Microorganisms from extreme environments are considered as a new and valuable reservoir of bioactive molecules of biotechnological interest and are also utilized as tools for enhancing tolerance to (a)biotic stresses in crops. In this study, the fungal endophytic community associated with the leaves of the Antarctic angiosperm Colobanthus quitensis was investigated as a new source of bioactive molecules. We isolated 132 fungal strains and taxonomically annotated 26 representative isolates, which mainly belonged to the Basidiomycota division. Selected isolates of Trametes sp., Lenzites sp., Sistotrema sp., and Peniophora sp. displayed broad extracellular enzymatic profiles; fungal extracts from some of them showed dose-dependent antitumor activity and inhibited the formation of amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein and its pathological mutant E46K. Selected fungal isolates were also able to promote secondary root development and fresh weight increase in Arabidopsis and tomato and antagonize the growth of pathogenic fungi harmful to crops. This study emphasizes the ecological and biotechnological relevance of fungi from the Antarctic ecosystem and provides clues to the bioprospecting of Antarctic Basidiomycetes fungi for industrial, agricultural, and medical applications.

“…Em seu habitat natural, endófitos produzem proteases que desempenham papel importante no controle biológico de fitopatógenos, a partir da degradação de paredes celulares de hifas dos patógenos [22]. Na indústria, é crescente a demanda por fontes alternativas de proteases, onde proteases microbianas ganham destaque por sua ampla aplicabilidade em diversos processos biotecnológicos, como o processamento de alimentos e produtos farmacêuticos, além da indústria do couro e de detergentes [8]. Penicillium janthinellum (produtor de Carboxipeptidase P) e Aspergillus oryzae (produtor de Flavorzyme) são exemplos de fungos produtores de proteases com uso comercial difundido a nível global [11].…”

“…A enzima amilase, por exemplo, é utilizada no processo de fabricação do açúcar, conferindo uma redução no teor de amido do açúcar. As lipases têm a capacidade de hidrolisar gorduras em ácidos graxos e gliceróis na interface água-lipídio e podem reverter a reação em meios não aquosos e as torna as enzimas mais utilizadas em várias aplicações industriais [8]. Proteases são responsáveis por catalisar a quebra de ligações peptídicas de proteínas em aminoácidos e peptídeos.…”

Os microrganismos endofíticos residem nos tecidos das plantas sem tipicamente causar malefícios durante parte do seu ciclo de vida e são conhecidos principalmente por seu papel benéfico para a planta hospedeira. Dentre suas diversas aplicabilidades, fungos endofíticos são uma fonte de muitas enzimas industriais interessantes, como lipases, amilases, proteases e celulases. Assim, esse trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a atividade enzimática de fungos endofíticos associados às plantas medicinais amazônicas mulateiro (Calycophyllum spruceanum) e sucuuba (Himatanthus sucuuba). Foram reativadas morfoespécies de fungos endofíticos em meio Batata-Dextrose-Ágar e incubados a 28 ºC. Os fungos reativados foram identificados pela análise macro e micromorfológica e avaliados quanto a atividade enzimática in vitro. Os fungos endofíticos de C. spruceanum avaliados produzem protease (52%), celulase (33%), lipase (33%) e amilase (24%). Os fungos endofíticos de H. sucuuba avaliados também apresentaram alto potencial na produção de enzimas extracelulares como celulase (69%), protease (62%), lipase (12%) e amilase (6%). Os gêneros fúngicos Phomopsis e Fusarium apresentaram maior quantidade de estirpes com atividade positiva. Os fungos endofíticos de C. spruceanum e H. sucuuba são promissores produtores de enzimas de interesse industrial.

“…In addition, along with the potential of using the strains to produce crude enzyme extracts, free enzymes or participate in biotransformation processes, it has been reported that these fungi produce other industrially important metabolites such as lactic acid, alkaloids, flavonoids, peptides, phenolic acids, phenols, quinones, steroids, terpenoids, among others, and are also capable of degrading polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons [49]. Not to mention that the fungi of Trichoderma sp.…”

Fungi, with all their biological and enzymatic qualities, could have great potential being implemented in industrial processes. In this study, filamentous fungi from Sonsón-Antioquia region were isolated and characterized. A morphological characterization was carried out using taxonomic keys and additionally a biochemical characterization qualitatively evaluated the amylolytic, cellulolytic, lipolytic, proteolytic, catalase, peroxidase, and laccase capacity of the strains. Furthermore, isolated fungi were molecularly identified using the LSU region of the rDNA (28S). Among the strains identified, Trichoderma sp., Penicillium sp., Mucor sp. Aspergillus sp. and Lecythophora sp. genera were found and it was observed that the analyzed fungi present at least one of the seven enzymatic activities evaluated and some genera such as Trichoderma sp. and Aspergillus sp. present even six of them. Therefore, the isolated strains show desirable characteristics in food, paper, cosmetic, and textile industries, and in areas such as bioremediation and biological control.
