Each isolate of the two groups had the spore of cylindrical
shape. The size of the spore was almost similar for every isolate
of the two groups. Isolates of the two groups can’t be differentiated
based on growth rate and sporulation rate. Growth rate
for Group I C. gloeosporioides isolates ranged from 64 mm/d
to 13 mm/d. In Group II C. gloeosporioides isolates, the
growth rate also ranged from 54 mm/d to 13 mm/d. Rate of
sporulation of each isolate was also quite varied for the two
groups (Table 1).
