Cloning, sequencing and characterization of a novel phosphatase gene, phoI, from soil bacterium Enterobacter sp. 4.

abstract：:Tropical plants represent hotspots of endophytic fungal species diversity. Based on culture-dependent methods, we evaluated the endophytic fungal communities in leaves of three plant species found in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest: Begonia fischeri, Begonia olsoniae, and Begonia venosa. These species are found in t...
