Antimicrobial activity of propolis from the Brazilian stingless bees Melipona q...
Campos, Jaqueline Ferreira; Bonamigo, Thaliny; Rocha, Paola dos Santos; Paula, Vanessa B.; Santos, Uilson Pereira dosMelipona quadrifasciata anthidioides and Scaptotrigona depilis are species of stingless bees capable of producing propolis, which has considerable bioprospecting potential. In this context, the objective of this study was to determine the chemical compositions and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of propolis produced by M. q. anthidioides and S. depilis. The ethanolic extracts of propolis of M. q. anthidioid...
