However, numerous diseases are known to affect this family of plants. One such disease is the Citrus Black Spot (CBS) caused by the fungus Phyllosticta citricarpa. To identify alternatives for the biological control of citrus diseases, endophytic fungi were isolated from healthy plants of the orchards with incidence of Citrus Black Spot, in Brazil. A collection of over 400 fungal isolates was obtained and among these isolates, the strain LGMF1254 was selected, because it inhibited P. citricarpa. This strain was identified as Muscodor sp. by morphologic and phylogenetic analysis, performed through ITS sequencing of rDNA. LGMF1254 showed high similarity with M. sutura, M. vitigenus, and M. equiseti; however, 10 polymorphic sites were observed on RPB2 sequences of M. sutura and LGMF1254 (the RPB2 sequences from M. vitigenus and M. equiseti are not available). By analyses of RPB2 sequence and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) production, LGMF1254 can be probably classified as a new species; however, sequences of genes other than ITS region are necessary to understand this genus better. LGMF1254 showed high activity against P. citricarpa, such as the inhibition of growth and pycnidia formation, due to the production of volatile secondary metabolites. These volatiles, among which the main products are thujopsene, cedrene, azulene, cis-α-bergamotene, and α-himachalene, could be used during the transport of fruits, preventing the development of the CBS symptoms. Here, for the first time in Brazil, we describe the isolation of Muscodor, as well the production of compounds with activity against the phytopathogen P. citricarpa from it. } }
