SOME SPECIES OF CLADOSPORIUM FROM JAPAN
Wataro YAMAMOTO
Although a number of species belonging to the
genus Cladosporium have been recorded from Japan,
their descriptions are generally too short and too
vague' for their identification: and the figures often
do not show the essential details of their structure.
In order to confirm Jap:mese species of the genus,
the author collected m3.ny Cladosporium fungi at
various localities in' the provinces of Tamba, Settsu
and Kawachi. These fungi were isohted by a
single spore isolation method, and cultured on the
culture media such as CZ3.pek's solution agar, malt
exstract agar and onion decoction agar.
From the results of studies m3.de on the morphological and cultural characteristics, they could
be classified into six species-Cladosporium herbarum LINK ex FRIES, Cladosporium sphaerospermum PENZIG, Cladosporium cladosporioides
(FRES.) de VRIES and three new species. The present paper deals with the diagD.osis of these species.
The m3.ny type cultures Cladosporium spp. were
kindly supplied by Dr. K. MINOURA (Oslka University) and Dr. T. HASEGAWA (Institute for Fermentation, OS3.ka). The author wishes to express his
sincere gratitude to them. The type cultures of
six species mentioned above are kept in the Institute
for Fermentation. Osaka, the Deplrtment of, Fermentation Technology, Osaka University and the
Laboratory of Phnt Pathology and Mycology, Hyogo
University of Agriculture.
