Abstract:A fungal pathogen, strain 074#, was isolated from infected peach fruit during postharvest storage periods. Morphological characterization and ITS rDNA analysis confirmed that the strain 074# was Botrytis elliptica. The pathogenicity tests confirmed that Amygdalus persica is a natural host of Botrytis elliptica. The Biolog Microbial Identification System with FF MicroPlate was applied for carbon source utilization test of Botrytis elliptica based on their abilities to utilize 95 discrete substrates. And the result showed that the carbon metabolic fingerprinting of isolated strain was composed of 26 optimal carbon sources, including D-fructose, sucrose, L-malic acid, succinic acid, D-gluconic acid, L-aspartic acid, L-serine, adenosine, denosine-5'-monophosphate, as well as 14 available carbon sources and 55 unavailable carbon sources.
