Abstract

Cladosporium isolates, which are morphologically similar to C. sphaerospermum were phylogenetically analyzed on the basis of DNA sequences and of the ribosomal RNA (the internal transcribed spacer regions ITS1 and ITS 2, the 5.8 S rDNA (ITS)). Six analyzed isolates have found to represent three species of C. sphaerospermum complex. Cladosporium halotolerans and C. psyhrotolerans are for the first time recorded for Ukraine.
