The demand for natural-based products industrial applications is increasing sharply and therefore the search new alternatives to plants traditionally used growing. These alternative can be an important source of bioactive compounds under a circular economy approach. Considering potential future use plant by industry, it necessary assess risk associated with their introduction into ecosystem. Th...

the interest in plants antimicrobial properties has been revived because of the current problems associated with the use of antibiotics. nowadays, the fact that microorganisms tend to develop drug resistance, besides the side effects of certain antibiotics has offered considerable potentials for the development of new effective antifungal and antioxidant agents; medicinal plants are prolific so...

Various anthraquinonoid colouring matters grouped into (a) monomeric anthraquinones, (b) bianthraquinones and (c) modified bianthraquinones were isolated from Pen icillium islandicum, P. rugulosum, and other fungi. The unusual cagelike structures of hepatotoxic luteoskyrin, (—)rubroskyrin, (+ )rugulosin and their analogues are elucidated. The absolute stereochemical structures of these fungal c...

T H E parasexual cycle first demonstrated in Aspergillus nidulans ( PONTECORVO, ROPER, HEMMONS, MACDONALD and BUFTON 1953) has provided a means for genetic investigations in other species of filamentous fungi, particularly those lacking a perfect stage. In the genus Penicillium, the parasexual cycle has been demonstrated in P. chrysogenum (PONTECORVO and SERMONTI 1954) , P. expansum ( BARRON 19...
