Occurrence and distribution of endophytic fungi in a mangrove community

https://doi.org/10.1017/S0953756201004841Get rights and content

Seven dominant mangrove species of an estuarine mangrove forest in south India were studied for the presence of foliar endophytes. Mitosporic fungi, ascomycetes and sterile mycelia were isolated from the leaves of the mangrove hosts studied. Although many endophytes were common to more than one host, the endophyte assemblage of each mangrove species was dominated by different endophyte species.
