Tropical ecosystems hold an extremely diverse array of endophytic fungi, but their potential use still remains to be explored. In this study, we isolated fungus from the leaves Otoba gracilipes, a medicinal tree tropical rainforest in Colombia. Following isolation and cultivation, evaluated its extracellular crude extract for antioxidant activity. Using traditional molecular methods (ITS1, NL1 regions), endophyte was identified as Fusarium oxysporum. Fresh spores fungal isolate were...
SuperPro Designer® is a process simulator software used for analyzing the techno-economic feasibility of large-scale bioprocesses. Its predetermined built-in features allow easy implementation by non-experts, but lack examples limits its appropriation. This study aims to validate non-experts analysis anaerobic digestion in Colombia, using vinasse as feedstock. These results demonstrate financial such when processing flow rate 25 m3/h ensured. Additionally, this validates manageability tool...
Bioactive secondary metabolite production from endophytic fungi has gained a recurring research focus in recent decades as these microorganisms represent an unexplored biological niche for their diverse biotechnological potential. Despite this focus, studies involving tropical endophytes remain scarce, particularly those isolated medicinal plants of ecosystems. In addition, the state art pharmaceutical industry experienced stagnation past 30years, which pushed pathogenic infections to get...
Fungal laccases are promising for biotechnological applications, including bioremediation and dye biotransformation, due to their high redox potential broad substrate specificity. However, current bioprospecting methods identifying laccase-producing fungi can be challenging time-consuming. For early detection, it was developed a three-step, multi-criteria weighting system that evaluates fungal strains based on: First, the biotransformation capacity of three dyes (i.e., Congo red, brilliant...
The integration of metabolomics-based approaches into the discovery pipeline has enabled improved mining and prioritization prolific secondary metabolite producers such as endophytic fungi. However, relying on automated untargeted analysis tools might lead to misestimation chemical complexity harbored in these organisms. Our study emphasizes importance isolation structure elucidation respective metabolites addition deep metabolome for correct interpretation metabolomics molecular networking....
Marine cyanobacteria are noted for their ability to excrete metabolites with biotic properties. This paper focuses on such exometabolites obtained from the culture of marine filamentous cyanobacterium Geitlerinema sp. strain, purification and subsequent analyses. By this means recoveries active compounds, a prerequisite properly determining concentration, quantified here first time. We demonstrate new procedure using Amberlite XAD-1180 resin in combination eluent isopropanol extraction media...
Aromas and flavours can be produced from fungi by either de novo synthesis or biotransformation processes. Herein, the biocatalytic potential of seven basidiomycete species Colombia fungal strains isolated as endophytes basidioma was evaluated. Ganoderma webenarium, chocoense, stipitatum were most potent capable decolourizing β,β-carotene evidence their biocatalysts for aroma synthesis. Since a species’ cannot solely determined via qualitative screening using processes, we focused on...
Microalgae provides an alternative for the valorization of industrial by-products, in which nutritional content varies substantially and directly affects microalgae system performance. Herein, heterotrophic cultivation Chlorella sorokiniana was systematically studied, allowing us to detect a deficiency other than carbon source through assessing oxygen transfer rate glucose or acetate fermentation. Consequently, mathematical model iron co-limiting effect on developed by exploring its ability...
Glycolipids have become an ecofriendly alternative to chemically obtained surfactants, mainly for the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries. However, sustainable production of these compounds is still challenging, because: (i) water a recognized inhibitor, (ii) multiphases make use cosolvent reaction medium necessary, (iii) there are difficulties in finding source both starting materials. This study used sugars lipids from peach palm fruit shells or model as substrates synthesize...
