Colletotrichum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colletotrichum (sexual stage: Glomerella) is a genus of fungi that are obligate symbionts to plants in the form of endophytes. Many of the species in this genus are plant pathogens, although some species may express a mutualistic life-style in non-disease hosts.[1]
