Alternaria arborescens and Alternaria angustiovoidea, two new additions to soil fungi of Egypt
Journal Title: Journal of Multidisciplinary Sciences - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
In the current study, eight new recorded isolates related to the genus Alternaria, section Alternata were isolated from soil, sorghum, and wheat grains in Assiut Governorate, Egypt. Morphological characteristics, in addition to DNA sequence analysis revealed their identity as Alternaria arborescens (2 isolates) and A. angustiovoidea (6 isolates). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first record of these species in Egypt. The two genetically identified strains of both species were deposited in the culture collection of Assiut University Mycological Centre with accession numbers of A. arborescens AUMC 14106 and A. angustiovoidea AUMC 14107. Sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene of the two strains were uploaded to Gen Bank with accession numbers A. arborescens MN240306 and A. angustiovoidea MN242398.
