Abstract:
Diagnostic criteria for the distinction of the slightly osmophilic species, Aureobasidium pullulans, and the opportunistic pathogen on conifers, Hormonema dematiodies, are provided. Reliable identification requires a combination of characters of conidiogenesis, expansion growth and assimilative abilities. Relationships with species of Kabatiella, and with the teleomorph genera Pringsheimia, Dothidea and Dothiora, all having Dothiora, all having Hormonemia-like cultural states, are discussed. An identification key is provided.
