• Abstract

  The complexity of nature is extraordinary; the ingenious mechanisms in which microorganisms co-exist in a beneficial (endophytes) or non-beneficial (pathogens) way with the host plant always intrigued scientists with fundamental questions: Why some microorganisms live in mutualistic or neutral association with the host and others assume a pathogenic character leading to plant diseases? Wh…

• Abstract

  Phytopathogens have developed a variety of specialized virulence strategies to facilitate colonization of plant tissue, and successful infect and modulate the host plant physiology, including the production of low-molecular-weight phytotoxins (secondary metabolites). Brazil is the world's largest producer of citrus, which are susceptible to a number of diseases that cause significant loss…

• Abstract

  Biosynthesis of microbial natural products has aroused great interest in the scientific community and genetic studies of microorganisms already seem to represent the reality of modern research involving microbial biosynthesis of natural products. The fungus Penicillium brasilianum recently had its genome sequenced and the final assembly revealed 252 supercontigs which underwent gene predi…

• Abstract

  The main concern of the citrus industry worldwide is the disease known as Huanglongbing, which has caused great economic losses in citrus groves around the world. In Brazil and the United States, this disease is caused mainly by the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus and it is transmitted by the psyllid Diaphorina citri. The various problems generated by this disease arise from t…

• Abstract

  The enormous increase in the consumption of plastic materials in the last decades has led to ecological and economic concerns, which require an investigation related to the discovery of effective methods for the degradation of the polymers generated as waste in our daily life. In this context, biodegradation using microorganisms has been pointed out as a very promising alternative. The pr…

• Abstract

  The fungus Penicillium brasilianum, isolated as endophytic of Melia azedarach, presents a great potential of bioactive secondary metabolites production as verified in functional analyzes of the genome of this microorganism. The fungus Penicillium brasilianum had its genome recently sequenced and the final assembly revealed 252 supercontigs which were subjected to genetic prediction and au…
