Extraction of bioactive compounds from using emergent technologies.

Unlabelled: Several plant species synthesize biologically active secondary metabolites. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are a large group of biotoxins produced by thousands of plant species to protect against the attack of insects and herbivores, but they are highly toxic for humans and animals. In this study, extracts from the aerial part of were obtained using different technologies: ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), and microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG).

Extraction and characterization of polysaccharide-enriched fractions from Phoma dimorpha mycelial biomass.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) were tested as advanced clean methods to obtain polysaccharides from Phoma dimorpha mycelial biomass. These methods were compared to conventional extraction (hot water extraction, HWE) in terms of polysaccharides-enriched fractions (PEF) yield. A central composite rotational design was performed for each extraction method to investigate the influence of independent variables on the yield and to help the selection of the condition with the highest yield using water as an extraction solvent.

Powder containing biomolecules from Diaporthe schini for weed control.

This study describes the use of spray drying technology to obtain a powder containing biomolecules with herbicidal activity produced by submerged fermentation using . The efficiency of the bioherbicide was tested for the post-emergence control of L., L.

An overview of fungal biopolymers: bioemulsifiers and biosurfactants compounds production.

Fungal biopolymers have gained considerable attention from the scientific community for various applications due to their biological and physicochemical properties.

Recent scientific studies have disclosed novel routes, optimized parameters, increased yields, and other related approaches in order to produce and apply fungal bioemulsifiers and biosurfactants.

Weed control by metabolites produced from .

Weed control is a critical factor to ensure productivity and quality for food production. Chemical control is the main method used worldwide, but the demand for healthier food and the farmers' health and environment concerns have led to an increase in the search for alternative control methods. In this way, the use of biomolecules produced by microorganisms that present phytotoxic activity against weeds, such as exopolysaccharides, is attracting attention.

Different techniques for concentration of extracellular biopolymers with herbicidal activity produced by sp.

The natural ability of microorganisms to secrete high levels of bioactive compounds make them attractive hosts for producing novel compounds. Microbial biopolymers have potential applications in most of the sectors of the world economy. According to the physicochemical properties, they present some advantages, such as biodegradability, reproducibility, and stability.

Concentration of exopolysaccharides produced by and application of bioproduct as an effective bioherbicide.

Exopolysaccharides are secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms and are a subject of research in many fields of science and industry due to some of their confirmed properties, especially in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical areas. In this context, the objectives of this work were to evaluate the potential of for producing exopolysaccharides and to concentrate such compounds in order to increase the herbicidal activity. Exopolysaccharides were produced by submerged fermentation and different concentration methods (membranes, lyophilization, and evaporation) were evaluated.

Concentration of metabolites from sp. using microfiltration membrane for increasing bioherbicidal activity.

This study is focused on the concentration of fermented broth from sp. to increase its herbicidal activity. For this purpose, biomolecules produced by submerged fermentation using sp.

Extracts from Lupinus albescens: antioxidant power and antifungal activity in vitro against phytopathogenic fungi.

Fungi are considered the most damaging microorganisms in agriculture. The indiscriminate use of chemical treatments in agricultural products causes the development of pest resistance and affects human health. An alternative to synthetic fungicides is the use of natural products such as plant extracts for the management of fungal diseases in plants.
