Abstract

Endophytic fungal strains were isolated from the sterilized roots of a medicinal plant, Ligusticum chuanxiong and identified based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of internal transcribed spacer, large subunit rDNA, and beta-tubulin DNA regions. Our results confirmed the presence of Pithomyces chartarum and Plectosphaerella niemeijerarum in the fungal strains. To the best of our knowledge, the fungal strains have not been reported in Korea. In this report, we describe morphological characteristics and phylogenetic trees of these endophytic fungal strains.

경북 영주의 산림약용자원연구소에서 재배된 토천궁의 뿌리에서 내생균을 분리하였다. 분리된 균주는 형태적 특성의 분석과 internal transcribed spacer, large subunit rDNA, beta-tubulin 영역의 분자 생물학적 계통분석을 이용해 동정하였다. 연구 과정에서 2종의 국내 미기록종 내생균 균주를 확인하였고, 확인된 종은Pithomyces chartarum 과 Plectosphaerella niemeijerarum이다. 미기록종 내생균 균주의 형태적 특성 확인 및 분자계통 분석의 결과에 대해 기술하였다.
