- Contribution to integrated studies for leaf-cutting ants control: obtaining natural products from microorganisms and plants, optimizing active natural products production and developing new complexes from natural products-metals, BP.PD
Abstract
The predatory power of leaf-cutting ants and their power to transform the soil have been known for centuries. The use of plants for the control of ants is known to farmers and can be better explored using chemosystematic knowledge of plants. Obtaining natural products from plants or microorganisms with potential insecticidal or fungicidal action on the nest of leaf-cutting ants, as well...
- Investigation of biosynthetic routes of polyketides and alkaloids from marine microorganisms, BP.PD
Abstract
Merine-derived fungi are considered a particularly important group as a source of bioactive natural products. Among the natural products isolated from these fungi, polyketides constitute the largest number of metabolites, which often have biological activities. The objective of this project is to investigate biosynthetic routes of polyketides and alkaloids which have already been isolat...
