“…It was concluded that strain K-76 belongs to Eumycota, Deuteromycotina, Hyphomycetes, Phialosporae, Stachybotrys according to the taxonomic system of Ainsworth (1,4,5,7,12,17,37,38,40,42). The strain was compared with the various type strains of Stachybotrys (Tables 1 and 2), and seemed to be most similar to S. chartarum (S. lobulata) IFO 5369, because its phialospores were oval or ellipsoidal and had rough or warty protrusions.…”
