Fungiwere classified according to their macroscopic and microscopic
features and by molecular analysis. Genomic DNAwas extracted from
mycelium, following the protocol of Graham et al. (1994), and a
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed. For the genera
Cladosporium and Alternaria, the actin gene (Bensch et al., 2012) and
the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (Berbee et al.,
1999) were amplified, respectively. For both Penicillium and Aspergillus
genera the β-tubulin gene was amplified (Glass and Donaldson, 1995).
For all the other genera and sterile mycelia the ITS1-5,8S-ITS2 region
was used for PCR amplification (White et al., 1990). Strainswere deposited
at theMycothecaUniversitatis Taurinensis(MUT) of theUniversity of
Turin. Sequences were registered in GenBank database.
