Abstract

Endophytic fungi from orchids in Chantaburi province was studied. Endophytic fungi were isolated from 9 orchid varieties in greenhouse condition. Leaves and roots of Grammatophyllum scriptum, Cymbidium dayanum, Dendrobium hercoglossum, Dendrobium palpebrae, Torenia fournieri, Doritis pulcherrima, Dendrobium crumenatum, Dendrobium friedericksianum and Grammatophyllum specinocum were collected.  All samples were collected then brought to laboratory. Isolation was done by surface sterilization, removed the outer surface and got inner tissues then place on water agar and transferred culture to potato dextrose agar to be pure culture. The morphological identification based on colony and agar color, liquid drops, colony shapes, the growth rate and spores characteristic Twelve species are identified as Chaetomium cochliodes, Chaetomium cupreum, Xylaria sp., Colletotrichum sp., Nigrospora sp., Phoma sp. Curvularia sp., Fusarium sp., Pestalotiopsis sp., Corynascus sp. and Cladosporium-like fungi.
