Abstract: Several isolates of yeasts and bacteria were collected from citrus leaves naturally affected with pseudo greasy spot (PGS), a disease of unknown etiology in Japan. Based on inoculations by injection and spraying, two groups of the yeasts different from each other in colony type were pathogenic. One comprising three isolates (No.3, 4, and 6) was highly virulent and identified as Sporobolomyces sp. because of asymmetric ballistospore formation, no mycelial form, multilateral budding and salmon-pink colony. Another group (No.10 and Ta-7415) was identified as Aureobasidium sp. because of the characteristic true mycelium. Based on pathogenic activity, fungicidal sensitivity and ecological property, the Sporobolomyces sp. is probably main pathogens of the disease.
