Figure Fig. 1 5-day-old colony on PDA Fig. 2 Setophoma sp. 14136. a. Sporulation on OA. b. Pycnidia. c. Pycnidial wall. d. Conidiogenous cells. i. Conidia(Bars= 5 μm, unless otherwise specified)
Colonies Colonies on PDA attaining 19-mm at 25 °C after 5 days, white to pale brown, slightly wrinkled, margin entire, reverse dark brown near the center, paler towards the margin, with diffusing brown pigment.
Pycnidia Pycnidia not observed on PDA. Pycnidia present on OA after 3 wks, globose to subglobose, dark olivaceous brown, superfical or submerged, ostiolate, setose around the ostiole, up to 300 µm diam.
Conidiogenous cells Conidiogenous cells phialidic, flask-shaped, hyaline, 4–6.5 × 2.5–5.0 μm.
Conidia Conidia wet, hyaline, cream-colored in mass, ellipsoidal or ovoid, often guttulate, 3.0–5.0 × 2.0–3.0 µm (avg. 4.17 × 2.40 µm)
Note Strain 14136 shares 99.80 and 99.80% identities in ITS and LSU regions with the ex-type strain of Setophoma poaceicola (MFLUCC 16-0880; KY568988, KY550386).
However, in the original description, only sexual reproduction on the leaf of grass was observed. The colony morphology is also significantly different. The colonies of Setophoma poaceicola MFLUCC 16-0880 are dark brown, but the colonies of strain 14136 are white to light brown.
