<p><strong> Objective</strong>. To determine amylolytic, cellulolytic, lipolytic, pectinolytic and proteolytic activities in 32 <em>Fusarium</em> spp. isolates from humans, animals and plants. <strong>Materials and methods</strong>. Qualitative determination of enzymatic activities was done by measuring hydrolysis halos in agar plates with their corresponding substrate. Quantitative determination was done by colorimetric techniques, using liquid culture supernatants to determine the respective substrate degradation. <strong>Results</strong>. All isolates showed enzymatic activities from a qualitative point of view, except amylolytic and lipolytic. Quantitative determination was possible for all the evaluated enzymes except lipases. <strong>Conclusion.</strong> The determination of amylolytic, cellulolytic, pectinolytic and proteolytic enzymatic profiles of each of the <em>Fusarium</em> isolates assessed suggests their capacity to degrade these substrates, irrespectively of their origin.</p> <p><strong>Key words</strong>: <em>Fusarium</em>, multihost pathogen, amylases, celluloses, pectinases, proteases, lipases</p> <p><strong> </strong></p><br />
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
