Os fungos endofíticos são uma rica fonte de metabólitos de importância agrícola e farmacêutica, por isso o presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar quimicamente os metabólitos secundários produzidos pelo fungo Pseudofusicoccum sp., isolados dos galhos de Manilkara sp. visando identificar o potencial biotecnológico da linhagem em produzir substâncias de interesse industrial. Inicialmente, o fungo foi culti...
The search for natural products capable of controlling phytopathogens is a growing need because of concern for both food safety and the environment. In this context, Bacillus subtilis stands out due to its potential in producing a large variety of lipopeptides with antifungal activity. Therefore, the general objective of the present work was to quantify, purify and verify the fungicidal action of the lipopeptid...
The residue of passion fruit, the peel represents 90% of the total weight of fresh fruit, which is wasted during the passion fruit processing. This waste can be recycled with the recovery of bioactive substances and pectin that have added value. These compounds have applicability in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetic industries. In this context, the aim of this study was to extract bioactive compou...
Studies on new microbial sources of cellulase and accurate assessment of the steps that increase cellulase production are essential strategies to reduce costs of various processes using such enzymes. This study aimed at the selection of cellulase-producing filamentous fungi, and at the research of parameters involving cellulase production by submerged fermentation. The first test consisted of selecting the best...
