Article Synopsis
  • - Endophytic fungi of the Muscodor genus, particularly strains LGMF1255 and LGMF1256 from the plant Schinus terebinthifolius, show promise for biological control due to their production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
  • - Strain LGMF1256 is identified as a new species named Muscodor brasiliensis sp. nov., which produces unique VOCs like phenylethyl alcohol, α-curcumene, and E (β) farnesene.
  • - M. brasiliensis effectively inhibited the phytopathogen P. digitatum both in vitro and in detached oranges, reducing disease severity by 77%, suggesting its potential in fruit storage

The frequent use of synthetic pesticides to control Aedes aegypti population can lead to environmental and/or human contamination and the emergence of resistant insects. Linalool and methyl cinnamate are presented as an alternative to the synthetic pesticides, since they can exhibit larvicidal, repellent and/or insecticidal activity and are considered safe for use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the larvicidal activity of methyl cinnamate, linalool and methyl cinnamate/linalool in combination (MC-L) (1:4 ratio, respectively) against Aedes aegypti.
