The genus Myrciaria occurs in various Brazilian biomes. Its species contains several active components, including phenolic compounds, such as tannins, flavonoids, ellagic acid and anthocyanins. Biological activities reported for Myrciaria fruits and leaf and bark extracts include antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal effects. This work aims to provide an overview of the active compounds of ...

In recent years, a considerable number of structurally unique metabolites with biological and pharmacological activities have been isolated from the marine-derived fungi, such as polyketides, alkaloids, peptides, lactones, terpenoids and steroids. Some of these compounds have anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibiotic and cytotoxic properties. T...

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum UCMB5033 is of special interest for its ability to promote host plant growth through production of stimulating compounds and suppression of soil borne pathogens by synthesizing antibacterial and antifungal metabolites or priming plant defense as induced systemic resistance. The genome of B. amyloliquefaciens UCMB5033 comprises a 4,071,167 bp long circ...
