ABSTRACT

We isolated fungal spores belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota from the rhizospheres of Smilax china, cultured in a greenhouse. We identified the isolated spores using sequence analysis of 18S partial rDNA region, internal transcribed spacer and 28S rDNA regions. We confirmed 2 unreported spores of Glomeromycota fungal species, Diversispora eburnea and Paraglomus laccatum. Here, we described the morphological characteristics and results of phylogenetic analysis of the confirmed species.
