Non-alkaloid nitrogen-containing compounds from fungi
| Resumo: | Fungi represent an ancient ubiquitous and interesting kingdom that can be classified into Phycomycota, Oomycota, Microsporidiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Deuteromycota divisions. These microorganisms are considered as a reservoir of bioactive compounds that can be exploited in crucial fields: food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries. Non-alkaloid nitrogenated compounds are considered a prolific bouquet composed of proteins such as enzymes playing an essential role in the synthesis of compounds that are involved in vital life processes, lytic enzymes possessing depleting effects, antibiotics, toxins applied as antimicrobials and antifungals, immunosuppressive molecules, etc. Moreover, a number of species found in phyla like Oomycota and Microsporidiomycota have been and are still used as biological control agents for crops as a counterpart to chemical products. |
