<b>Potential for production of hydrolytic enzymes from endophytic fungi of </b><b><i>C. adamantium</i></b><b> and phytopathogen control.</b>

The objective of this work is the bioprospecting of endophytic fungi isolated from the leaves of the guavira plant (<i>Campomanesia adamantium</i>) with the potential for the production of hydrolytic enzymes, of amylase, lipase, esterase, and protease and control of the phytopathogen <i>Macrophomina phaseolina</i>.Our findings demonstrate that two specific endophytic fungi, CA 70A and CA 70B (both <i>Diaporthe</i> sp.), exhibit positive results for all four enzymes, indicating their potential for enzyme production. Additionally, nine isolates show significant antagonistic effects against <i>M. phaseolina</i>, underscoring their potential as effective antagonists against phytopathogens. These results contribute valuable insights into the utilization of endophytic fungi from <i>C. adamantium</i> for sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
