Importance and role
Importance of genus to ecosystem
Species of Pseudoanungitea are saprobic and are involved in nutrient recycling in the ecosystem.
Industrial relevance and applications
The industrial applications of Pseudoanungitea has not been investigated.
Quarantine significance
The biocontrol properties of Pseudoanungitea has not been reported.
Biochemical importance of the genus, chemical diversity or applications
The chemical application of Pseudoanungitea has not been studied. This warrants further studies.
Diversity of the genus
Pseudoanungitea consists of only two species known on Syzygium cordatum (Myrtaceae) in South Africa, Mpumalanga and Vaccinium myrtillus (Ericaceae) in Germany. Pseudoanungitea is still poorly studies. Wide-ranging studies are needed to discover more species of Pseudoanungitea.
