Abstract:

The study was conducted to find the fungal diversity in the soil of Gangwon province, Korea.
Sixty soil samples were collected from various places and fungi were isolated through serial dilution
technique. Isolated fungi were purified and differentiated according to their morphological and
microscopic characteristics. The identification of fungi was carried out by sequence analysis of internal
transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 18S ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA). A total of 75 fungal isolates were
recovered and they belonged to 29 genera comprising Acremonium, Actinomucor, Aspergillus,
Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Cochliobolus, Cunninghamella, Dothideomycetes, Emericellopsis,
Emericellopsis, Fusarium, Geomyces, Humicola, Leptosphaeria, Leptosphaerulina, Mortierella, Mucor,
Neosartorya, Oidiodendron, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, Pleosporales, Podospora, Purpureocillium,
Sordariomycetes, Stachybotrys, Talaromyces and Scytalidium. Among them, Aspergillus spp., Fusarium
spp., Penicillium spp. and Talaromyces spp. were the most dominant taxa in this study.
