Microorganisms are a promising source of new molecules and a good alternative in the search for antimicrobials. However, their cultivation conditions can influence both their development and their production of biomolecules. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of photoexposure on the antimicrobial activity of eight basidiomycetes. These were grown on malt agar medium, at room temperature, maintained...
The objective of this work was to assess the mycelial growth of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) cultivated in sawdust of Simarouba amara. Evaluations were made for the effect of temperatures 22, 25, 27, 30 and 35°C on the mycelial growth of P. ostreatus in 3% malt-agar and SDA-MA (infusion of S. amara sawdust, enriched with soybean meal-dextrose-agar) media; and the mycelial growth in cultivation substrat...
This paper presents data about level of decay, natural durability and susceptibility to wood-rotting fungi and termites in half-buried heartwood stakes of 46 Amazon wood species exposed for more than 8 and 10 years.
