Abstract: An endophytic fungus designated as Salicorn 15 was isolated from halophilic Salicornia bigelovii and identified by molecular biology techniques combined with morphological observation. Genomic DNA from Salicorn 15 was extracted and its 18S rDNA and ITS region were amplified by PCR and sequenced for sequence homology analysis using NCBI BLAST. Based on phylogenetic analysis combined with morphological observation, Salicorn 15 was identified as Fusarium proliferatum.

Key words: Salicornia bigelovii, 18S rDNA, ITS-rDNA, identification
