Description
Summary:We employed DNA barcodes for identification of fungal species in marine sediments. Sediments were collected seasonally along the Southeast coast of India from which a culturable fungal library was constructed. All cultured species were morphologically documented using microscopical analysis. A maximum population density of 19.3 × 103 CFU/g was recorded in monsoon and minimum of 3 × 103 CFU/g in premonsoon season. Two-way analysis of variance suggests that the fungal community varied significantly between the seasons (F = 9.543, P
