title: [Study on fast screening antifungus activity of endophytes from Pseudolarix kaempferi].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To screen antifungal activity of endophytes from Pseudolarix kaempferi.
  
  
  METHODS
  Endophytes from P. kaempferi were separated. By means of microdilution method, antifungal active endophytes were fast screened by Pyricularia oryzae P-2b model, and activity of endophytes against pathogenic fungus was studied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  44.8% of endophytes showed activity against P. oryzae P-2b in Pseudolarix kaempferi. Among them JJ314, JJ323 introduced formation of characteristic beads and swellings on the growing hyphae, JJ324 inhibited the conidia germination. They all showed activity against Trichophyton rubrum, Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endophytes from P. kaempferi are a potential resource for the development of antifungal agent.
