- Abstract
Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, in combination with chemometrics, was investigated as a simple method to differentiate Fusarium spp. Strains were grown on solid culture plates for sporulation. Spectral data of spores of Fusarium spp. were recorded within the range from 4000 to 400 cm−1. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal components analysis (PCA) were used to study the clusters in the data of spectral regions of 3000–2800 and 1800–1480 cm−1. The virtual rate of correct differentiation (100%) was achieved for both the HCA and PCA. FT-IR technique shows high potential as a novel, accurate and easy-to-use differentiation method eagerly sought for the routine differentiation of Fusarium isolates from a wide range of environmental sources.
