Morphological and Phylogenetic Characterization of Endophytic Fungi Isolated from Brown Algae (Phaeophyceae) in Korea

Researchers in Korea discovered three previously unknown fungal species living inside brown seaweed called Sargassum. These fungi were identified using genetic analysis and microscopy. The discovery suggests that seaweed hosts diverse fungal communities that could have useful properties, such as producing compounds with antimicrobial and anti-cancer potential. This research expands our understanding of marine fungal diversity and its possible applications in medicine and biotechnology.
