ABSTRACT

Endophytic fungi were isolated from the Pinus densiflora rootlet colonized by ectomycorrhizal fungus Tricholoma matsutake. Eighteen species of endophytic fungi were identified by analyzing rDNA-ITS sequence. As the result of the rDNA-ITS analysis, ascomycota of 15 species and Mucoromycotina of 3 species were isolated. Of all the endophytic fungi isolated, Penicillium sp. was confirmed as the highest frequency.
