Species of the genus () are phytopathogens of the Brassicaceae family, which includes oilseed rape. The spores of these fungi spread by airborne transmission, infect plants, and cause crop losses. The secondary metabolism of and was studied and compared, with the main focus being on the ability to produce Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS). In spite of the 1.5-2-fold faster growth rate of on Czapek-Dox and other screening media, the average yield of EPS in this fungus was only 0.29 g/L, compared to that of (0.43 g/L). In turn, showed a higher capacity to synthesise IAA, i.e., 14 µg/mL, in contrast to <1.5 µg/mL produced by . On the other hand, the strains showed higher β-glucanase activity (350-400 mU/mL), compared to 50-100 mU/mL in . Invertase levels were similar in both species (250 mU/mL). The positive correlation between invertase activity and EPS yield contrasted with the absence of a correlation of EPS with β-glucanase. neither solubilised phosphate nor used proteins from milk. All strains showed the ability to synthesise siderophores on CAS agar. exhibited the highest efficiency of amylolytic and cellulolytic activity.
