Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are natural products that are easily evaporated under ambient conditions. They play a very important role in inter-species communication of microbes and their hosts. In this study, the VOCs produced by 43 different fungal isolates of endophytic and soil fungi during growth on horseradish root (Armoracia rusticana) extract or malt extract agar were examined, by using headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (headspace-GC-MS) and a high relative surface agar film as a medium. The proposed technique enabled sensitive detection of several typical VOCs (acetone, methyl acetate, methyl formate, ethyl acetate, methyl butanol isomers, styrene, beta-phellandrene), along with glucosinolate decomposition products, including allyl cyanide and allyl isothiocyanate and other sulfur-containing compounds\u2014carbon disulfide, dimethyl sulfide. The VOC patterns of fungi belonging to Setophoma, Paraphoma, Plectosphaerella, Pyrenochaeta, Volutella, Cadophora, Notophoma, and Curvularia genera were described for the first time. The VOC pattern was significantly different among the isolates. The pattern was indicative of putative myrosinase activity for many tested isolates. On the other hand, endophytes and soil fungi as groups could not be separated by VOC pattern or intensity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/metabo10110451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,8]],"date-time":"2020-11-08T19:03:37Z","timestamp":1604862217000},"page":"451","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) of Endophytic Fungi Growing on Extracts of the Host, Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4211-3823","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tam\u00e1s","family":"Plaszk\u00f3","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany, Division of Pharmacognosy, University of Debrecen, Egyetem t\u00e9r 1, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zsolt","family":"Sz\u0171cs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany, Division of Pharmacognosy, University of Debrecen, Egyetem t\u00e9r 1, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zolt\u00e1n","family":"K\u00e1llai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics and Applied Microbiology, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"},{"name":"Research Institute for Viticulture and Oenology, 3915 Tarcal, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hajnalka","family":"Csoma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics and Applied Microbiology, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G\u00e1bor","family":"Vasas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany, Division of Pharmacognosy, University of Debrecen, Egyetem t\u00e9r 1, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9776-0249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00e1ndor","family":"Gonda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany, Division of Pharmacognosy, University of Debrecen, Egyetem t\u00e9r 1, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.1016\/j.microc.2009.12.017","article-title":"A review of advances and new developments in the analysis of biological volatile organic compounds","volume":"95","author":"Zhang","year":"2010","journal-title":"Microchem.
