Abstract
Sixteen cercosporoid and ramularioid species belonging to nine genera are reported from Yedigöller
National Park, Bolu Province, Türkiye. The species were identified based on conventional methods. Of
these, Cercospora datiscicola, Cercospora mercurialis, Filiella pastinacae, Pseudocercospora
sambucigena, Ramularia linaria, and Ramularia sphaeroidea are new records for Türkiye mycobiota.
The description of the new recorded species are presented and discussed with their macro and
micromorphological photographs.

INTRODUCTION
Genera of phytopathogenic hyphomyceteous fungi with
relationship to Mycosphaerellaceae, such as Cercospora
Fresen., Cercosporella Sacc., Passalora Fr., Ramularia
Unger etc., show high morphological diversity in contrast
to their teleomorphs (Kirschner 2009) and cause typical
leaf spot, necrosis and chlorosis in a broad host range,
including many cultivars. Some species may develop
almost without symptoms (e.g., Cercosporella hypoestis
Hansf.), attack stems, or cause foot-rot (e.g., Ramulispora
herpotrichoides (Fron) v. Arx). A few species are
hyperparasitic (e.g. Ramularia coleosporii Sacc.). They
also have the potential to be used as biocontrol agents of
weeds (Braun et al. 2016).
Yedigöller National Park, which has seven lakes and
numerous streams, is situated in the Bolu Province in
Türkiye. According to Emberger’s climate classification,
the region is of the type having a semi-arid, upper, cold
winters Mediterranean climate of daily and seasonal
photoperiodism. This indicates that summer precipitation
is little in this region; vegetation is under the effect of the
summer drought, and the precipitation regime is Eastern
Mediterranean precipitation regime Type 1.
The research area mainly consists of mixed forest
vegetation. At lower elevations, it is covered by Fagus
orientalis Lipsky, Carpinus orientalis Mill. subsp.
orientalis, some Quercus L. species, Cornus mas L., Corylus
colurna L., Sorbus aucuparia L., Sambucus nigra L., Acer
campestre L., Acer platanoides L., Alnus glutinosa (L.)
Gaertn. Regions at upper elevations are covered with

Gymnospermae, such as Abies nordmanniana (Steven)
Spach, Pinus nigra J.F.Arnold, Pinus sylvestris L., and Taxus
baccata L. Under parts of forest-covered shrubs such as
Rhododendron ponticum L., Daphne pontica L., and
Juniperus oxycedrus L. The research area has some
marshy habitats; the aquatic plants are growing in the
lake (like Lemna L. sp., and Potamageton L. sp.), and
marsh plants are growing in near the lake (like Carex L.
ssp., Lythrum L. sp., and Typha L. sp.).
The purpose of the current study is to determine the
phytopathogenic hyphomycetes of Yedigöller National
Park and make a contribution to mycobiota of Türkiye.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Specimens of fungi were collected from Yedigöller
National Park in Bolu Province of Türkiye between 2018
and 2021. The Flora of Türkiye and the East Aegean
Islands was used to identify the host plants (Davis 1965–
85). A Leica DM E light microscope was used to examine
and measure the preparations prepared from the host
tissue. A Leica EZ4D stereo microscope was used for
close-up photos of infected host surfaces. Taxa were
identified using relevant literature (Vassilevskiy and
Karakulin 1950, Esfandiari 1951, Chupp 1954, Vimba
1970, Şvartsman et al. 1975, Deighton 1976, Ellis and Ellis
1987, Braun 1995, 1998, Braun and Melnik 1997, Braun
and Crous 2005, Bakalova and Borisova 2010, Pirnia et al.
2010, Bensch et al. 2012, Crous et al. 2013, Świderska-
Burek 2015, Heydari et al. 2017).
For scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infected leaves
bearing conidiophores and/or conidia were mounted on
stubs with double-sided tapes. They were coated with
gold in Polaron SC 502 Sputter Coater and examined with
Jeol JSM 6060 SEM at 5‒10 kV in the Gazi University,
Faculty of Science.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
During our study in Yedigöller National Park on
determining the microfungi on vascular plants, we
collected several phytopathogenic hyphomycetes species
that cause foliar spots. Some of the microfungus species
determined in this study, such as Cercospora datiscicola
Esfand, Cercospora mercurialis Pass., Filiella pastinacae
(P. Karst.) Videira & Crous, Pseudocercospora
sambucigena U. Braun, Crous & K. Schub., Ramularia
linaria Baudyš & Picb. and Ramularia sphaeroidea Sacc.,
were the first records for Türkiye. The list of microfungi
with their descriptions (for new records only), host plants,
localities, habitats, collection dates, and voucher
numbers were presented below according to the
systematics given in Index Fungorum (Kirk 2023).

This fungus was reported in Armenia (Braun and Melnik
1997, Crous and Braun 2003), and Iran (Esfandiari 1951,
Chupp 1953). Although the specimen of Cercospora
datiscicola collected from Yedigöller area is
morphologically similar to descriptions made by Braun
and Melnik (1997), Esfandiari (1951), and Chupp (1953),
it differed slightly, especially in terms of conidia size and
number of septa: 30–100 × 4–5 μm and (2)3–7(9) septate
(Braun and Melnik 1997); 32–85 × 4–5 μm and 2–7 rarely
8–9 septate (Esfandiari 1951); 30–90 × 4–5 μm and 2–9

continuous conidiophores, while Braun and Melnik (1997)
cite continuous or sparsely septate conidiophores. The
specimen collected in Türkiye had amphigenous
caespituli and continuous or sparsely septate
conidiophores.

It was reported from Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, England,
Greece, Iran, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Scotland,
Russia, Spain, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom (Farr and
Rossman 2020). The Turkish specimen Cercospora
mercurialis morphologically fits to literature (Chupp 1954,
Pirnia et al. 2010, Świderska-Burek 2015, Heydari et al.
2017), but the conidiophores of Turkish members are not
branched (Chupp 1954, Świderska-Burek 2015), while
those reported by Pirnia et al. (2010) and Heydari et al.
(2017) dichotomously branched in the upper part.

Filiella was introduced to accommodate

since it is not congeneric with Pseudocercosporella s. str.

Deighton (Videira et al. 2016).
Filiella pastinacae was originally described on Pastinaca
sativa L. from Finland, but it can infect various Apiaceous
hosts worldwide. The Turkish specimen Filiella pastinacae
morphologically fits to literature (Braun 1995, Bakalova
and Borisova 2010, Videira et al. 2016), but conidia are
slightly narrower and shorter.

It was originally described on Lotus uliginosus Schkuhr but
later is able to infect Fabaceae members in the world (Videira

descriptions concerning the morphology of caespituli,
conidiophores, and conidia, the only observable difference
being in the size of conidia and conidiophores. Braun (1998)
described conidia measuring 7–15 (18) × (5) 6–12.5 μm and
conidiophores measuring (15) 30–100 (150) × (2.5) 3–6 (7)
μm; and Ellis and Ellis (1987) described conidia measuring
8–12 μm diameter and conidiophores measuring 40–120 × 3
μm.
