Endophytic microbiome assembly can be explained by ecological processes occurring during the plant development, such as dispersion, drift, selection, and diversification. The plant's physiology is influenced by biotic and abiotic factors and can therefore vary substantially throughout its life cycle. In turn, these variations consequently modify the structure and functions of the endophyt…
The Hepatitis C virus causes chronic infections in humans, which can develop to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The Bovine viral diarrhea virus is used as a surrogate model for antiviral assays for the HCV. From marine invertebrates and microorganisms isolated from them, extracts were prepared for assessment of their possible antiviral activity. Of the 128 tested, 2 were con…
Antarctic marine ecosystem is a unique and extreme environment that remains underexplored. The microbial diversity of sea water and sediment Antarctica and glaciers and lakes, has been recently revealed by examining libraries of clones 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Several sequences have been known at the rate heterotrophic closely related to the cultivated species, including members of Gamma-a…
Natural products produced by microorganisms have been an important source of new substances and lead compounds for pharmaceutical industry. Chromobacterium violaceum is a Gram negative ²-Proteobacteria, abundant in water and soil in tropical and subtropical regions and produce violacein, a pigment that has shown great pharmaceutical potential. Crude extracts of five Brazilian isolates of …
Actinobacteria are Gram-positive bacteria with high G+C content and high potential of producing many secondary metabolites. Actinomycetes are many studied due to high potential in producing antibiotics is very common to observe the appearance of these bacteria in the soil, but is marine habitat with most marine diversity of the planet , and it is estimated that new habitats still actinomy…
Microorganisms have been discovered and characterized in various environments, including cultivated fields, hot springs, oceans, and plant and animal hosts. This interest is due to the important biotechnological potential of their products metabolites. The compounds derived from bacteria and fungi are potential targets in the industry, pharmaceutical mainly due to the fact that the cultiv…
The marine environment presents a very vast biodiversity and, until now, little explored. The investigation of the potential of biodiversity in producing natural compounds against diseases that bring harm to public health and the environment is of paramount importance. Recently, some investigations of the biotechnological potential of the marine environment as a source of new drugs has be…
