CHARACTERIZATION OF FUSARIUM SPECIES FROM SECTION LISEOLA ISOLATED IN CROATIAKeywords: Fusarium , Liseola , characteristics , different hosts Abstract: Fusarium species from section Liseola play an important role in disease etiology of wheat, barley and maize. F. moniliforme, F. subglutinans and F. proliferatum were isolated during seven year period at several locations in Eastern Croatia and from different hosts. The mycelium development of 6 isolates of F. moniliforme, 3 isolates of F. subglutinans and 3 isolates of F. proliferatum was cultered during an eight day period on water agar, PDA, Bilai, Czapek's and CLA agar at temperatures 5°, 15°, 20°, 25° and 30°C and a 12 hour dark/light regime. The results show that agar medium only insignificantly affected diameter of colonies, and that all isolates developed well on all media. After an 8-day period, at the temperature of 25oC, all examined isolates filled out the Petri dish. The most abundant mycelium was developed on PDA, a weaker one on Bilai medium, and the weakest one on CLA medium and water agar. Sporulation of examined species was abundant on all media.
