Pleosporaceae Nitschke

Remarks.

The family Pleosporaceae was introduced by Nitschke (1869) and is the largest family of the order Pleosporales ( Hyde et al. 2013; Ariyawansa et al. 2015b; Liu et al. 2017). Members of this family can be endophytes, aquatic or terrestrial saprobes, plant pathogens or opportunistic animal pathogens ( Sivanesan 1984; Carter and Boudreaux 2004). A backbone tree for Pleosporaceae was provided by Ariyawansa et al. (2015a). In this study, Alternaria burnsii is reported from a Pandanus sp. host in Thailand.
