Selection of Antarctic yeasts as gray mold biocontrol agents in strawberry.

The postharvest disease popularly known as gray mold is considered one of the most limiting factors strawberry fruit production. The most effective way to control this disease is still the use of chemical fungicides. However, other alternative sources of control are being explored.

Extracts from the Leaf of (Aubl.): Phytochemical, Toxicological Analysis and Evaluation of Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities against Oral Microorganisms.

The study of phytotherapy in dentistry holds great relevance because of the scarcity of research conducted on the treatment of oral pathologies, specifically, caries and periodontal disease. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the chemical composition of extracts from Aubl. leaves, evaluate their toxicity, and assess their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties against , , and .

Development of Araticum ( Mart.) jams: evaluation of physical, microbiological, and sensorial stability in different packages.

Araticum is an exotic fruit with unique sensory features and also high nutritional value characteristics. This study aimed to develop araticum jams with substitution of commercial pectin for passion fruit albedo, as well as to evaluate its physical, microbiological and sensorial stability during storage in polyethylene and polypropylene packages. Samples were analyzed at 25 and 35 °C for 130 days.

Use of Probiotics to Control Aflatoxin Production in Peanut Grains.

Probiotic microorganisms (Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii, S. cerevisiae UFMG 905, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii UFV H2b20) were evaluated as biological control agents to reduce aflatoxin and spore production by Aspergillus parasiticus IMI 242695 in peanut.

The influence of carbohydrates in the interaction of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis with CCL-6 cells in vitro.

Introduction: Little is known about the early events in the interaction between Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and its host. To understand the effect of carbohydrates in the interaction between the fungus and epithelial cell in culture, we analyzed the influence of different carbohydrate solutions on the adhesion of P. brasiliensis yeast cells to CCL-6 cells in culture.
