- Observation Aureobasidium pullulans was reported as the cause of brown spot needle blight on Pinus thunbergii in China, a first report.
- Observation The needle blight incidence in surveyed pine was less than 30%, indicating mild severity.
- Observation The fungal colonies appeared white to cream and yeast-like on PDA.
- Observation Conidia were hyaline, smooth-walled, single-celled and ellipsoidal, 7.5 to 16 × 3.5 to 7 µm.
- Observation ITS sequences of the isolate showed 100% similarity with Aureobasidium pullulans in BLAST.
- Observation Beta-tubulin sequences of the isolate showed 99.49% similarity with Aureobasidium pullulans in BLAST.
- Observation Aureobasidium pullulans was reisolated from the lesions, confirming Koch's postulates.
