Biosynthesis of active secondary metabolites by fungi occurs as a specific response to the
different growing environments. Changes in this environment alter the chemical and …

During the course of screening for biologically leading active natural products from fungi, a
strain of Aspergillus fumigatus was assessed for antimicrobial activity production. Four …

In a screening program for new antibiotic producers, a strain of Aspergillus fumigatus was
isolated from Brazilian soil samples. A pool of autoclaved bacteria was added to part of the …

Several reasons motivated the development of new generations of antibiotics, such as their
high ability to develop resistance to virtually all kinds of anti-infective agents and the …

Brazilian biodiversity is among the biggest ones in the world, providing one of the major
sources for bioprospection of new bioactive molecules. This study reports the isolation of …

Fungi can adapt their metabolism to different cultivation conditions, which may accompany
changes in secondary metabolites, but few cost-effective approaches were presented …

This chapter highlights main aspects about the discovery and exploration of secondary
metabolites in Aspergilli fungi. A short introduction about metabolites is followed by an …

The endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. SPH2 was isolated from the stems of the endemic
plant Bethencourtia palmensis and its extracts were found to have strong fungicidal effects …

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most deadly communicable infectious diseases,
causing 1.4 million deaths in 2015 worldwide due to many conditions, including the …

In this study, the fungus Aspergillus felis (strain UFMGCB 8030) was isolated from rocks in
the Atacama Desert, Chile. Its CH 2 Cl 2 extract exhibited antifungal activity (MIC of 1.9 …
