Item Total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity in Muscodor spp. inoculated seedlings of coffee cultivars of Brazil(Editora UFLA, 2025-06-04) Mourão, Bárbara; Bertolucci, Suzan Kelly Vilela; Guimarães, Sarah da Silva Costa; Coelho, Adriane Duarte; Rocha, João Pedro Miranda; Carvalho, Júlia Helena Gomes de; Pedroso, Márcio Pozzobon; Cardoso, Patrícia GomesFungi of the genus Muscodor have received considerable attention for producing volatile and non-volatile organic compounds with biological activity. The objective of this study was to determine the total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity in two coffee cultivars (Catuaí Vermelho and Topázio) inoculated with the endophytic fungi Muscodor coffeanum and Muscodor sp. and in fungal extracts, as well as to characterize the phenolic compounds and trigonelline produced by isolates of Muscodor. Seeds of Coffea arabica (Catuaí Vermelho and Topázio cultivars) were inoculated with twelve fungal isolates and grown in a greenhouse for 24 months. The results showed that the cultivars inoculated with M. coffeanum (CML 4019) had the highest production of total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. The presence of total phenolic content showed a direct correlation with antioxidant activity. Total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity varied among different Muscodor isolates. The phenolic profile of Muscodor extract determined by HPLCDAD showed the production of catechin, vanillin, and the caffeic, chlorogenic, ferulic, gallic, o-coumaric, p-coumaric, and syringic acids and the alkaloid trigonelline. These endophyte fungi associated with the coffee fruit can improve the quality of the beverage.Item Enzyme Production by Induratia spp. Isolated from Coffee Plants in Brazil(Instituto de Tecnologia do Paraná - Tecpar, 2020) Monteiro, Mônica Cristina Pereira; Tavares, Dérica Gonçalves; Nery, Eduardo Mateus; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de; Pereira, Olinto Liparini; Cardoso, Patrícia GomesEndophytic fungi belonging to the genus Muscodor now transferred to Induratia are known producers of bioactive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with many industrial applications. However, the members of this genus have rarely been reported to produce non-volatile metabolites including enzyme. Enzymes of the endophytes are degraders of the polysaccharides available in the host plants and the knowledge of enzyme production by Induratia spp. may provide insights into their possible biotechnological applications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of amylase, cellulase, lipase, pectinase, phytase, protease, endo β-1,4 glucanase and exo β-1,4 glucanase enzymes produced by fungi of the species Induratia coffeana, Induratia yucatanensis and Induratia sp. isolated from organic coffee plants. All Induratia spp. were able to produce the extracellular enzymes cellulase, pectinase, protease, and phytase. Eight fungi were able to produce lipase and four produced amylase. The specific activity of endo β-1, 4 glucanase and exo β-1,4 glucanase enzymes were detected for 9 and 8 endophytic fungi, respectively. This work demonstrated for the first time, the array of enzymes produced by Induratia spp. isolated from Coffea arabica in organic systems in Brazil.
