Screening of endophytic fungi stored in a culture collection for taxol production

摘要

In this work, four isolates of endophytic fungi ( Alternaria alternata , Colletotrichum gloesporioides , Glomerella cingulata and Nigrospora sphaerica ), deposited in the culture collection ‘University Recife Mycologia’ (URM) at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco , were characterized for the genes ITS 1 and 4 (region 5.8 S) and evaluated for taxol production.
