*3.2. Fungal Material*

The fungal strain *Cladosporium cladosporioides* MA-299 was isolated from the leaves of the mangrove plant *Bruguiera gymnorrhiza*, collected in Hainan Island, China, in March 2015. The strain was identified as *Cladosporium cladosporioides* by analysis of its ITS region of the rDNA, which is the same (100%) as that of *C. cladosporioides* DCF-1 (accession no. MG208055). The sequence data were deposited in GenBank with the accession number MH822624. The strain is preserved at Key Laboratory of Experimental Marine Biology, Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS).
