Isolation, identification and screening of hidrolytic enzymes producing phylloplane yeasts

چکیده
Background Microorganisms are common colonizers of superficial (phylloplane) and internal tissues (endophyte) of a variety plant species [1]. Phylloplane yeasts are considered a promising source of new and interesting biotechnological activities, particularly hydrolytic enzymes; however, the diversity of yeasts colonizing plant phylloplane and is still poorly known for most plant species. Considering the immense diversity of Brazilian flora, which include many species with medicinal properties, this knowledge is even more limited. Given the above, this study objective to isolate, identify and to evaluate the production of hidrolytic enzymes of yeasts associated with leaves, stems and flowers of alecrim-do-campo (Baccharis dracunculifolia DC), a plant recognized as the main source of exudates used by bees to produce green propolis and also, for its medicinal properties.

The isolation and characterization of resident yeasts from the phylloplane of Arabidopsis thaliana
The genetic model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (arabidopsis) has been instrumental to recent advances in our understanding of the molecular function of the plant immune system. However, this work has not yet included plant associated and phytopathogenic yeasts largely due to a lack of yeast species known to interact with arabidopsis. The plant phylloplane is a significant habitat for neutral-resi...

The application of new probiotics is a good strategy in the biological control of infectious diseases in aquaculture. Approximately 100 marine actinobacteria isolates were obtained from 10 sediment samples of shrimp farms. Heat treatment of sediment samples resulted in a selective reduction of the non actinobacterial heterotrophic microflora. Starch nitrate agar medium exhibited more efficacy t...
