Our objectives were characterize the isolates through mycelial growth, cultural and morphological analyses, as well as assessing pathogenicity. To evaluate cultural characteristics, the mycelial growth was daily measured, and the color of colonies was characterized after ten days incubation. The morphology, length, and width of 50 conidia per isolate were assessed. The pathogenicity of twenty-one isolates was evaluated on seed germination rate, incidence, and detection of extracellular enzymes. The cultural and morphology characteristics of <em>Colletotrichum</em> isolates were greatly variable. All isolates studied were able to reduce seed germination, produce sign and proteinase activity. These results suggest there are more than one <em>Colletotrichum</em> species associated with soybean anthracnose in Mato Grosso State.</p>}, number={7}, journal={Scientific Electronic Archives}, author={Moraes, S.
