Item Nematicidal activity of Paecilomyces marquandii proteases on infective larvae of Ancylostoma spp(Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2016-01) Genier, Hugo Leonardo André; Queiroz, José Humberto de; Braga, Fabio Ribeiro; Soares, Filippe Elias de Freitas; Araújo, Jackson Victor de; Pinheiro, Iara RebouçasThe present study aimed to evaluate the action of Paecilomyces marquandii proteases on Ancylostoma spp L3. White halos in the zymogram confirmed the proteolytic action. Difference (p <0.01) between the number of L3 in the differents groups was found, with 41.4% of reduction of Ancylostoma spp. L3 before 24 hours.Item Nematicidal action of Pleurotus eryngii metabolites(Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology, 2017-10) Sufiate, Bruna Leite; Soares, Filippe Elias de Freitas; Moreira, Samara Silveira; Gouveia, Angélica de Souza; Monteiro, Thalita Suelen Avelar; Freitas, Leandro Grassi de Freita; Queiroz, José Humberto dePleurotus eryngii is one of the most cultivated and consumed mushroom species in North Africa, Europe and Asia. Fungi from Pleurotus genus have demonstrated nematophagous activities, however most of the literature reports are focused on Pleurotus ostreatus. The aim of this work was to evaluate P. eryngii action on Panagrellus sp. and to evaluate the effect of this fungus culture extract on Meloidogyne javanica eggs. P. eryngii fungus and its extract significantly reduced (p < 0.01) the number of intact Panagrellus sp. larvae after 24 h treatment in 60% and 90%, respectively. This effect is not related to enzymatic activity, but to the presence of other metabolites. M. javanica eggs, when treated with P. eryngii extract, showed a 53% reduction (p < 0.01) in the number of intact eggs. The M. javanica intact eggs reduction is attributed to enzymatic activity, once the extract showed proteolytic and chitinolytic activities of, respectively, 32.74 and 3.57 U/mL. P. eryngii fungus has predatory activity against Panagrellus sp. larvae due to toxins production and negatively affects M. javanica eggs and juveniles development due to chitinases and proteases production, evidencing this fungus potential to be used in biological control.Item Diversity of soil-dwelling Trichoderma in Colombia and their potential as biocontrol agents against the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary(Journal of General Plant Pathology, 2012-11-24) Smith, Alexander; Beltrán, Camilo A.; Kusunoki, Manabu; Cotes, Alba M.; Motohashi, Keiichi; Kondo, Takumasa; Deguchi, MichihitoTwenty-one isolates of Trichoderma spp. were collected from eight states in Colombia and characterized based on the 5′ end of the translation elongation factor-1α (EF1-α1) gene and RNA polymerase II gene encoding the second largest protein subunit (RPB2) by using mixed primers. Seven species of soil-dwelling Trichoderma were found: T. atroviride, T. koningiopsis, T. asperellum, T. spirale, T. harzianum, T. brevicompactum and T. longibrachiatum. Species identifications based on the EF1-α1 gene were consistent with those obtained from the RPB2 gene. Phylogenetic analyses with high bootstrap values supported the validity of the identification of all isolates. These results suggest that using the combination of the genes EF1-α1 and RPB2 is highly reliable for molecular characterization of Trichoderma species. Trichoderma asperellum Th034, T. atroviride Th002 and T. harzianum Th203 prevented germination of more than 70 % of sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in bioassay tests and are promising biological control agents. No relationship between mycelium growth rate and parasitism level was found.Item Modulation of human immune response by fungal biocontrol agents(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017-02-03) Mendes, Tiago A. de Oliveira; Konstantinovas, Cibele; Vannier-Santos, Marcos A.; Lima-Santos, JaneAlthough the vast majority of biological control agents is generally regarded as safe for humans and environment, the increased exposure of agriculture workers, and consumer population to fungal substances may affect the immune system. Those compounds may be associated with both intense stimulation, resulting in IgE-mediated allergy and immune downmodulation induced by molecules such as cyclosporin A and mycotoxins. This review discusses the potential effects of biocontrol fungal components on human immune responses, possibly associated to infectious, inflammatory diseases, and defective defenses.
