Endophytic species of Xylaria: cultural and isozymic studies

Rodrigues, K.F., A. Leuchtmann & O. Petrini (1993). Endophytic species of Xylaria: cultural and isozymic studies. Sydowia 45 (1): 116-138. Cultural descriptions of endophytic Xylaria species from an Amazonian palm, Euterpe oleracea, are presented. Eighty-one isolates representing 15 species of Xylaria were examined for isozyme variation by means of horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. Results from the isozyme analysis revealed a high degree of intraand interspecific diversity among Xylaria species.
