Description
Summary:A total of 21 endophytic filamentous fungi were isolated from the young stems of Cinchona ledgeriana (Rubiaceae) cultivated in West Java, Indonesia. They were classified into six genera, namely nine Phomopsis spp., six Diaporthe spp., two Schizophyllum spp., two Penicillium spp., one Fomitopsis sp., and one Arthrinium sp. by using nucleotide sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) including 5.8S ribosomal DNA region and phylogenetic analysis.
