm diam. Asci are obovoid,
(25–)30–32(–35) × (8–)10–13(–14)
μm. Ascospores are fusoid-ellipsoidal, thick-walled, constricted at the
median septum, containing angular lumina
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">Aptroot 2006</xref>
), turning brown
once discharged, and some contain remnants of a mucoid layer,
(10–)11–13(–14) × (3–)3.5(–4) μm. With
this knowledge in mind, recent collections have revealed <italic>Davidiella</italic>
states for other taxa in the <italic>cladosporioides</italic>
complex (P.W. Crous,
unpubl. data). They have thus far largely been overlooked, as the ascomata are
usually submerged, around 100 μm in diameter, and thus rather inconspicuous
compared to the erumpent, large ascomata observed in the <italic>herbarum</italic>
complex (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
). The fact that the <italic>cladosporioides</italic>
clade includes
taxa with a sexual cycle could help explain all the cryptic lineages observed
in the present study. Further studies assessing whether these fungi are
heterothallic or homothallic, using molecular-based tools to determine the
nature and presence of mating genes may help to resolve these issues.</p>
<p>Several isolates from a single substrate in a single location –
chasmothecia of <italic>Phyllactinia guttata</italic>
on leaves of an individual
plant, <italic>Corylus avellana</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref53">Dugan
& Glawe 2006</xref>
; <xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl1">Table
1</xref>
) were distributed in distinct and widely separated clusters
throughout the tree, and represent several completely different species,
including the new species <italic>Cladosporium exile</italic>
and <italic>C.
phyllactiniicola</italic>
. Other strains clustered with isolates of <italic>C.
cladosporioides, C. inversicolor, C. lycoperdinum</italic>
or <italic>C.
perangustum</italic>
. Most of these isolates from chasmothecia had previously been
assigned to <italic>C. uredinicola</italic>
on the basis of morphology (“fairly
variable” in <italic>C. uredinicola</italic>
) and host (powdery mildew) by keys
and descriptions in Heuchert <italic>et al</italic>
.
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref69">2005</xref>
). Two other isolates,
already included in analysis of the <italic>C. herbarum</italic>
complex, proved to be
conspecific with <italic>C. macrocarpum</italic>
and <italic>C. tenellum</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref124">Schubert <italic>et al.</italic>
2007b</xref>
), consistent with a prior determination
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref53">Dugan & Glawe 2006</xref>
). That
isolates previously identified as <italic>C. uredinicola</italic>
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref53">Dugan & Glawe 2006</xref>
; and
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.studiesinmycology.org/cgi/external_ref?access_num=306.84&link_type=cbs">CBS 306.84</ext-link>
) should
be more accurately identified in this study by molecular-genetic criteria is
not so surprising. Although our putatively representative material (CPC 5390)
is now well characterised (here, and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref70">Ho
<italic>et al</italic>
. 1999</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref92">Morgan-Jones & McKemy
1990</xref>
), Spegazzini's type material of <italic>C. uredinicola</italic>
is in
poor condition (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref69">Heuchert <italic>et al</italic>
.
2005</xref>
) and further work, including designation of a neotype, may be
necessary. However, that so many taxa should be recovered from a single host
(one powdery mildew species) from an individual plant is quite unexpected.
There are alternative explanations for the wide range of taxa isolated from
these chasmothecia. Use of disinfectants (ethanol, sodium hypochlorite) on
objects as small as chasmothecia is problematic (often rendering internal
fungi nonviable), so detached chasmothecia were “cleaned” by
forcing them through solid agar for 4–5 cm for removal of spores or
hyphae adhering to the chasmothecial surface
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref53">Dugan & Glawe 2006</xref>
).
Perhaps not all conidia or hyphae adherent to the chasmothecial surface were
removed by this method. However, microscopic examination revealed growth of
<italic>Cladosporium</italic>
hyphae inside penicillate cells of the chasmothecia, or
inside the accompanying gelatinous matrix
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref53">Dugan & Glawe 2006</xref>
).
Sometimes hyphae egressed this matrix to sporulate
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref53">Dugan & Glawe 2006</xref>
). Kiss
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref75">2003</xref>
) also noted growth of
<italic>Cladosporium</italic>
spp. inside penicillate cells, and discussed impacts on
chasmothecial function. The gelatinous matrix probably readily entraps conidia
and provides a hospitable environment for growth of multiple
<italic>Cladosporium</italic>
species, all components of the aerobiota. The aerobiota
comprises numerous genera of fungi, so it remains to be answered why only
species in <italic>Cladosporium</italic>
were observed in penicillate cells and matrix
by Kiss (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref75">2003</xref>
) and Dugan &
Glawe (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref53">2006</xref>
). The phenomenon
of co-occurrence of many species on the same lesions on a single host in
<italic>Mycosphaerella</italic>
and <italic>Teratosphaeria</italic>
leaf disease complexes has
been frequently described and discussed
(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">Crous 1998</xref>
