Persistent fungal pathogens remain a threat to global food security as these continue infect crops despite different mitigating strategies. Traditionally, synthetic fungicides are used combat threats, but their environmental and health impacts have spurred interest in more sustainable, eco-friendly approach. Endolichenic fungi (ELF) relatively underexplored group of microorganisms found thriving inside the lichen thalli. They seen promising alternatives for developing sustainable plant disease management Hence, this study, total forty ELF isolates from two fruticose hosts-Ramalina Usnea, were tested compared antagonistic activities against three economically important filamentous pathogens-Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Fusarium oxysporum. The results dual culture assay showed that all successfully reduced growth with varying degrees, direct contact inhibition predominant trait among endolichenic fungi. Comparing between hosts, Ramalina generally demonstrated higher percentage test Usnea. This study underscores importance an efficient biocontrol agent.

In the current work, production of dioxolanone and meroterpene type secondary metabolites under different fermentation conditions by endophytic fungus Phyllosticta capitalensis (isolate YCC4) isolated from leaves endemic plant Persea indica has been evaluated. Different techniques, such as microparticle-enhanced culture (MPEC: bentonite, talcum powder) surface adhesion (SAF: metallic mesh glass wool) were applied to medium. Ethyl acetate extracts fermentations isolate YCC4 analyzed for their content revealed following derivatives: metguignardic acid (1), guignardianone C (2), ethyl guignardate (3), D (4) phenguignardic methyl ester (5), meroterpenes: guignardone A (6) B (7), guignarenone (8), (9) I (10). Additionally, biological activity was tested against aphid Myzus persicae root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica. Our study significant variations in target well notable differences biopesticide influenced presence inert supports. Overall, findings indicate that wool (GW) is a high-performance material improve derivatives. These underscore significance innovative cultivation methods MPEC SAF drivers produce valuable fungal organisms.
