Abstract This study investigates the impact of moisture and wheat bran supplementation on biological efficiency (BE) nutritional profile Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm cultivated peels Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey. Utilizing a factorial design, variations in substrate composition were systematically analyzed to determine optimal conditions for mushroom yield. The methodology encompassed strain acquisition, spawn preparation, fruiting induction, calculation, chemical analysis both...
<abstract> <p>Although yeasts of the <italic>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</italic> species are industrially significant, few studies have investigated their presence in environmental samples from Amazon rainforest. This study aimed to isolate <italic>S. associated with trees Forest and investigate thermotolerance, alcohol tolerance, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) characteristics, along those regional strains previous research reference industry. We collected...
During investigations of freshwater ascomycetes we found one interesting taxon from Aomori (Japan), as well three additional taxa North Carolina (USA), which were morphologically similar to Minutisphaera, a recently described fungus in the Dothideomycetes. The ascomata all collections bore dark hair-like structures around ostiolar region, obovoid obclavate bitunicate asci, and septate hyaline brown ascospores with sheath (in material Japan), both appendages USA). apothecial these taxa,...
A survey of freshwater ascomycetes conducted along an elevational gradient in Perú the Districts Cusco, Junín, and Madre de Dios yielded specimens Cancellidium applanatum, Cordana abramovii, Sporoschisma juvenile, S. uniseptatum, saccardoi. With exception saccardoi, these are new records for Perú. Molecular data was generated three previously unsequenced species: abramovii These taxa reported herein from neotropics with accompanying phylogeny based on partial 28S nuclear ribosomal...
Gyromitra is a widespread genus of macroscopic apothecial ascomycetes whose taxa may be mycorrhizal, saprophytic or parasitic. Nuclear ribosomal 28S large subunit sequence data from 35 specimens North America, along with sequences available in GenBank, were used maximum-parsimony, maximum-likelihood and Bayesian analyses to reconstruct phylogeny America. sensu lato forms monophyletic group within the Discinaceae composed five distinct subgenera 11 well supported clades that include Discina,...
Aquatic ecosystems in tropical forests have a high diversity of microorganisms, including fungi, which are important decomposers submerged wood. Despite the importance their role decomposition, research concerning freshwater fungi from Brazilian Amazonian environments is scarce. The aim this work was to describe composition and present on wood two lakes Amazon (State Pará). Fragments decaying (30 samples per lake) were collected Lakes Juá Maicá. inspected for 6 months presence fungal...
