Abstract
During a survey of fungal diversity in insect guts in Korea, two fungal strains, EML-PGH2 and EML-PUKI88, were
isolated from the gut of grasshopper and soldier fly larvae inhabiting the bulrush plants at a pond located in the Chonnam
National University Arboretum, Gwangju, Korea. Based on their morphological characteristics and a phylogenetic analysis of the
internal transcribed spacer (ITS1 and ITS2) and 5.8S rDNA sequences, the strains were identified as
Figures & Tables
Phylogenetic tree based on maximum likelihood analysis of internal transcribed rDNA sequences of EML-PUKI88 and B. EML-PGH2. was used as outgroup. Bootstrap support values of ≥ 50% are indicated at the nodes. The bar indicates the number of substitutions per position.
