The multidrug resistance of pathogenic microorganisms against widely used antimicrobials has grown in recent years. Among the different sources of bioactive compounds, endophytic fungi stand out for their ability to produce important classes of bioactive substances. The present study investigated the chromatographic profiles and antimicrobial activity against 10 pathogenic strains (four included in critical priority by WHO) of the extracts of 12 endophytic fungi isolated from Tibouchina granulosa (Melastomataceae). The activity of the metabolites was evaluated using broth microdilution to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). Screening of partial chemical profiles was obtained using HPLC-DAD. Extracts of all fungi inhibited the proliferation of 4–10 pathogenic bacterial strains tested. At concentrations between 500 and 1,000 µg mL-1, Xylaria berteroi extract inhibited the growth of all strains tested, while Diaporthe oxe inhibited eight strains. Chemical analysis demonstrated diverse chromatographic profiles with the possibility of different classes of specialized metabolites, including polyketides, alkaloids, furanones, and terpenoids. Overall, endophytic fungi isolated from Tibouchina granulosa were found to synthesize different natural bioactive compounds, highlighting their potential for use in chemical prospecting and characterization.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
