Physicochemical Analysis Isolation and Identification of some Endophytic Fungi from Marine Environs

The present investigation suggested that the endophytic fungi that are residing asymptotically in internal tissues of all plants and promising sources of biologically novel active compounds were recognized. The marine soil physiochemical parameters of Mallipattinam and Kollukadu of Pattukkottai taluk were analyzed. The Kollukadu soil has rich physio chemical properties when compared with Mallippattinam soil sample obviously water sample in Mallipattinam was excellent parameters found to be recorded when compared with Kollukadu water sample recorded respectively. Isolation and identification of endophytic fungi like, Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. terreus, A. ochraceous, Chaetomiun sp., Fusarium sp., F. moniliforme, F. oxysporum, Pencillium chrysogenum, P. citrinum, P. janthinellum, P. purpurrescens, R. stolonifer, Trichoderma harzianum from marine associated medicinal plants such as Acanthus ilicifolius, Aegiceras corniculatum, Avicennia marina, Ceriops decandra, Excoecaria agallocha, Rhizophora mucronata were determined respectively. Among the six-marine associated medicinal plants the Acanthus ilicifolius showed maximum fungal colonies (67) were recorded and minimum fungal colonies (48) in the Rhizophora mucronata were recognized respectively. The statistical analysis of Shannon and Simpson index of endophytic fungi were performed. The fungi that make up charge of different biological characteristics that are used in industrial important fungi and environmentally beneficial methods of living.
