Abstract

Endophytic fungi are those living inside the host plant without causing any apparent negative effect on host plant. Endophytic fungi from palm trees in King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Bangkok, Thailand, were isolated and identified by morphology. 105 isolates were isolated from leaves, petioles and roots of 10 species healthy palms. Among them, 45 unidentified isolates were group to mycelia sterilia fungi. Other 60 isolates were identified as 15 species belong to Fusarium spp., Xylaria spp, Cladosporium spp, Phialophora spp, Pestalotiopsis spp, Rhizoctonia spp., Colletotrichum spp., Chaetomium globosum, Chaetomium aureum, Giberrella spp, Emericella spp, Aspergillus spp., Curvalaria lunata, Phoma spp and Nigrospora spp by morphological characters.
