Abstract

In this study, we isolated endophytic fungi from the conifer leaves of Pinus densiflora inhabiting Mt. Gyehwasan in Korea. We identified the isolated fungal strains based on their morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis using DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacer, small subunit rDNA, large subunit rDNA, and β-tubulin region. In the process of this study, we confirmed two endophytic fungi that have not been recorded previously in Korea, Lophiostoma macrostomum and Pestalotiopsis lespedezae. In this report, we described the morphological characteristics of these fungal strains and the results of their molecular analysis.
