I need your help to confirm the identification of this fungus? Botrytis cinerea!
Add more picture for the culture on petri dish also a good picture for the microscopic slid, it look like Aspergillus sp
Oadi Matny and Mukwa Fama Tongo Lyna Pathogenic structure of the picture looks like Aspergillus also. But it could be Botrytis cinerea. Mohammed Djelilate Mohammed please provide us with some good pictures and the source of sample collection. Then identification of this pathogen will be accurate.
Thank you all.
Add the culture on petri dish...for me also looks like Aspergillus
It is certainly not B. cinerea. I attach my picture of B. cinerea. Maybe it's Aspergillus sp. but I am not sure.
I think your isolate is Aspergillus sp. Howerver, to identify at species level you need to do DNA sequence. Morphological identification maybe accurate just at genus scale.
I agree with Phung Manh Hung. DNA sequencing will provide accurate identification of the pathogen
It is better to provide a pic for the petri plate, so the final identification becomes accurate
The fungus is question is definitely a Botrytis sp. I am not sure though, that it is indeed B. cinereal.
Oops, I was commenting on Franci's image, not on the one shown on top.
That one though, does not have the usually spherical conidial head found with Aspergillus spp. Based on the overall appearance of that image, the pathogen could even be a Rhizopus sp.
Thank you for your answers this imperfect fungus is isolated from the green bean
if he is Aspergillus !!
is it possible that it attacks the green bean?
Not mention from which part of Green gram, pathogen isolated. Even picture shown is not clear. We can't imagine as Aspergillus unless whole history of pathogen known. In case of Botrytis grapes like sporangia seen.
thank you for your reply Dr. Purushottam Khetri Ramteke
here is another microscopic observation
THIS FUNGUS IS NOT AN ASPERGILLUS SP., BECAUSE THE CONIDOPHORE HEAD IS NOT VESICULAR
