3.4. Phylogenetic analysis
Further identification of fungi A. awamori was deep-rooted through
18S rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The homology analysis by BLAST concluded that the isolate casvk5 (KM434331) closely resembled
A. awamori EU821242 (100%). In addition, phylogenetic tree analysis
showed that the monophyly of isolate with respect to reference
taxa and extremely short tree branches indicate minimal differences
among the analyzed sequences (Fig. 5). As well, the phylogenetic tree
indicated the close relationship between A. brasiliensis and A. usamii.
