Table 2 Recognition of plant growth promoting traits of different endophytic fungal isolates. Values are the mean ± SD (n = 3) Different letters (a, b, c, and d) denote that mean values are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) by the Duncan test. +++, deep yellow to brownish color (i.e., maximum ammonia production).
