Tolerance to phenanthrene by fungi isolated from an ecological reserve of Mato ...
Schneider, Giovana; Souza, Felipe Soares de; Oliveira, João Arthur dos Santos; Souza, Hilton Marcelo de LimaThe selection of species with potential to degrade Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a fundamental step for the success of bioremediation programs. Among some methods, the contaminant tolerance test of interest has helped researchers to obtain organisms with the potential to degrade PAHs. Thus, the objective of this work was to analyze the potential of fungi, isolated from an ecological reserve in the ...
Plant growth-promoting activity of wild-type and bromate-resistant mutant of th...
Oliveira, João Arthur dos Santos; Ferreira, Ana Paula; Polli, Andressa Domingos; Silva, Angela Aparecida da; Ribeiro, Amanda da SilvaEndophytes may play important roles in agriculture. Spontaneous or induced mutant strains may increase their biotechnological properties. Seventeen Colletotrichum endophytic fungi were investigated for their plant growth-promoting characteristics (in vitro phosphate solubilization, IAA, and siderophore production). The five best strains were inoculated into bean seeds, and the most prominent isolate was selecte...
Bioprospection and molecular phylogeny of culturable endophytic fungi associate...
Oliveira, João Arthur dos Santos; Polli, Andressa Domingos; Polonio, Julio Cesar; Orlandelli, Ravely Casarotti; Conte, Hélio; Azevedo, João LúcioEndophytic microorganisms live inside the plants without causing any damage to their hosts. In the agricultural field, these endophytes might be a strategy of biological control for phytopathogens. We aimed to isolate endophytic fungi from yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) leaves, evaluating its biocontrol capacity by in vitro antagonism against phytopathogen Colletotrichum sp. CNPU378. We also carried o...
