The exploration of endophytic fungi associated with seaweeds has garnered significant interest due to their crucial ecological functions and potential as sources of valuable bioactive compounds. In this study, we isolated and identified endophytic fungi from the brown seaweed , collected from the intertidal zone of Yeongdoek, Gyeongsangbuk-do in Korea. Through morphological examination and molecular phylogenetic analysis using multiple molecular markers, including ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF1, TUB2, and RPB2 sequences, we identified three fungal species not previously recorded in Korea: , , and . Detailed descriptions of morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses are provided. This study represents the first report of these endophytic fungi isolated from in Korea, thereby enhancing the understanding of the diversity of seaweed-associated endophytic fungi in the region.
由于其关键的生态功能以及作为有价值生物活性化合物来源的潜力，对与海藻相关的内生真菌的探索引起了极大的兴趣。在本研究中，我们从韩国庆尚北道盈德潮间带采集的褐藻中分离并鉴定了内生真菌。通过形态学检查以及使用多个分子标记（包括ITS、LSU、SSU、TEF1、TUB2和RPB2序列）进行分子系统发育分析，我们鉴定出三种韩国此前未记录的真菌物种： 、 和 。提供了形态特征的详细描述和系统发育分析。本研究代表了在韩国从 分离出这些内生真菌的首次报告，从而增进了对该地区海藻相关内生真菌多样性的了解。
