ABSTRACT

Ulocladium subcucurbitae, and Ulocladium tuberculatum, as well as 25 unassigned species [1].

As saprophytes inhabiting the soil and decaying herbaceous plants, Ulocladium spp. are widely distributed in nature and have been isolated from paper, textiles, and wood. Although often considered as contaminants, some Ulocladium spp. (e.g., Ulocladium chartarum, Ulocladium botrytis, and Ulocladium atrum) are occasionally implicated in human disease process, causing subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis, onychomycosis, keratitis, and other infections.
