Species from genus Aspidosperma (Apocynaceae) are popularly employed to treat various diseases. This genus is characterized by the occurrence of indole alkaloids. Taking into account the various biological activities attributed to these alkaloids, the description of the chemical diversity in genus Aspidosperma is important. A review of simple carbolinic alkaloids isolated from species of various genera was published in 1979. In 1987, it was published another one dealing with the relationships between the chemical structures of the indole alkaloids and the evolution of Aspidosperma species. This work updates the information about the indole alkaloids isolated from Aspidosperma species.

Proton binding properties of humic and fulvic acids were studied by potentiometric titration. Carboxylic groups were the predominant ionizable sites in comparison to phenolic and amine groups. Total acidity of fulvic acid was 12 x 10-3 mol g-1, a number significantly higher than that obtained for humic acid (5.2 x 10-3 mol g-1). Copper ion binding was evaluated at pH 4, 5 and 6 by potentiometric titration with an ion selective electrode for Cu(II). Differential stability constants and complexation capacities were systematically higher for humic acid, despite its lower number of ionizable sites in comparison with fulvic acid.

Plectranthus barbatus is largely used in the Northeast region of Brazil by the local population for treatment of digestive problems as substitute of boldo (Pneumus boldus). Phytochemical analysis of the leaf extracts of Plectranthus barbatus (Labiatae) cultivated in this region yielded two abietane diterpenoids, cyclobubatusin (1) and barbatusin (2) and a new one named 7beta-acetyl-12-deacetoxycyclobutatusin (3). The structures of the isolated compounds were established by spectral analysis, using mainly mass spectra and ¹H and 13CNMR (1D and 2D). These procedures permitted the assignment of all chemical shifts in the diterpenoids.

Salix martiana Leyb. is an endemic species from the Amazon river floodplain areas (varzeas), of the State of Amazonas. Stems and leaves were extracted with dichloromethane, methanol and hydro-alcohol and these extracts were fractionated by using conventional chromatographic techniques. The major substances isolated, salicin and trichocarposide (6-0-p-coumaroyl salicin), were determined through analyses of NMR 1D (¹H and 13C) and NMR 2D (gHSQC and gHMBC). These compounds were isolated for the first time in Salix martiana Leyb. (Salicaceae). The percentage of these compounds in S. martiana is very high. The extracts were analyzed for their DPPH antioxidant capacity and the methanolic from the leaves and the hydro-alcoholic from the stems were the more active.

The aim of this work was to produce biosurfactants through submerged fermentation using microorganisms isolated from soil contaminated with diesel. Microorganisms were isolated, characterized by the production of biosurfactants, and used to study the influence of type, induction and concentration of ammonium sulfate as a nitrogen source in the culture medium. The microorganisms that showed best results, in terms of production of biosurfactants, were identified as being of the genus Pseudomonas and Bacillus. The biosurfactants produced proved capable of reducing the surface tension of the media to 39 mN/m and 34 mN/m, respectively. Higher biosurfactant production was obtained in the medium containing 1% soybean oil without ammonium sulfate.

Efetuou-se a clonagem e seqüenciamento do gene que codifica a proteína capsidial de dois isolados do vírus do mosaico da alface (Lettuce mosaic virus, LMV) provenientes do estado de São Paulo, previamente caracterizados como pertencentes aos patótipos II (AF198, incapaz de infetar cultivares com os genes de resistência mo1¹ ou mo1²) e IV (AF199, capaz de quebrar a resistência propiciada pelos genes mo1¹ e mo1²), com base na virulência em cultivares diferenciadoras. Análise comparativa das seqüências de nucleotídeos de isolados provenientes da Europa, América do Norte, Oriente Médio e os dois isolados brasileiros não permitiu sua separação em estirpes, pois as porcentagens de homologia foram sempre superiores a 95%. Entretanto, análise filogenética dos isolados sugere uma origem comum entre o isolado AF-198 e os isolados LMV-R e LMV-0 (patótipo II, provenientes dos Estados Unidos e da França, respectivamente). O isolado AF199 apresentou uma alta homologia de seqüência com os isolados LMV-Aud e LMV-13, ambos provenientes da França. Esses isolados também são relacionados a isolados provenientes do Chile, embora uma origem comum não seja proposta. Eventos independentes de mutação podem estar ocorrendo em diferentes partes do mundo, propiciando o surgimento de novas estirpes de LMV capazes de quebrar a resistência conferida pelos genes mo1¹ e mo1².

