Endophytic Fungi Isolated from Vochysia divergens ... 113Figure 12. Bayesian phylogenetic tree based on ITS sequence, showing the
relationships between Phaeosphaeria species. The tree is rooted with Stogonospora
foliicola type strain sequence obtained from GenBank. Scale bar shows 1 change and
Bayesian posterior probability values are indicated at the nodes. T indicates type strain
sequence.
Isolate LGMF1129, found to belong to the genus Cladosporium, with high
similarity with the type strain Cladosporium tenuissimum (Figure 11). This
genus includes endophytes that are commonly isolated from various plants, as
well as from atmospheric air and soil samples (Bensch et al. 2010; Nair et al.
2014).
Isolate LGMF1117 was identified as Annellosympodiela juniper, the type
species from the genus that was described in 2014 by Crous et al. Isolate
LGMF1117 showed 97% similarity in ITS sequence with A. juniper type strain
and probably represents a new species of the Annellosympodiela genus.
Strain LGMF1195 was found to belong to the genus Phaeosphaeria, and
are closely related to type strain P. oryzae, P. musae and P. papayae (Figure
12) and a multilocus analysis is necessary to identify the species.
Phaeosphaeria species are common endophytes found in a large number of
plants, including plants found in peculiar areas, such as Antarctic (Rosa et al.
2009).
