This fungus was identified based on the analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the nuclear ribosomal ITS1-5.8-ITS2 region (630 bp amplicon). The analysis of DNA sequence similarity among sequences lodged in GenBank revealed that the ITS region of C11 have a 97% homology to that of C. globosum reference strains (GenBank accession numbers KJ472923). Fig. 2 presents the phylogenetic dendrogram obtained for this strain.
