Providing inoculum for Didymella bryoniae studies: the effect of light spectrum and storing at low temperature

Braz. j. biol; 84 (), 2024
Abstract The in vitro sporulation of Didymella bryoniae is of great importance for studies that require pure inoculum and in large quantities. Thus, the objectives of this study were to identify the best condition for D. bryoniae sporulation combining different light spectra (UV-A or UV-B light, white li...

Biological efficiency and nutritional value of Pleurotus ostreatus cultivated in agroindustrial wastes of palm oil fruits and cocoa almonds

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
The cocoa and palm oil agro-industries active in the state of Bahia, Brazil, generate high quantities of lignocellulosic wastes that could be recycled through their use in the formulation of substrates to cultivate edible mushrooms. Pleurotus ostreatus, also known as oyster mushroom, is the second most c...

Genetic characterization, evaluation of growth and production of biomass of strains from wild edible mushrooms of Lyophyllum of Central Mexico

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (3), 2018
Abstract The present study conducted a genetic characterization and determined growth rate and biomass production in solid and liquid media, using strains obtained from wild edible sporomes of Lyophyllum that grow in high mountains. Vegetative isolation was used to obtain a total of four strains, which w...

Espectrometría de masas MALDI-TOF: evaluación de la etapa preanalítica para la identificación de hongos miceliales
MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry: Evaluation of the preanalytical phase for identification of molds

Rev. argent. microbiol; 49 (1), 2017
Se evaluaron 3 metodologías de extracción de proteínas para la identificación de hongos miceliales por MALDI-TOF MS en 44 aislados: la extracción con agua-ácido fórmico (E. agua), la extracción con zirconio-etanol-acetonitrilo-ácido fórmico (E. zirconio) y la recomendada por el proveedor del eq...

A polysaccharide fraction extracted from Pleurotus ostreatus mycelial biomass inhibit Sarcoma 180 tumor

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT Fungi of Pleurotus genus have attracted a great interest due to their medicinal properties such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antitumor. These properties are attributed mainly to polysaccharides synthesized by Pleurotus. This work aimed to study the mycelial growth of P. ostreatus in s...

Production of mycelial biomass by the Amazonian edible mushroom Pleurotus albidus

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Edible mushroom species are considered as an adequate source of food in a healthy diet due to high content of protein, fiber, vitamins, and a variety of minerals. The representatives of Pleurotus genus are characterized by distinct gastronomic, nutritional, and medicinal properties among the edi...

Lectin activity in mycelial extracts of Fusarium species

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Lectins are non-immunogenic carbohydrate-recognizing proteins that bind to glycoproteins, glycolipids, or polysaccharides with high affinity and exhibit remarkable ability to agglutinate erythrocytes and other cells. In the present study, ten Fusarium species previously not explored for lectins ...

Anti-fungal potential of ozone against some dermatophytes

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Dermatophytes are classified in three genera, Epidermophyton, Microsporum and Trichophyton. They have the capacity to invade keratinized tissue to produce a cutaneous infection known as dermatophytoses. This investigation was performed to study the effect of gaseous ozone and ozonized oil on thr...

Isolation and expression of two polyketide synthase genes from Trichoderma harzianum 88 during mycoparasitism

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (2), 2016
Abstract Metabolites of mycoparasitic fungal species such as Trichoderma harzianum 88 have important biological roles. In this study, two new ketoacyl synthase (KS) fragments were isolated from cultured Trichoderma harzianum 88 mycelia using degenerate primers and analysed using a phylogenetic tree. The ...

Diagnóstico serológico de la esporotricosis mediante el empleo del antígeno de micelio de Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto

Invest. clín; 56 (2), 2015
En este estudio se desarrolló y se evaluó el ensayo por inmunoabsorción ligado a enzimas (ELISA), para la detección de anticuerpos en sueros de pacientes con esporotricosis, para lo cual se empleó un antígeno crudo de Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto obtenido a partir de la forma micelial. Los su...
