Abstract
Microbial endophytes were isolated from surface sterilised leaf segments of Strychnous nuxvomica L. from forest areas of Malnad region, Southern India. A total of 1271 endophytic isolates belonging to 23 different fungal species and two Pseudomonas species from a total of 1800 segments incubated in two seasons were examined at three sites. Fungi recovered belonged to ascomycetes, coelomycetes and hyphomycetes and mycelia sterilia. Pseudomonas pseudomallei strain YL-1, a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria was isolated as dominant endophyte from surface sterilised tissues. Dual culture studies revealed that P. pseudomallei have the potentiality to control some pathogenic fungi in vitro.
