Abstract

The aim of this study was to isolate and identify the fungi associated with chonta fruits in five localities belonging to the province of Orellana. During the month of February2020, 22 samples of chonta fruits of different phenotypes with symptoms were collected in the localities of San Francisco de Asis, El Coca, Sani Isla, Patasyaku, and San José. The isolation of the fungi associated with the diseased fruits was carried out by the direct method on Potato-Dextrose-Agar and Sabouraud-Dextrose-Agar culture media. In addition, the colonies were grouped into morphotypes on the basis of macroscopic characteristics. The morphotypes were identified by morphometric characterization taking into account the criteria described in the scientific literature. The fungi associated with chonta fruits belonged to the genera Geotrichum, Mucor, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Trichoderma, and Ceratocystis