Visando avaliar as interações de suscetibilidade do cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum) e de outros hospedeiros ao fungo Crinipellis perniciosa, plântulas de cupuaçu , cacau (Theobroma cacao), cacau-do-peru (Theobroma bicolor) e jurubeba (Solanum paniculatum), com idade entre seis a oito semanas, foram inoculadas com basidiósporos provenientes de vassouras secas e/ou frutos infetados destes hospedeiros coletados no sul da Bahia. As inoculações foram feitas depositando-se uma gota de 20 µl da suspensão de 5,0 x 10(5) basidiósporos/ml de C. perniciosa, obtidos de cada um dos hospedeiros, na gema apical e no hipocótilo (cupuaçu) de cada muda. Após a inoculação as plântulas permaneceram por 24 h em câmara climatizada, com temperatura em torno de 25 ºC e aproximadamente 100% de umidade. Realizou-se a avaliação final dos sintomas 60 dias após a inoculação. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com 20 tratamentos e quatro repetições de dez plantas. O cacau e o cacau-do-peru foram suscetíveis ao inóculo obtido dos quatro hospedeiros. A jurubeba apresentou reações de suscetibilidade somente aos inóculos dela própria e de cacau. O cupuaçu apresentou sintomas quando inoculado com basidiósporos obtidos dele próprio, de cacau e de cacau-do-peru. O inóculo proveniente de cacau foi o mais infetivo a todos os hospedeiros.

Isolados de Alternaria spp. patogênicos ao fedegoso (Senna obtusifolia) foram estudados quanto aos aspectos morfológicos e padrões isoenzimáticos, em gel de poliacrilamida. Com base nas características culturais, morfologia de colônias e morfometria de conídios, verificou-se que 11 dos 13 isolados pertenciam à espécie A. cassiae e os outros dois à A. alternata. Os resultados da análise eletroforética corroboraram as informações obtidas por meio de critérios morfológicos. Portanto, esta técnica tem potencial para ser usada na separação destas espécies de Alternaria. A ocorrência de mais de uma espécie deste gênero fúngico em S. obtusifolia foi constatada, ampliando o número de patógenos a serem avaliados no programa de desenvolvimento de um bioherbicida para esta espécie de planta daninha.

Colletotrichum graminicola, agente causal da antracnose ou podridão do colmo do milho (Zea mays), é um importante patógeno com alta variabilidade genética. Nove isolados desta espécie foram comparados através do uso da análise eletroforética em gel de poliacrilamida, utilizando três sistemas: proteínas totais, esterase e fosfatase ácida. A análise mostrou variação no número e posição das bandas no gel, dentro de cada sistema estudado. Com relação a proteínas totais, foi observado maior polimorfismo, embora os isolados Cgr8 e Cgr9 tenham mostrado idêntico perfil com seis bandas protéicas de mesma mobilidade relativa. Na atividade esterásica, esses mesmos isolados apresentaram um comportamento monomórfico, enquanto os demais revelaram polimorfismo. Na análise fosfatase ácida, todos os isolados mostraram-se semelhantes quanto à presença de duas bandas, porém diferentes em relação a mobilidade das moléculas no gel. Igualdade de comportamento, quanto à mobilidade relativa das bandas de fosfatase ácida, foi observada entre Cgr1 e Cgr2, como também entre Cgr6 , Cgr7 e Cgr8. Em geral, nos três sistemas testados, os isolados de C. graminicola apresentaram bandas em comum, indicando a relação existente entre eles, e que a variação fenotípica observada seja provavelmente decorrente da condição nuclear, homozigótica ou heterozigótica, de cada isolado do fitopatógeno.
