Phenotypic variations among fungal species provide important insights into the existence of distinct races or strains in fungi. Bipolaris cynodontis isolates from Bermuda grass and sugarcane were evaluated for their growth rate, colony morphology and conidial characteristics on different culture media. Isolates were divided into four different groups based on colour and growth pattern. Growth rate among different isolates varied in the same medium indicating aggressiveness of the isolate. At the same time growth pattern and colony morphology differentiated greatly among the isolates. Growth and colony morphology was also influenced by the nutrients in the media. Significant differences in the conidial shape, size and number of septa provided additional parameters to differentiate isolates. These morphological differences may be due to parasexuality among naturally occurring isolates of B. cynodontis. The results indicate importance of growth pattern to assess variability in B. cynodontis, providing opportunity to understand fungal biodiversity with implications in agriculture.
