[Utilization of carbon sources by Fusarium poae (Peck) Wollenw. Strains from different trophic groups].

It was shown that saprophytic (soil), endophytic and plant pathogenic strains of F. poae under cultivation conditions in the media containing carbon sources from mono- to polysaccharides had different abilities to use them and to accumulate biomass. Maltose, xylose, fructose, pectin were the most favorable carbon sources for the studied strains; less assimilated lactose, arabinose, and especially microcrystalline cellulose were less assimilated. It was found that endophytes and plant pathogens accumulated biomass equally, while soil strains had low ability for that.
