Abstract

SUAREZ-MEDELLIN, Jorge et al. Morphologic and molecular characterization of a Mexican wild strain belonging to Ganoderma genus. Rev. Mex. Mic [online]. 2012, vol.36, pp.33-40. ISSN 0187-3180.

Fungi belonging to the Ganoderma genus have been widely studied because of their phytopatogenic and medicinal potential. However, due to its morphological variability, the genus has been considered in a status of "taxonomic chaos". In this study, a specimen of the Ganoderma genus originary of the State of Veracruz (México) was isolated and described from a morphological and molecular viewpoint, and also was identified according to its phylogenetic affinity.

Keywords : PCR; ITS; taxonomic chaos.
