The promising fungal isolate was assessed for colony morphology. The colony characteristics and microscopic features, such as conidia, conidiophores, and size and shape of hyphae, were examined using a light microscope (Olympus CH40RF200, Japan) through slide cultures [34 ]. The morphological features of the fungal isolate were also observed using scanning electron microscopy (FEI, model: Quanta FEG 250, Netherlands). The preparation of the samples was carried out according to Salvia et al. [35 (link)].
