| Abstract | |
The fungos Humicola grisea var. thermoidea was submmited to different growth conditions, aiming to determine the best condition for the conidia production, mycelia growth and production of secondary metabolites bearing biological activities, as well. For that, it was evaluated both deferent fermentative media (Czapek, Jackson and Vogel) and incubation time (72, 96, 120, 144, 168 e 192 hours), under 120 RPM. The fungus was also cultivated in solid medium using enriched rice in different times of incubation in two batches of 60 and 90 days of fermentation. All fermentations were undertaken at 40ºC. From the fermetation in liquid media it was obtained the extracts in ethyl acetate and n- butanol, from the broth, respectively, and in methanol from the mycelium. From the solid media (rice) it was obtained the ethyl acetate extract. The obtained extracts were submitted to bioautography assay by applying 10 L of a solution containing 30 mg/mL of each extract against the following bacteria strains: Kocuria rhizophila (ATCC 9341), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 14885). The extracts em ethyl acetate and methanol obtained from from Czapek and Vogel media at 144, 168 e 192 hours displayed activity against K. rhizophila and S. aureus. The extracts obtained from the solid medium and the ethyl acetate extract from the Czapek nediun at 192 hours were evaluated using the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) in microplates, aiming to determine the MIC values for these extracts against both K. rhizophila and S. aureus. The most active extract (ethyl acetate) was the one obtained from solid media cultivated for 90 days, furnishing the MIC values of 350 g/mL and 250 g/mL against S. aureus and K. rhizophila, respectively. All the obtained extracts were submitted to HPLC chromatography and the best chromatographic profiles were displayed by both ethyl acetate extracts from Czapek and enriched rice media. The cultivation in rice media was simple and produced the highest yield of extract, as well as displayed the lowest CIM in comparison with the extracts obtained from the broth of liquid media. Therefore, the fungus was cultivated in a larger scale in rice aiming to obtain enough amount of ethyl acetate extract to allow the isolation of the major active compounds by chromatographic means. Thus, six compounds were isolated, from which three were identified so far: dimethyl tereftalate, p-hidroxyphenylacetic acid and the one lactam. The lactam was isolated for the firs time from a soil fungus, and it was previous isolated only from a marine sponge (Halichondria melanodocia) infested by algae. However, the obtained MIC values for these compounds were very high. Even though, other biological assays, such as: anticancer and antiparasitic, among other will be undertaken to evaluate the potential of the isolated compounds. (AU) | |
