Importance and distribution
Chaetasbolisia comprises seven species known on Chrysophyllum sp. (Sapotaceae), Lithocarpus densiflorus (Fagaceae), Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae), Miconia sp. (Melastomataceae), Petitia domingensis (Lamiaceae), Polystichum munitum (Dryopteridaceae), Polystichum sp. (Dryopteridaceae), Psidium guajava (Myrtaceae), Rhamnus purshiana (Rhamnaceae), Sequoia sempervirens (Cupressaceae), Umbellularia (Lauraceae), Vismia baccifera (Hypericaceae), Woodwardia radicans (Blechnaceae) amongst others. Chaetasbolisia is recorded from Asia (Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, India), Caribbean (Cuba, Puerto Rico), South Brazil and the United States (California, Virgin Islands, West Indies). Some taxa are sooty molds for example, Chaetasbolisia microglobulosa (Tsatsia and Grahame 1997).
Industrial relevance and applications
Chaetasbolisia is useful to the medical and pharmaceutical industry as it produces arterialization-inhibiting agent (Shibata et al. 2009) and synthetic analogue of Fumagillin which is an antimicrobial agent against malaria (Justia 2021).
Biochemical importance of the genus, chemical diversity or applications
Chaetasbolisia produces wide range of chemicals such as angiogenesis inhibitors (Otsuka et al. 1992), arterialization-inhibiting agent for example, an antiulcer agent containing FR-901448 substance and FR-901449 (Shibata et al. 2009), WF-16775AI and A2, which are synthetic analogue of fumagillin (Justia 2021) amongst others.
