a 100% bootstrap value and low intraspecific diversity (Figure 9). Phyllosticta
capitalensis is a common endophyte found in a large number of plants
(presently described in >70 plant families) distributed worldwide (Glienke et
al. 2011).


Figure 10. Bayesian phylogenetic tree based on ITS sequence, showing the
relationships between the species of Neofusicoccum and Pseudofusicoccum genera.
The tree is rooted with Botryosphaeria dothidea sequence obtained from GenBank.
Scale bar shows 2 changes and Bayesian posterior probability values are indicated at
the nodes.


Botryosphaeriaceae
In the phylogenetic analysis strains LGMF1122 and LGMF1118 grouped
with Pseudofusicoccum stromaticum, whereas the isolate LGMF1116
clustered with Neofusicoccum brasiliense type strain (Figure 10). Both
Pseudofusicoccum and Neofusicoccum belong to Botryosphaeriaceae family,
and they were recently separated from the genus Fusicoccum based on
morphological differences in their conidia and molecular sequences (Crous
