Fungos marinhos como fonte de compostos bioativos

Abstract

Os fungos de origem marinha são, ainda, um grupo de organismos pouco explorado. No entanto têm despertado um crescente interesse devido ao seu elevado potencial biotecnológico, destacando-se na produção de compostos com atividade antimicrobiana, que potencialmente poderão desempenhar um papel relevante na atual crise de resistência bacteriana. Este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar compostos com atividade antibacteriana de extratos de cinco isolados selecionados de fungos marinhos - Penicillium adametzioides CMG390, Penicillium alavariense CF16, Fluctus sp. 9.22, Paraconiothyrium salinum CF15 e Paralulworthia pinea EP5, por meio da otimização da produção de compostos bioativos, através da modificação das condições de cultivo, bem como a otimização da metodologia de extração. Os extratos fúngicos foram obtidos utilizando duas metodologias de extração diferentes, empregando solventes de polaridades distintas. A atividade antibacteriana foi avaliada por difusão em poços, contra diferentes estirpes bacterianas. Posteriormente, os compostos ativos foram purificados por cromatografia líquida de alta pressão (HPLC). Além disso, foi testada a termoestabilidade das frações e dos extratos bioativos. Observou-se que o pH do meio de cultura aumentou a produção de compostos com atividade antibacteriana. Em geral, as extrações aquosas apresentaram um rendimento superior ao das extrações orgânicas. Os extratos obtidos, demonstraram atividade antibacteriana contra Kocuria rhizophila ATCC 9341 e Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, sendo os extratos aquosos os que mostraram possuir atividades mais elevadas. Alguns dos compostos com atividade antibacteriana presentes nos extratos mostraram ainda serem termoestáveis. Este estudo permitiu aprofundar o conhecimento sobre as espécies de fungos marinhos em análise, evidenciando a sua capacidade de produzir compostos bioativos com potencial aplicação biotecnológica, nomeadamente no desenvolvimento de agentes antibacterianos.

Fungi of marine origin are still a relatively unexplored group of organisms. They have aroused growing interest due to their high biotechnological potential, especially in the production of compounds with antimicrobial activity, which could play a relevant role in the current bacterial resistance crisis. This study aimed to characterize compound with antibacterial activity of extracts from five selected isolates of marine fungi - Penicillium adametzioides CMG390, Penicillium alavariense CF16, Fluctus sp. 9.22, Paraconiothyrium salinum CF15, and Paralulworthia pinea EP5 - by optimizing the production of bioactive compounds, modifying the cultivation conditions, and optimizing the extraction methodology. The fungal extracts were obtained using two different extraction methodologies, using solvents of different polarities. The antibacterial activity was assessed using well diffusion tests against various bacterial strains. Subsequently, the active compounds were purified by high- pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The thermostability of the eluent fractions and extracts was also tested. It was observed that the pH of the culture medium increased the production of compounds with antibacterial activity. The extractions carried out with aqueous solvents showed a higher yield than the organic extractions. The extracts obtained, especially the aqueous extractions, showed antibacterial activity against Kocuria rhizophila ATCC 9341 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Some of the compounds with antibacterial activity present in the extraxts also proved to be thermostable. This study allowed for a deeper understanding of the marine fungal species under analysis, highlighting their ability to produce bioactive compounds with potential biotechnological applications, particularly the development of antibacterial agents.
