Production of 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-4-methylphthalide in a culture of Penicillium...
Valente,Angela M.M.P.; Ferreira,Antonio G.; Daolio,Cristina; Rodrigues Filho,Edson; Boffo,Elisangela F.; Souza,Antonia Q.L.; Sebastianes,Fernanda L.S.The chemical reactions carried out by microorganisms have been used as a tool in modern chemistry. This paper reports the production of mycophenolic acid and a new phthalide by the endophytic fungus Penicillium crustosum obtained from coffee seeds. The fungus was cultivated in a liquid medium for a period of seven days and after that the culture medium was divided into four treatments: A, B, C and D, to which d...
Production, extraction and characterization of exopolysaccharides produced by t...
Paulo,Elinalva M.; Boffo,Elisangela F.; Branco,Alexsandro; Valente,Ângela M.M.P.; Melo,Itamar S.; Ferreira,Antonio G.; Roque,Milton R.A.The genus Leuconostoc belongs to a group of lactic acid bacteria usually isolated from fermented vegetables, which includes species involved in the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS). These biopolymers possess considerable commercial potential. Because of the wide variety of industrial applications of EPS, this study aimed to produce and characterize the native exopolysaccharide strain Leuconostoc pseudomes...
