ABSTRACT

We isolated endophytic fungal strains from the leaves of Abies koreana growing in Korea. The fungal strains were identified as Coleophoma parafusiformis and Coniochaeta ligniaria, based on morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region and large subunit region of ribosomal DNA. These species have not been previously reported in Korea. In this study, we report the morphological characteristics and results of phylogenetic analysis of the two novel fungal strains.
