ABSTRACT The Amazon rainforest is the largest tropical in world, with high biodiversity of organisms. Despite increasing knowledge about fungal diversity last few years, many taxa, including gasteroid clades, are still poorly known. Gasteroid fungi recognized by maturation basidiospores inside basidiomata and passive release spores. We conducted a detailed survey published data on species that ...

The Agaricales are the largest clade of mushroom-forming fungi, in Colombia, with 544 species approximately 16,000 currently recognized worldwide phylum Basidiomycota. We document seven Agaricaceae for first time from Colombian Caribbean region. Two these newly recorded country: Leucoagaricus lilaceus Singer and roseilividus (Murrill) E. Ludw. Five reported time: Agaricus griseorimosus Pegler, ...

Os cogumelos silvestres são fascinantes pela formação de seus corpos frutificação e sua aplicação na indústria alimentícia medicinal, apresentando-se como uma grande fonte extração metabólitos secundários com propriedades farmacológicas. Esta revisão tem objetivo fornecer informações sobre a produção compostos atividade anticancerígena por do filo Basidiomycota, apresentando diferentes molécula...

Pinicoloform, a novel unbranched acyclic compound containing a trichloromethyl group, has been isolated from extracts of the mycelia of the Basidiomycete Resinicium pinicola. It was isolated because of its ability to induce morphological and physiological differentiation of mammalian cells, although it also exhibits antibiotic and cytotoxic activities. The structure of pinicoloform was determin...

Although isolates of filamentous basidiomycetes can usually be recognized in a clinical laboratory setting, identification is problematic, as they seldom exhibit diagnostic morphological features formed in nature. This paper is the first report of Inonotus (Phellinus) tropicalis inciting human disease and describes the methods used to support the identification.

Two classes of homeodomain proteins, Hox and Engrailed, have been shown to act in concert with the atypical homeodomain proteins Pbx and extradenticle. We now show that specific residues located within the Pbx homeodomain are essential for cooperative DNA binding with Hox and Engrailed gene products. Within the N-terminal region of the Pbx homeodomain, we have identified a residue that is requi...

The structures of six new drimance sesquiterpenoids, mniopetals A-F, were elucidated by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic methods. The mniopetals are inhibitors of RNA-directed DNA-polymerases.
