From leaves, stems and roots of healthy yellow passion fruit plants 93 isolates of endophytic fungi were obtained, with the colonization rates varying from 59.8 to 92.4% (leaves), 27.2 to 90% (stems) and 2.4 to 87.2 (roots). Twenty-nine of these isolates were evaluated for extracelular hydrolitic enzymes production (amylolitic, cellulolitic, lypolytic and proteolytic) and capacity to promove growth of yellow passion fruit seedlings. The isolates were identified as Fusarium (44.82%), Colletotrichum (37.93%), Acremonium, Glomerella, Curvularia, Alternaria and Aspergillus (3.45% each). The isolates EM11, EM50, EM172, EM20, EM81, EM72, EM135 and EM24 presented lypolytic activity with halos varying from 1.52 to 3.74 cm, and no isolate produced proteolytic, cellulolytic and amylolitic enzymes. Fifteen endophytic isolates promoted growth of yellow passion fruit seedlings, being the best EM173 (Alternaria), EM155 (Fusarium), EM139 (Curvularia), EM20 (Colletotrichum), EM6 (Acremonium) and EM151 (Colletotrichum) that increased aerial and root fresh biomass and root dry biomass of until 108.4, 204.4 and 70.2%, respectively, 90 days after the inoculation.
