Description
About 600 endophitic fungi isolated from Humulus lupulus and Crocus sativus and about 200 strains of lignicolous fungi from various forest environments of central Italy. Each strain was isolated in PDA medium, sub-cultured and stored in pdb-glicerol at -80 °C. Strain typing is carried out by molecular analysis of ITS region. The collection is screened for the identification of potential biocontrol agents and enzymatic activities and metabolites of biotechnological interest.
