Discovery of new griseofulvin-producing fungal endophyte species Xylaria ellisii isolated from highbush and wild blueberry leaves and stems. (A) Isolation and culturing of fungal endophyte, (B) LC-UV comparative profile analysis of crude filtrate extracts at λ 210 nm, revealing differences in metabolite production, (C) Most likely tree from a RAxML analysis of ITS dataset containing representative endophytes. Culture numbers precede the species name and RAxML bootstrap support percentages ≥50 from a summary of 1000 replicates are presented at the branch nodes. This tree was rooted with Mucor ellipsoideus (ATCC MYA-4767; NR_111683) and the scale bar represents the number of substitutions per site.
