diversity showed host specificity. Isolates were tested for the hydrolysis of starch, pectin, alginate and agar, exhibiting a different hydrolytic potential according to their host:A. taxiformisshowed the highest percentage of active isolates (91%), followed byS. coronopifolius(54%) andH. scopari...
