| Description： |
Growth in YM broth: After 5 days at 25˚C vegetative cells are short ovoidal, ovoidal, or ellipsoidal, (3.0-7.0) × (4.0-13.0-21.0) μm, single, in pairs or in clusters. Cells in the ring are long oval, elongate, or long bottle-shaped, in branched chains, (1.5-6.0) × (5.0-18.0) μm. After 2 weeks at 25˚C, a ring and a sediment are present. Growth on YM agar: After 2 weeks at 25˚C, the streak culture is pale brown to dark brownish-yellow, smooth, dull-shining, soft and has an entire margin. Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar: Pseudomycelium are produced but not well developed. Formation of ballistoconidia: Ballistoconidium is poorly produced on corn meal agar, subglobose, (5.5-8.5) × (6.5- 10.0) μm. | |||

| Note： |
The specific epithet of this species is derived from the name of plant from which it was isolated. In the conventional taxonomic characteristics, this species resembles Dioszegia crocea and B. begoniae, which is described in the present paper, and the known members of B. variabilis cluster. However, D. crocea produces orange colored colonies on agar media and is easily distinguished from B. setariae in this respect. Bullera setariae is distinguished from B. begoniae in the lack of nitrite assimilation, the lack of production of starch-like substances, and the difference of mol% G+C (Table 1), and from known species of the cluster in the lack of inositol assimilation and “starch” production. | |||
