The use of fungi to obtain chitin and chitosan has advantages such as handling, extraction, and production control, thus allowing to generate high quality chitosan. This study aimed to isolate and identify strains of Cunninghamella spp., and assess the production of biomass, chitin, and chitosan. We determined the macroscopic and microscopic phenotypic aspects of the superiors, mycelial growth rate index, consu...

In this study, eight endophytic fungi were isolated from the leaves, stems and roots of Michelia champaca. The isolates were screened and evaluated for their antifungal, anticancer and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities. All of the extracts exhibited potent activity against two evaluated phytopathogenic fungi. Chemical investigation of EtOAc extracts of the endophytic fungus Colletotrichum gloeos...
Italian immigration in the west of Paraná State contributed for the development of small meat industries. The colonial Italian-type salami is one of the main commercialized meat products in this region, therefore making necessary its quality evaluation. The aim of this work is to verify whether the composition of the colonial salami is in accordance with Brazilian law, and the nutritional facts information on t...
