Aspergillus creber and A. keveii, two new records as endophytes from wild medicinal plants in Egypt
Journal Title: Journal of Multidisciplinary Sciences - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present research and during surveys of mycobiota inhabiting leaves and roots of some wild and medicinal plants in El-Kharga Oasis, New Valley Governorate, Egypt, two significant isolates were isolated for the first time in Egypt and for the second time worldwide after type species inhabiting leaves of Convolvulus arvensis and Moringa oleifera. Those isolates were phenotypically classified as Aspergillus creber, and A. keveii referred to the representative type species belonging to the genus Aspergillus section Versicolores and section Usti, respectively. Pure cultures of both species have been deposited in the Culture Collection of Assiut University Mycological Centre with A. creber AUMC 14298 and A. keveii AUMC 14299. Their identification was verified by molecular recognition based on the sequencing of the ITS gene for each. Sequences of the two fungi's ITS genes have been submitted to GenBank with respective accession numbers MN542346 and MN542353, respectively. These species are recorded here for the first time worldwide as endophytes. The current research provides brief descriptions and photographs of both species.
