These endophytes were isolated, characterized morphologically and molecularly identified by amplification of the ITS gene. Phylogenetic analysis using maximum likelihood was performed on the sequences to elucidate the identification of various isolates. 11 species were isolated from both Tacloban and Matalom sites, but four (4) of these species were unique to Matalom. Based on the computed Shannon-Weiner indices, host mangroves from Matalom (H’=2.738) were more diverse compared to the host mangroves from Tacloban (H’=2.505). Gleason’s Species Richness indices also showed that leaves collected from Matalom (d=4.277) exhibited a greater species richness than leaves from Tacloban (d=3.256). The results implied that alba generally possess the same species of fungal endophytes; but diversity and species are affected by the environmental conditions, geographical location and the…arrow_forwardA) What module can we use to run BLAST over the internet in Biopython: Bio.Blast.NCBIWWW Bio.Blast.NCBIXML WWW NCBIXML B) Which one of the following modules is not part of the Bio.Blast package in Biopython: NCBIStandalone FastaIO ParseBlastTable NCBIXML 3.

- Bacterium A Bacterium B Bacterium C Bacterium D A Phylogenic Tree is a way to show the relationships between species, the way a family tree shows relationships between people. We use similarties and differences between organisms to determine their relationships by placing them within the tree.

- Molecular marker is used to determine relatedness of species which may directly or indirectly exerts an effect on diversity. A hypothetical ancestor has the following DNA sequences: G A A G C T A T T C A T T. There are two lineage with DNA sequences of G A A G G T A T T C T C G, and G A A C C T A T T C T G C.
