ABSTRACT

Fungal strain KNU16-005 was isolated from field soil in Jeollabuk–do, Korea. Based on its morphological characteristics and phylogenic analysis using internal transcribed spacer regions of rDNA, β-tubulin and translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene sequences of KNU16-005 were identified as Neopestalotiopsis australis. This species has not been previously reported in Korea.
