| Abstrakt: | The grass Ammophila breviligulata (American beachgrass) is known to host an endophyte of the genus Epichloë . Based on morphological characteristics it was originally identified as Acremonium typhinum var. ammophilae and is currently designated as Epichloë typhina var. ammophilae . However, the Epichloë species has not previously been identified based on DNA sequence data. Based on phylogenetic placement of beta-tubulin and translation elongation factor 1-alpha DNA sequences the endophyte is identified as a member of E. amarillans rather than E. typhina . Competing Interests: The authors declare there are no competing interests. |
