Proteolytic and nematicidal potential of the compost colonized by Hypsizygus marmoreus.

Spent mushroom compost (SMC) is a residue generated in edible mushrooms production, such as Hypsizygus marmoreus. Its genome was recently sequenced, demonstrating cuticle-degrading protease genes. The present work aims to investigate the proteases from H.

Role of Synadenium grantii latex proteases in nematicidal activity on Meloidogyne incognita and Panagrellus redivivus.

Synadenium grantii is a Euphorbiaceae plant commonly found in Brazil, known as Janaúba or Leitosinha, whose latex is traditionally used for several purposes. However, it is not known whether the nematicidal action of this plant latex occurs due to the action of proteases. The present work aims to evaluate the nematicidal activity of proteases from Synadenium grantii latex on Meloidogyne incognita and Panagrellus redivivus.

Statistical tools application on dextranase production from Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC4) and its application on dextran removal from sugarcane juice.

The aim of this study was to optimize the dextranase production by fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC4) and evaluate its activity in dextran reduction in sugarcane juice. The effects, over the P. chlamydosporia dextranase production, of different components from the culture medium were analyzed by Plackett-Burman design and central composite design.

In vitro and in silico characterization of a novel dextranase from .

The objective of this study was to purify, characterize, and phylogenetically and structurally analyze the dextranase produced by the fungus . Dextranase produced by the fungus was purified to homogeneity in two steps, with a yield of 152%, purification factor of 6.84 and specific activity of 358.

Minimum cocktail of cellulolytic multi-enzyme complexes obtained from white rot fungi via solid-state fermentation.

The objective of this work was to optimize the total cellulase activity of the crude extract cocktails from five white rot fungi produced by solid-state fermentation, by means of the central composite design. The white rot fungi PLO 06, PLE 04, TRAM 01, PYC 02 and PC were tested. For optimization process aiming at the maximum value of total cellulase activity (FPAse), the multi-enzyme cellulase complexes (crude extracts) of each fungus were mixed simultaneously in different proportions.
