Abstract

Allophoma brasiliensis J.L.V.R. Carvalho, J.D.P. Bezerra & Souza-Motta is reported for the first time as endophyte from leaves of Capsicum annuum L. (Solanaceae) isolated in an agricultural site from Brazilian Atlantic Forest. For species determination, morphological characters were analysed along with a multigene analysis performed using the ITS region of the rDNA, the partial large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (LSU rRNA), the partial second largest subunit of the RNA polymerase II gene subunit (rpb2), and the partial β–tubulin gene (tub2). A key to Allophoma Qian Chen & L. Cai species is provided. This new record contributes to the global fungal diversity, indicating a new geographical distribution, and a new lifestyle.
