Notes – Bartalinia was established by Tassi (1990) and is characterized by 3–4-septate conidia (Nag Raj 1993).[4] They occur as saprobes on various shrubs and trees and are often associated with leaf spots,[5] Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016b,[6] Wijayawardene et al. 2017a,[7] Phookamsak et al. 2019,[8]

Farr & Rossman 2019).[9]


Bartalinia is morphologically distinct from the other Sporocadaceous genera by its conidial characters.[10][11]

They have also been recorded in freshwater (Nguyen et al. 2019).[12]

Species Bartalinia robillardoides has been reported to produce taxol, an anticancer drug.[10][13] Several types of compounds have been investigated from Bartalinia robillardoides strain LF550, such as three new chloroazaphilones (secondary metabolites) named helicusin E, isochromophilone X, and isochromophilone XI, which expressed antimicrobial activity towards Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus lentus, Candida albicans, Trichophyton rubrum and Septoria tritici and also inhibited enzymes PDE4 and AChE.[14][12]

History edit

The genus was originally placed in the Sporocadaceae Corda 1842 family, then it was moved to family Amphisphaeriaceae G. Winter 1885 in 1887.[15] Then placed in Bartaliniaceae family by Senanayake et al. (2015),[16] but the fungal sequence dataset used was largely incomplete and some of the introduced families were not well supported statistically. So the Bartaliniaceae family was later synonymized back under Sporocadaceae by Jaklitsch et al. (2016b).[17][18]

The genus Bartalinia, which belongs to the class Sordariomycetes, order Amphisphaeriales, and family Bartaliniaceae, was established by Tassi (1900), with the type species Bartalinia robillardoides.[19]

It is characterized by the production of fusiform conidia with an acute or blunt apex and having three to four septate.[20][21]


Endophytic fungi in plant tissues produce a wide range of secondary metabolites and enzymes, which exhibit a variety of biological activities. In the present study, litter endophytic fungi were isolated from a fire-prone forest and screened for thermostable cellulases. two isolates, Bartalinia pondoensis and Phoma sp., showed the maximum cellulase activity.[22]


Fungi in the Sporocadaceae (e.g. Bartalinia, Pestalotia, Pestalotiopsis, Robillarda, Seimatosporium, Seiridium and Truncatella) possess common asexual morphological characters related to their acervular conidiomata, conidiogenesis and conidia.[10]

Hosts edit

Species of the genus have frequently been isolated from the leaves, stems of medicinal plants, or the dead aerial spines of Rosa canina L., (i.e. Bartalinia rosicola).[19]

In 2016, Bartalinia robillardoides was reported as leaf spot on Parthenocissus quinquefolia in China.[23]

In 2021, Bartalinia robillardoides was found as a host causing foliar lesions on Phoenix reclinata in Lisbon, Portugal.[24]

Bartalinia robillardoides has also been found in South Africa on Cupressus lusitanica and Scadoxus puniceus, in Italy on Leptoglossus occidentalis and in Australia on various Eucalyptus species.[10] Bartalinia bella has been found in South Africa on Maytenus abbottii. While, Bartalinia pini has been found in Uganda on Pinus patula and in USA on Acacia koa.[10] [10]

Microbial studies of the Mediterranean sponge Tethya aurantium led to the isolation of the fungus Bartalinia robillardoides strain LF550.[14]

In 2020 a new species was found and collected in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. Bartalinia kevinhydei, this was the first report of a Bartalinia species growing on teak (Tectona grandis) as leaf-spots, and it was also the first report for Bartalinia in Thailand.[25]

In 2009, 30 endophytic Pestalotiopsis strains and two Bartalinia robillardoides strains have been isolated from the inner bark, roots and twigs of the medicinal plants Azadirachta indica, Holarrhena antidysenterica, Terminalia arjuna and Terminalia chebula which were growing on riverbanks in India. Bartalinia robillardoides was only found on Azadirachta indica.[26]

Bartalinia pondoensis has been found on Citrus x aurantium L.[27] Bartalinia pini has been found the diseased leaves of Castanea henryi in China.[11]

Distribution edit

It is has a cosmopolitan distribution, worldwide,[18] except for the North and South poles.[28] This includes USA,[10] Portugal,[24] Italy,[10] Uganda, South Africa,[10] Russia (the Altai Mountains),[29] India,[26][30] Korea (and the Nakdong river,[12]) Thailand,[25] China,[21][23] New Zealand,[15] and Australia.[10]

Examples; species Bartalinia goniolimonis was found as leaf spots on Goniolimon speciosum plants and also fungus Septoriella viciae (in Phaeosphaeriaceae family) was found as leaf spots on Vicia unijuga), both were collected from the montane forests and steppes of the Altai Mountains in Russia.[29]

Species edit

In 2016, there were 17 accepted species in this genus,[31] by 2020 that had risen to 21 morphological species.[18] List (of 25 species, in 2023) as accepted by Species Fungorum;[32]
