Identification And Characterization Of Endophytic Fungi From Spines Of Rattan (Calamus castaneus)

Endophytic fungi are fungi residing within plant tissues without causing any negative effects to the host. The present study was conducted to determine whether spines of Calamus castaneus harbour endophytic fungi. Calamus castaneus (rotan cucor) was chosen as the palm is among common and ecologicall...
