Importance and role
Importance of genus to ecosystem
Species of Mycerema are epiphytic. They seem to cause marketability problems, due to the black hyphae coating the surface of plants (Hongsanan et al. 2016). They can also cause chlorosis under the hyphae (Chomnunti et al. 2014).
Industrial relevance and applications
There are currently no industrial applications of Mycerema.
Quarantine significance
No biocontrol use has been reported from Mycerema.
Biochemical importance of the genus, chemical diversity or applications
The chemical diversity of Mycerema is unknown.
Diversity of the genus
Mycerema comprises only one species known on leaves of Vochysiaceae in Brazil.
