Abstract/Contents:"The diversity and prevalence of pathogenic and commensal fungi associated with bermudagrass is poorly understood. Plant tissue samples were obtained from a non-inoculated stand of Tifway 419 bermudagrass or from stands inoculated with either Ophiosphaerella herpotricha or Gaeumannomyces graminis var. graminis. Endophytic fungi were cultured from surface-sterilized roots or stolons/rhizomes. Isolated fungi were identified based on morphological characteristics and the sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA). Based on sequence similarities, twenty-eight genera of fungi were recovered from bermudagrass plants. Overall, the most frequently isolated genera were Bipolaris, Exserohilum, Fusarium, Macrophomina, and Ophiosphaerella. The dominant fungal genus isolated from the roots of non-inoculated control plants and G. graminis-inoculated plants was Fusarium, while from stolons/rhizomes, Bipolaris was the dominant genus isolated. For O. herpotricha-inoculated plants the dominant fungal genus from both roots and stolons/rhizomes was Fusarium. Thus, colonization of bermudagrass by O. herpotricha may displace endophytic populations of Bipolaris in stolons/rhizomes and Fusarium in roots."
