Phylogenetic affiliations of cultivable fungi associated with mangroves R. stylosa and R. mucronate.
Fig 1.
Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of 25 representative isolates from R. stylosa based on ITS gene sequences.
The values at each node represent the bootstrap values from 1,000 replicates, and the scale bar represents 0.05 substitutions per nucleotide. Peziza vesiculosa DQ491509 served as an outgroup.
Fig 2.
Distribution of fungal genera present in different tissues of (A) R. stylosa and (B) R. mucronata. Each value is expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3).
Table 3.
Dominant endophytes and relative species frequency (RF%) in different tissues of each host species.
Fig 3.
Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of 21 representative isolates from R. mucronata based on ITS gene sequences.
The values at each node represent the bootstrap values from 1,000 replicates, and the scale bar represents 0.05 substitutions per nucleotide. Peziza vesiculosa DQ491509 served as an outgroup.
