The present work assesses the temporal variation of molds and yeasts, which are collaborators in the leaf decomposition process, in first order stream of Cerrado vegetation in Tocantins State. Plant litter was collected from vertical input of riparian vegetation and inserted in litterbags. Subsequently, they were submerged for 30 days in the Buritizal stream. The isolation and counting of filamentous fungi and yeasts was done from the maceration of leaf discs in peptone solution and streaking in petri disks containing BDA and YMA media for 30 days. The yeasts counting vary from 1,42 logUFC.gMOF in June, 2011 to 5,90 logUFC.gMOF in April, 2012. The filamentous fungi vary from 1,98 logUFC.gMOF in June, 2011 to 6,27 logUFC.gMOF in March, 2013. The highest quantities of fungi and yeasts were observed in rainy periods and they can be due to floods when the drain of the litter or the soil margin happened. As a result, there is a major entrance of terrestrial and saprobic fungi associated in the horizontal input.","PeriodicalId":119762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioenergy and Food Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131614403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assumptions of interactions between endophytic fungi and host plants suggest that therapeutic properties may be in the fungi and not on the plant or, probably, in the interaction amid them. Due to this, the interest in endophytic fungi from medicinal plants has increased. The gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae and gram-negative Klebsiella pneumoniae are important pathogenic bacteria, acting as infectious agents and causing respiratory diseases and hospital infections. This study aimed to obtain volatile compounds from endophytic fungi, which were isolated from medicinal plant Costus spiralis (jacq) Roscoe (Costaceae) and perform an antibacterial evaluation of them against S. pneumoniae and K. pneumoniae. The test to verify volatile substances was realized using Petri dishes without agar in the central portion, in order to prevent the diffusion effect. The endophytic fungus and the pathogen were inoculated on opposite sides of the plate that were sealed with parafilm. Negative controls were performed with each pathogen inoculation in culture media without antagonist, however, there was no growth inhibition of pathogens for those which were incubated in the presence of endophytic test, when comparing to control test.

The total water transparency and low turbidity values demonstrate the importance of the precipitation of these parameters, as well as the structure of the forest Ipuca supports the values found. The water temperature of Ipucas was influenced by the seasons. The dissolved oxygen was directly related to chlorophyll-?.
