Elsinoë fawcettii is a species of fungus in the Elsinoaceae family. It is a plant pathogen that causes citrus scab. It is known to produce red or orange pigments, called elsinochrome. Elsinochrome is a nonhost‐selective phytotoxin and is required for full fungal virulence and lesion formation. Elsinochrome and many perylenequinone‐containing phytotoxins of fungal origin are grouped as photosensitizing compounds that are able to absorb light energy, react with oxygen molecules and produce reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide and singlet oxygen.
