No true marine fungus could be isolated but marine-derived
fungi were present as endophytes in seagrass tissues. The
rhizome tissue of all the seagrasses screened harboured
endophytes. Excepting CS and TA, the leaves of all the plants
had endophytes (Table 1). Among rhizome samples, the
maximum number (45) of endophyte was present in HW and
the maximum number (7) of endophyte species was recovered
from CY and TH. With leaf samples, the maximum number
(37) of isolate was present in EA; the maximum number (4) of
endophyte species was recovered CM, EA, HL and HN (Table 1).
