The U. botrytis strain associated with this environment is called LPSC 813 and has great cellulolytic ability. [12] Ulocladium. botrytis has potential, albeit limited, to be used as a biocontrol agent against the parasitic herbaceous plant genus Orobanche that affect the yield of certain crops like tomatoes.

Later the same year, the fungus was named Botrytis bassiana by Giuseppe Gabriel Balsamo-Crivelli.
