Abstract:

A pathogenic fungus was isolated from infected garlic sprout during postharvest storage. Morphological
observation and rDNA ITS analysis indicated that the isolated strain was Stemphylium solani. Metabolic fingerprinting
investigation of 95 carbon sources suggested that the carbon metabolic fingerprinting of the strain was composed of 75
optimal carbon sources, including D-fructose, sucrose, maltose, α-D-glucose, D-galactose, and 5 available carbon sources
(D-glucosamine, D-tagatose, hydroxybutyric acid, D-malic acid and uridine) as well as 15 unavailable carbon sources such
as N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, N-acetyl-β-D-mannosamine and i-erythritol.

Key words: garlic sprout, postharvest disease, ITS rDNA sequence analysis, carbon metabolic fingerprinting
