Seven strains of Fusarium were isolated from rotten fruit of banana (Musa cavendishii) imported into Japan from Mazanillo, Colima, Mexico. Morphological features of the isolates were described and illustrated, and their pathogenicity to banana was determined. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that these isolates were assignable to F. verticillioides. However, constant production of septate aerial conidia in chains by the banana isolates distinguished these strains from previous descriptions of this species. Morphological examination of the isolates revealed that they are consistent with Wollenweber's original concept of F. moniliforme var. minus. The effect of black-light illumination on conidial production by these isolates was also tested. Black light stimulated production of sporodochial conidia of all banana isolates and had a positive effect on conidial length.
