Isolation and identification of fungi associated with Sonneratia caseolaris in Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, Terengganu

Abstract

Mangrove is one of the most productive plants that produce natural products. However, it is not known whether they are produced by the plant themselves or by the microorganism associated with them. In this study, fungi associated with Sonneratia caseolaris were isolated and identified based on their morphology using the microscope. The sampling site of the mangrove is in the zone 1, UMT.
