Fig. 1 Dothiorella sarmentorum (MFLU 17-2497). a, b Appearance of conidiomata on the host surface. c Vertical section through conidioma. d–f Conidia developing on conidiogenous cells. g–j Conidia. k Culture characteristics on MEA. Scale bars: a = 1000 μm, b = 500 μm, c, g–j = 10 μm, d–f = 20 μm.

Importance and distribution

Several compounds such as bioactive cytosporone derivatives (Zeng et al. 2019), octaketide, cytosporone B, which show cytotoxic activities (Xu et al. 2004), have been reported from Dothiorella sp.

 

Biochemical importance of the genus, chemical diversity or applications

Xu et al. (2004) reported octaketide, cytosporone B from an endophytic Dothiorella sp. HTF3. which have cytotoxic activities. Reveglia et al. (2018) isolated phytotoxic phenols and 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-isopropoxyphenol from D. vidmadera. Zheng et al. (2019) reported bioactive cytosporone derivatives isolated from the Dothiorella sp. ML002 in mangrove.

 

There are 316 records of Dothiorella in Index Fungorum (2022), but several species have been transferred to Botryodiplodia, Coniothyrium, Fusicoccum, Hyponectria, Idiocercus, Leptodothiorella, Macrophoma, Macrophomina, Phyllosticta, Pleurostromella and Sphaeropsis. Dothiorella comprises 257 species known on a wide range of host such as Acer palmatum (Sapindaceae), Agave sisalana (Asparagaceae), Alhagi maurorum (Fabaceae), Asimina triloba (Annonaceae), Banksia integrifolia (Proteaceae), Eucalyptus globulus (Myrtaceae), Persea americana (Lauraceae), Phragmites karka (Poaceae), Quercus (Fagaceae) and Vitis sp. (Vitaceae). Dothiorella is reported from Asia (China, India, Pakistan), Australia, Europe (France, Poland, Romania, Switzerland), North America (Canada, The United States), South Africa and South America (Argentina).
