Plants and living organisms emit, detect and respond to chemical stimuli, thus creating an almost unlimited number of interactions through chemical signals. Most of these molecules are classified as secondary metabolites and are an important area of research in our country. Technological and intellectual advances in the last two decades have allowed the development of analyzes of natural …
The world population has continually increasing which implies in a continuous need of increasing production of food, juices, biofuels for human survival and, as the Brazil is a country with continental dimension and has suitable climate for numerous agricultural practices, it can become the largest producer of these inputs. Nowadays, the agribusiness in Brazil represents 25% of Gross Do…

Natural products are compounds with prominent biological interactions. Their high complexity and chemical diversity have made them promising sources for the development of pharmacological therapies. Proteases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Among the different classes of proteases, cysteine proteases make up a subclass that is comprised of the amino acid cystein…
Research into debilitating human health conditions caused by resistant pathogens and the employment of advanced technologies over the past decade have not yielded as many positive results as anticipated. Thus, Science observes the return of discoveries in the area of Natural Products (NP). Brazil is endowed with enormous biodiversity of flora and fauna, which makes it possible to explore …
Fusariosis is a disease caused by fungi of the genus Fusarium, notable for their extremely aggressive character, being responsible for immense annual losses in economically important crops. The genus Trichoderma is recognized as a natural antagonist of several fungal species, thus acting as an important biological control agent: commercial biofungicides derived from its species act to sup…
Fungi constitute a diverse and widely spread kingdom in all regions of the biosphere, implying that, in the course of evolution, adaptation mechanisms in the face of adverse situations have become necessary. Today it is known that such microorganisms, especially filamentous fungi, have a series of genes that are grouped differently from the genes that encode molecules essential to the lif…
Proteases are biological macromolecules responsible for protein degradation and their imbalance is related to several pathologies. Fruits such as papaya and pineapple have a high content of proteases, most of which are papain-like cysteine proteases, which participate in the plant's defense system against pathogens.However, some fungi can infect them, suggesting that they produce protease…

This work intends to explore Fusarium guttiforme and Fusarium proliferatum, invasive species in pineapples, through their cultivation in the laboratory in different cultivation media and co-cultivation to access silent biosynthetic pathways and obtain new bioactive metabolites from these interactions. Thus, it is possible to access and expand the chemodiversity of these microorganisms due…
