Four endophytic fungi were isolated from the medicinal plant, Catharanthus roseus , and were identified as Diaporthe spp. with partial translation elongation factor 1-alpha ( TEF1 ), beta-tubulin ( TUB ), histone H3 ( HIS ), calmodulin ( CAL ) genes, and rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region ( TEF1 - TUB - HIS -- CAL -ITS) multigene phylogeny suggested for species delimitation in the Diaporthe genus. Each fungus produces a unique mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with an abundant mixture of terpenoids analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber-GC/MS. These tentatively-detected terpenes included α-muurolene, β-phellandrene, γ-terpinene, and α-thujene, as well as other minor terpenoids, including caryophyllene, patchoulene, cedrene, 2-carene, and thujone. The volatile metabolites of each isolate showed antifungal properties against a wide range of plant pathogenic test fungi and oomycetes, including Alternaria alternata , Botrytis cinerea , Colletotrichum gloeosporioides , Fusarium graminearum , and Phytophthora cinnamomi. The growth inhibition of the pathogens varied between 10% and 60% within 72 h of exposure. To our knowledge, the endophytic Diaporthe -like strains are first reported from Catharanthus roseus . VOCs produced by each strain of the endophytic Diaporthe fungi were unique components with dominant monoterpenes comparing to known Diaporthe fungal VOCs. A discussion is presented on the inhibitive bioactivities of secondary metabolites among endophytic Diaporthe fungi and this medicinal plant.
