The study identified fungal isolates causing anthracnose in mango crops in Mexico and found that commercial chitosan exhibited antifungal activity against most Colletotrichum species and other fungi. However, some isolates of C. fructicola showed lower susceptibility to chitosan, suggesting the need for further research on genomic changes and molecular evidence related to chitosan susceptibility in the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides complex.
In Mexico, the mango crop is affected by anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species. In the search for environmentally friendly fungicides, chitosan has shown antifungal activity. Therefore, fungal isolates were obtained from plant tissue with anthracnose symptoms from the state of Guerrero in Mexico and identified with the ITS and beta-Tub(2) genetic markers. Isolates of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides complex were again identified with the markers ITS, Act, beta-Tub(2), GADPH, CHS-1, CaM, and ApMat. Commercial chitosan (Aldrich, lot # STBF3282V) was characterized, and its antifungal activity was evaluated on the radial growth of the fungal isolates. The isolated anthracnose-causing species were C. chrysophilum, C. fructicola, C. siamense, and C. musae. Other fungi found were Alternaria sp., Alternaria tenuissima, Fusarium sp., Pestalotiopsis sp., Curvularia lunata, Diaporthe pseudomangiferae, and Epicoccum nigrum. Chitosan showed 78% deacetylation degree and a molecular weight of 32 kDa. Most of the Colletotrichum species and the other identified fungi were susceptible to 1 g L-1 chitosan. However, two C. fructicola isolates were less susceptible to chitosan. Although chitosan has antifungal activity, the interactions between species of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides complex and their effect on chitosan susceptibility should be studied based on genomic changes with molecular evidence.
