HIGHLIGHTS
- Penicillium is the dominant genus in rhizospheric funga associated with Austrocedrus chilensis
- Some species of Penicillium inhibits Phytophthora austrocedri growth
- Penicillium community may vary between healthy sites and sites affected by P. austrocedri
- Penicillium species could be used in a formulation of a control strategy

ABSTRACT
The aims of this study were to prospect Penicillium and Talaromyces species associated with
Austrocedrus chilensis in sites with and without Austrocedrus Root Disease (ARD), which
is caused by the pathogen Phytophthora austrocedri; and to find Penicillium sp. strains with
biocontrol activity against this disease. Isolations from sites with and without the prevalence
of ARD were made, and the obtained isolates were phenotypically and molecularly
identified to species level. Several Penicillium species were isolated from all sites; five of
them were exclusively isolated from sites with ARD. Penicillium communities were compared
through multivariate analyses; communities were more complex in sites with ARD.
Biocontrol activity of Penicillium and Talaromyces isolates was evaluated using co-cultures
with Ph. austrocedri. Penicillium glabrum, T. amestolkiae, P. palitans, and P. crustosum
showed the highest biocontrol effect. Our results highlight that Penicillium species have
high biocontrol activity, which also reinforces the hypothesis that some Penicillium species
could be used in formulating a control strategy.
