Table 1. Fungal taxa associated with bark microsites in coffee bushes and shade trees according to an indicator species analysis.
Only taxa that were classified to genus and species are shown.
Microsite | Taxon | Description |
---|---|---|
CTw | A: Glomerellales, Colletotrichum gigasporum | Genus globally distributed, on various plants as epiphyte, saprobe, endophyte and pathogen. It has been reported on coffee (Douanla-Meli & Unger, 2017). |
