bioprospecting endophytic fungi. Multiple isolates of Colletotrichumsp.
and Phomopsis sp. fromthe twigs and leaves of
T. heyneana were obtained. Colletotrichumand Phomopsis are
reported as endophytes in previous studies fromthe leaves of
T. divaricata [24, 25]. These genera are multihost endophytes
because they occur consistently in taxonomically diverse
tropical tree species of different geographical areas [3, 26].
The reason for the frequent occurrence of Colletotrichum
and Phomopsis as endophytes may be attributed to the slimy
