Abstract:
Taxonomic markers for differentiation of the anamorph genera Aureobasidium, Hormonema and Kabatiella were developed using PCR-ribotyping with the primers 5.8S-R and LR7 for amplification and the restriction enzymes Alul, Ddel, Hhal, Mspl and Rsal for digestion. Aureobasidium and Hormonema are optimally differentiated with Mspl; Ddel is particularly useful to distinguish Aureobasidium, Kabatiella and Selenophoma. Relationships of the anamorph genera Aureobasidium, Hormonema and Kabatiella with the teleomorph genera Pringsheimia and Dothiora are discussed.
