- Abstract
During a survey of endophytic fungi in aquatic plants collected from Tibet, PR China, a novel species, Ramichloridium endophyticum, was isolated from Potamogeton pectinatus . This novel species differs from other species of the genus Ramichloridium by its finely verrucose, obovoid, ellipsoidal-obovoid and occasionally subglobose conidia. Phylogenetic analysis of the combined sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene ( tef1-α ) confirmed that the isolated strain represents a member of the genus Ramichloridium . A full description, illustrations and a phylogenetic tree showing the position of R. endophyticum are provided.
