This fungus is responsible for several plant diseases which affect crop productivity and industry. Although secondary metabolites may play a role in disease development, there are very few reports on M. phaseolina metabolomics and, as far as we know, isolates from eucalypts have not been investigated for secondary metabolites production. In the present paper, metabolites typical of fungi, from the family Botryosphaeriaceae, were identified for the first time as products of M. phaseolina. Furthermore, the isolate under examination was grown in the presence and absence of host stem tissue, and metabolite profiles were compared. Five products are reported for the first time in this species and azelaic acid was exclusively produced in the presence of eucalypt stem. Finally, phytotoxicity and cytotoxicity tests of culture filtrates and crude organic extracts were also performed. Key Contribution: Lipophilic metabolites produced by M. phaseolina might play a role in the plant-fungus interactions responsible for serious diseases of E. globulus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/agriculture10030072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,12]],"date-time":"2020-03-12T12:22:51Z","timestamp":1584015771000},"page":"72","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Secondary Metabolites Produced by Macrophomina phaseolina Isolated from Eucalyptus globulus"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8318-3065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Michela","family":"Salvatore","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Naples \u2018Federico II\u2019, 80126 Naples, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9813-9400","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carina","family":"F\u00e9lix","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, CESAM, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Fernanda","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, CESAM, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8378-1719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vanessa","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, CESAM, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5191-7669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniele","family":"Naviglio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Naples \u2018Federico II\u2019, 80126 Naples, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0212-1271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Salvatore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Naples \u2018Federico II\u2019, 80126 Naples, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6849-6004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Sofia","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dental Medicine, Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Health (CIIS), Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 3504-505 Viseu, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0117-2958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Artur","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, CESAM, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8949-3654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Andolfi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Naples \u2018Federico II\u2019, 80126 Naples, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2239-2976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Cristina","family":"Esteves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dental Medicine, Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Health (CIIS), Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 3504-505 Viseu, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"House, S.M.
