Fig. 14. <strong>Cladosporium</strong> herbaroides (CPC 12052). A–B, D. Macronematous conidiophores. C. Conidial chain. E. Micronematous conidiophore. F. Microcyclic conidiogenesis. G.<br />

Conidia formed by micronematous conidiophores. Scale bars = 10 µm.<br />

Cultural characteristics: Colonies on PDA attaining 23 mm diam<br />

after 14 d at 25 ºC, grey-olivaceous to olivaceous, olivaceous-grey<br />

reverse, velvety, margin regular, entire edge, narrow, feathery, aerial<br />

mycelium abundantly formed, loose, with age covering large parts<br />

of the colony, woolly, growth flat with somewhat elevated colony<br />

centre, folded, regular, deep into the agar, with few prominent<br />

exudates, sporulation profuse. Colonies on MEA attaining 24 mm<br />

diam after 14 d at 25 ºC, grey- to greenish olivaceous, olivaceousgrey<br />

or iron-grey reverse, velvety to powdery, margin narrow,<br />

colourless, entire edge, somewhat feathery, aerial mycelium pale<br />

olivaceous-grey, sparse, growth convex, radially furrowed, folded<br />

in the colony centre, without prominent exudates, sporulating.<br />

Colonies on OA attaining 23 mm diam after 14 d at 25 ºC, greyolivaceous,<br />

margin more or less regular, entire edge, colourless,<br />

somewhat feathery, aerial mycelium whitish to smoke grey, at first<br />

sparse, later more abundantly formed, growth flat, without exudates,<br />

sporulation profuse.<br />

Specimen examined: Israel, from hypersaline water of Eilat salterns, 2004, coll.<br />

N. Gunde-Cimerman, isol. M. Ota, <strong>CBS</strong>-H 19858, holotype, isotype HAL 2025 F,<br />

culture ex-type <strong>CBS</strong> 121626 = EXF-1733 = CPC 12052.<br />

Substrate <strong>and</strong> distribution: Hypersaline water; Israel.<br />

Notes: <strong>Cladosporium</strong> herbaroides is morphologically <strong>similar</strong> to C.<br />

herbarum but differs in having somewhat longer conidia becoming<br />

wider, darker <strong>and</strong> even more thick-walled with age [at first conidia<br />

3–33 × (2–)3–6(–7) µm, with age (3.5–)5–9(–11) µm wide]. Besides<br />

that, the species often produces a second conidial type formed on<br />

micronematous conidiophores, giving rise to unbranched conidial<br />

chains which are almost filiform, limoniform, narrowly fusiform to<br />

subcylindrical, much narrower <strong>and</strong> paler than the ones formed by<br />

macronematous conidiophores, 10–26(–35) × 2–3.5 µm. In C.<br />

herbarum, conidia formed by micronematous conidiophores do not<br />

occur as frequently as in C. herbaroides, <strong>and</strong> differ in being often<br />

clavate <strong>and</strong> somewhat wider, up to 4(–5) µm wide. <strong>Cladosporium</strong><br />

macrocarpum is easily distinguishable by having somewhat wider<br />

conidiophores (3–)4–6 µm, with distinctly wider swellings, 5–10 µm<br />

wide, <strong>and</strong> the conidia are usually (3–)5–9(–10) µm wide.<br />
