MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MACROCOLONIES OF ENDOPHYTIC ISOLATES ISOLATED FROM GINKGO BILOBA
The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological characteristics of macrocolonies of endophytic fungi isolated from the
leaves and stems of the medicinal plant Ginkgo biloba L.. Plant samples were surface-sterilized and incubated on Potato Dextrose
Agar (PDA) at 28° C for seven days. A total of 15 endophytic isolates belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium,
Cladosporium, and Alternaria were obtained. The colonies were characterized in terms of form, color, texture, pigmentation, and
growth rate. The results revealed notable morphological diversity among the isolates and their adaptation to the host plant’s internal
tissues. The findings emphasize the importance of morphological analysis as a primary tool for identifying Ginkgo biloba
endophytic fungi and support further research into their potential biotechnological applications.
