Exploring the Biodiversity and Antibacterial Potential of the Culturable Soil Fungi in Nyingchi, Tibet.

ABSTRACT: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as "the third pole" of the Earth, boasts unique climatic conditions with abundant sunlight, low temperature, and significant annual temperature variations, nurturing a diverse array of soil microorganisms with rich metabolic products. In this study, 132 fungal isolates were isolated and identified from the soil samples collected in Nyingchi, Tibet, belonging to 32 genera and 59 species, while Ascomycota, Mucoromycota, and Basidiomycota accounted for 91.7%, 7.5%, and 0.8%, respectively. The evolutionary relationships among 59 representative strains were revealed by constructing a phylogenetic tree, while Penicillium, Fusarium, and Aspergillus were the most widespread fungal genera here, and the antibacterial activity of these strains was
