Item Prospecting of endophytic fungi producing volatile organic compounds: taxonomy, identification of volatiles and potential uses for the biological control of postharvest diseases(Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 2017-02-17) Gomes, André Angelo Medeiros; Pereira, Olinto Liparini; Lopes, Ueder Pedro; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira deIn the search for alternative strategies to control of postharvest diseases in fruits and vegetables aimed at reducing the use of fungicides, was conducted a prospection to endophytic fungi capable of emitting volatile compounds with antimicrobial properties. Through parallel growth technique, directed towards the isolation of fungi producing volatile antimicrobials, endophytic isolates of coffee and carqueja plants were obtained and in preliminary test inhibited the growth of Aspergillus ochraceus by the emission of volatile compounds. The presence of at least three distinct species of Muscodor was verified, and a new taxon of Simplicillium by clarifying the identity of the endophytic isolates obtained through comparative studies of morphological structures, BLAST of gene sequences and phylogenetic analyzes. M. yucatanensis, Muscodor sp. and M. coffeanum isolates were obtained from coffee branches, the latter also isolated in leaves of carqueja. The antimicrobial activity of these isolates was demonstrated against Aspergillus species frequently associated with coffee beans by in vitro mycofumigation. In addition, mycofumigation with M. coffeanum CDA 741 inhibited the growth of A. ochraceus inoculated in coffee beans. The compounds present in the volatile mixture emitted by each isolate were identified by solid-phase micro-extraction gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Simplicillium sp. CDA 734, a new species of endophytic Cordycipitaceae from coffee plants, will be proposed through comparative studies of its morphology combined with phylogenetic analyzes. Simplicillium sp. CDA 734 inhibited the growth of A. ochraceus, A. tubingensis, A. sydowii and A. niger by mycofumigation. Among the compounds identified in the volatile mixture emitted by Simplicillium sp. CDA 734, 1-Propanone, 1-(5-methyl-2-furanyl)-, Cyclopropane, 1- ethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-phenylethynyl)-, and 2-Propenoic acid, 3-(2-formyl-4- methoxyphenyl)-, ethyl ester, (E)- were those with the highest percentage of peak per area. In mycofumigation of organic strawberries inoculated with Colletotrichum acutatum e Botrytis cinerea, M. coffeanum CDA 739 decreases 100 and 81% the incidence of anthracnose and gray mold in the fruits, respectively. Mycofumigation through sachets containing rye grains colonized by M. coffeanum CDA 739 significantly reduced the incidence of anthracnose in fruits inoculated with C. acutatum, making possible its use in large-scale to control postharvest strawberry diseases through mycofumigation.
