Draft genome sequence of endophytically isolated from roots of .

is a medicinal plant that harbors a remaining unknown microbiome. Those plants are known for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and are widely found in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Herein, we report the isolation of the endophyte GPP30 with a draft genome estimated at 4.

Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Polyalthic Acid Analogs.

Polyalthic acid (PA) is a diterpene found in copaiba oil. As a continuation of our work with PA, we synthesized PA analogs and investigated their antibacterial effects on preformed biofilms of and determined the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the best analogs against planktonic bacterial cells. There was no difference in activity between the amides and and their corresponding amines and regarding their ability to eradicate biofilm.

Endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria associated with and its potential for plant growth promotion with different phosphate sources.

The genus belongs to the family Poaceae and has several species that are native to Brazil. The Germplasm Bank (GB) of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation comprises approximately 450 accessions from 50 species. Among these accessions, (BGP 308) has economic potential for forage purposes.

Discovery of a Novel Lineage ST 1870 Endophytically Isolated from Medicinal Which Shows Potent Antileishmanial and Antimicrobial Effects.

In this study, we report the isolation and identification of an endophytic strain of (COPS strain) associated with roots. plants are rich sources of promising microbiomes, of which the literature reports several pharmacological effects, such as trypanocidal, antinociceptive, anesthetic, anxiolytics, and anticonvulsant activities. COPS belongs to a new sequence type (ST 1870) and harbors a genome estimated in 8.

Liquid Fungal Cocultivation as a Strategy to Access Bioactive Metabolites.

Fungi are a rich source of bioactive compounds. Fungal cocultivation is a method of potentiating chemical interactions and, consequently, increasing bioactive molecule production. In this study, we evaluated the bactericidal, antiprotozoal, and cathepsin V inhibition activities of extracts from axenic cultures of 6 fungi (, and ) that infest tropical fruits and 57 extracts obtained by their cocultivation.
