Culture characteristics.

Colonies on PDA (Figure 2, PE26), superficial, white-orange to cream, circular, entire edge, smooth, flossy, velvety and raised on surface media; reverse yellow-white at the margin and yellow-brown in centre. Not sporulating in culture.

GenBank numbers.

Notes.

Alternaria burnsii was introduced by Uppal et al. (1938) from India on Cumnium cyminum . This species has a close phylogenetic relationship with Alternaria tomato and A. jacinthicola ( Woudenberg et al. 2015). Results from phylogenetic analysis show that the authors’ collection belongs to Alternaria burnsii with a relatively high bootstrap support (89% in ML) (Figure 11). Nucleotides across the ITS regions of Alternaria burnsii CBS 108.27 and the isolates were compared and the authors noted that they are identical.
