Description
Yu-Na Choi and co-authors report five fungi never before recorded living inside Korean seaweeds. The fungi are endophytes, quiet residents within the tissue of two Sargassum brown algae gathered from Korean coasts. Finding them extends the known map of marine fungal life.
Identification combined shape and form under the microscope with family trees built from up to six genes. The five include species of Hypoxylon, Neopestalotiopsis, and Aspergillus, among others. Each isolate's traits matched its named species, confirming the placements. First records like these are the bookkeeping on which biodiversity science, and any future use of these fungi, depends.
