“…were among the most frequently isolated basidiomycete fungi from discoloured wood of living Acacia hybrid stems. S. commune is often considered a saprot basidiomycete (Schmidt, 2006;Takemoto, Nakamura, Imamura, & Shimane, 2010) but is also described as a saprobe (Nicolotti, Martinis, & Tamietti, 1998;Padhiar, Albert, Nagadesi, & Arya, 2010), associated with sapwood rot or heart rot in more than 70 species of landscape trees including acacia, eucalypt, ash and tamarind (Hickman, Perry, & Davis, 2011). This fungus is also recognized as a cause of heart rot (Oprea, Sesan, & Balan, 1994;Visarathononth, 1990 The number of Ascomycete OTUs identified from direct DNA extracts was 1.6-fold higher than that of Basidiomycete fungus taxa, almost half of which were yeasts and not regarded as significant in wood decay processes.…”
