Abstract:"Plant-associated endophytes are recognized as sources of novel bioactive molecules having diverse applications. In this study, an endophytic yeast-like fungal strain was isolated from the fruit of eggplant (Solanum melongena) and identified as Geotrichum candidum through phenotypic and genotypic characterizations. This endophytic G. candidum isolate PF005 was found to emit fruity scented volatiles. The compositional profiling of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) revealed the presence of 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl 3-methylbutanoate, 2-phenylethanol, isopentyl acetate, naphthalene, and isobutyl acetate in significant proportion when analyzed on a time-course basis. The VOCs from G. candidum exhibited significant mycelial growth inhibition (54%) of phytopathogen Rhizoctonia solani, besides having mild antifungal activity against a few other fungi. The source of carbon as a nutrient was found to be an important factor for the enhanced biosynthesis of antifungal VOCs. The antifungal activity against phytopathogen R. solani was improved up to 91% by feeding the G. candidum with selective precursors of alcohol and ester volatiles. Furthermore, the antifungal activity of VOCs was enhanced synergistically up to 92% upon the exogenous addition of naphthalene (1.0 mg/plate). This is the first report of G. candidum as an endophyte emitting antifungal VOCs, wherein 2-penylethanol, isopentyl acetate, and naphthalene were identified as important contributors to its antifungal activity. Possible utilization of G. candidum PF005 as a mycofumigant has been discussed based upon its antifungal activity and the qualified presumption of safety status"
