ABSTRACT

A orchid rotting fungus was isolated and identified. The isolate was consistent with the genus Fusarium in morphological and cultural characteristics. The partial 18S rRNA sequence of the isolate showed high similarity with anamorph or telemorph of Fusarium and other Fusarium species. In phylogenetic analysis, the isolates was poorly related to other Fusarium species. The isolate closely related to Fusarium sp. LP-A2/3.
