Abstract
The aim of this study was the molecular characterization of the some Trichoderma species which were previously isolated by cultural sampling methods from agricultural soils. A 20 of 39 strains of Trichoderma which were identified to species level by morphological data. Their characterization studies were based on the internal transcribed spacer regions 1 and 2 (ITS 1 and ITS2) of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and a fragment of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1 gene) sequences. Based on the sequence data and cultural examinations, strains were grouped into four which are included in: afroharzianum, atroviride, gamsii and harzianum. Among them,T. gamsii was the most encountered species. The species T. afroharzianum was reported as the first time for Turkey.
