Moringa Oleifera Lam

An assemblage of endophytic fungi was isolated from Moringa oleifera Lam. collected from Lombok island, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Fungal endophytes were isolated using surface sterilization methods with slight modification. Forty-six selected endophytic fungal strains were isolated from the leaves, petioles, and stems of M. oleifera. The fungal strains identification through morphological observation and ITS rDNA-based molecular analysis showed that fungal endophytes were associated with host plants belonging to the taxa Alternaria, Cladosporium, Colletotrichum (Glomerella), Corynespora, Curvularia (Cochliobolus), Fusarium, Mucor, Ochrocladosporium, Phomopsis (Diaporthe), and Trametes. In this study, endophytic Phomopsis dominating the obtained strains, whereas 26% (12/46) strains were isolated from host plant samples.

Moringa Oleifera Lam

Moringa oleifera Lam. is a small, perennial tree which belongs to moringaceae family. This plant is widely known for their nutritional and medicinal purposes. They can associate with microorganisms showing beneficial symbiosis called as endophytic microorganism. Endophytic fungi is microorganism capable of living within the plant tissues without harming their host.  This study was aimed for obtaining pure culture of fungal endophytes from M. oleifera and then identifying them based on morphological identification. The morphological identification was done by observing both macro- and micro- morphological characteristics of the endophytic fungi. Twenty endophytic fungi were isolated from lamina, petiole and stem of M. oleifera. The genus obtained were Cladosporium, Colletotrichum, Fusarium, Phomopsis, Phyllosticta, white mycelia sterilia and black mycelia sterilia (Dematiaceae). Keywords: endophytic fungi; identification; isolation; morphology; Moringa oleifera Lam.

Moringa Oleifera Lam

Moringa oleifera Lam., commonly found tree in sub-Himalayan tracts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan has a high nutrition value. The leaves, flowers and immature pods of Moringa are used as a vegetable in many countries. The leaves are highly nutritious and medicinal in nature. They are a rich source of iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, proteins, and essential amino acids. Hence Moringa leaves can be a good source of protein for the vegetarians and the under-nourished population. Present investigation deals with the study of monthly variation in the nutritional value of Moringa leaves from the month of June 2015 to January 2016. Impact of urban sewage pollution and roadside vehicular pollution on the amount of reducing and total sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total), proteins, vitamin-C and pH of the leaves, was also studied. Results revealed that the highest amounts of reducing sugars, total sugars, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll during October 2015 whereas proteins, chlorophyll a, vitamin C and pH were highest during January 2016. Leaf samples collected from all the study sites exhibited minimum amounts of reducing sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total) and pH during July 2015 whereas total sugars were lowest during December 2015. Proteins and vitamin C values were lowest during August and June 2015 respectively. Sewage and vehicular pollution showed an adverse effect on the nutritional contents of Moringa oleifera leaves. Of the two polluted sites, samples from near the sewage flow showed higher impact.
