Identification of A. strictum isolates has shown that this fungus is phenotypically diverse and may vary genetically. Due to phylogenetic ambiguities, an unknown proportion of the literature on A. strictum is based on studies of Acremonium sclerotigenum. The fungus can generally be successfully identified by the nuclear ITS region sequence analysis.
The identification of A. strictum isolates has shown that this organism exhibits a range of phenotypic characteristics and may exhibit genetic variation. As a result, some literature on A. strictum is based on studies of Acremonium sclerotigenum due to phylogenetic ambiguities. The fungus can typically be accurately identified through analysis of the nuclear ITS region sequence.
