Antimicrobial activity from endophytic fungi Arthrinium state of Apiospora montagnei Sacc. and Papulaspora immersa
Papulaspora immersa and Arthrinium state of Apiospora montagnei Sacc. were isolated from the roots of Smallanthus sonchifolius (yacón). The crude extracts from their cultures inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Kocuria rhizophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The more rele...

Summary: | Papulaspora immersa and Arthrinium state of Apiospora montagnei Sacc. were isolated from the roots of Smallanthus sonchifolius (yacón). The crude extracts from their cultures inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Kocuria rhizophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The more relevant results were observed in the ethyl acetate extract from P immersa against P aeruginosa (90 µg/mL) and ethyl acetate extract from Arthrinium state of A montagnei Sacc. against P aeruginosa (160 µg/mL). The two endophytic fungi isolated from yacón roots as well as their antimicrobial activity detected in the crude extracts cultures were being reported for the first time.
Mesmo havendo grandes investimentos, a resistência a fármacos continua sendo um grave problema de saúde pública. Produtos naturais têm prevalecido como a maior fonte de novas drogas e muitos deles são isolados de sistemas simbióticos: microorganismos-plantas. Os fungos endofíticos Papulaspora immersa e Arthrinium state of Apiospora montagnei Sacc. foram isolados de raízes de Smallanthus sonchifolius (yacón). Extratos de culturas destes fungos apresentaram atividade antibacteriana frente Staphylococcus aureus, Kocuria rhizophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Escherichia coli, sendo as mais relevantes observadas nas frações acetato de etila provenientes dos fungos P. immersa e Arthrinium state of Apiospora montagnei Sacc. frente a P. aeruginosa, apresentando CIM de 90µg/mL e 160µg/mL, respectivamente. |
