Abstract
An endophytic fungal isolate, D15, recovered from Ferula khustanica (Apiaceae), was investigated to establish its taxonomic placement using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing. A 582-base reverse-strand Sanger read was compared with reference sequences from five Alternaria type strains, and a UPGMA phylogenetic tree was constructed. The isolate clustered within Alternaria and showed 99.2–99.8% sequence identity to the examined type strains. However, the low ITS divergence among these reference species prevents a reliable species-level assignment. The isolate is therefore designated Alternaria sp. D15 pending multilocus characterization.
