Biochemical importance of the genus, chemical diversity or applications

The chemical application of Cyclodothis has not been studied. Fresh cultures are needed for further studies.

 

Diversity of the genus

Cyclodothis comprises two species. The distribution of C. pachysandrae cannot be located.  C. pulchella was found on leaf spots of Piper celtidiforme (Piperaceae) in Philippines. Many other regions have never been studied for the genus. Cyclodothis is still only poorly understood.
