e0“Isolation was successfully achieved through a phased liquid-to-solid transition: symptomatic leaf fragments were initially cultivated in liquid Trebouxia medium under constant agitation (120 rpm) for 3 days, followed by the subculturing of algal mycelium onto Trebouxia agarized medium to obtain pure colonies of isolate H-27-03.”

- Method / resource Direct isolation on the tested solid substrates failed.
- Intervention effect Surface disinfestation enhanced algal development relative to untreated fragments.
- Method / resource Sequence analysis identified the alga as Cephaleuros virescens at greater than 98% identity.
- Observation The authors report C. virescens causing leaf spot on K. ivorensis in the Brazilian Cerrado for the first time.
