Identification of Endophytic Fungi from Fruits and Seeds of Jambolana (Syzygium cumini L.) Skeels
Abstract
The endophytes are microorganisms that colonize plant tissue without causing infections. One of endophytic microorganisms, fungi, comprises a reliable source of genetic diversity and has been applied in pharmacology. In this study, the endophytic fungi was isolated from fruit and seed of Syzygium cumini and identified based on ITS-rDNA. Five fungal isolates were obtained from fruit and seed of Jambolana, two isolates from fruit and three isolates from seed. Based on ITS-rDNA analysis showed that that endophytic fungus isolates from jambolana (S. cumini L.) Skeels was identified as Neofusicoccum parvum (F1 isolates), Pestalotiopsis vismiae (F2 isolates), Phomopsis sp. (S1 and S3 isolates), Colletotrichum fructicola (S2 isolates). All the isolates are belonged to Ascomycota.
