Fig. 5. Split decomposition of the <strong>Cladosporium</strong> herbarum complex using SplitsTree of 16–22 unique alleles obtained from 79 <strong>Cladosporium</strong> isolates for four loci. <strong>The</strong> star-like<br />

structures suggest clonal development. A = ACT, B = CAL, C = HIS, D = EF. Scale bars = 0.01 nucleotide substitutions per site.<br />

Taxonomy<br />

Key to the <strong>Cladosporium</strong> species treated<br />

Morphological features used in the key to distinguish the species treated in this study were determined after 7 d growth at 25 ºC on SNA using<br />

light microscopy, <strong>and</strong> cultural characteristics after 14 d incubation on PDA.<br />

1. Conidia usually smooth, rarely minutely verruculose ..................................................................... C. cladosporioides (species complex)<br />

1. Conidia with different surface ornamentation, minutely to distinctly verruculose, verrucose to echinulate or spiny<br />

.................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2<br />

2. Conidiophores uniform, macronematous; conidia solitary, sometimes formed in short unbranched chains .............................................. 3<br />

2. Conidiophores both macronematous <strong>and</strong> micronematous; conidia always catenate, usually formed in branched chains<br />
