    • Antifungal activity and In silico studies on 2-acylated benzo- and naphthohydroquinones 
      Ríos, David; Valderrama, Jaime A.; Quiroga, Gonzalo; Michea, Jonathan; Salas, Felipe; Álvarez Duarte, Eduardo Andrés; Venegas Casanova, Edmundo A.; Jara Aguilar, Rafael; Navarro Retamal, Carlos; Buc Caldero, Pedro; Benites, Julio (MDPI, 2022)
      The high rates of morbidity and mortality due to fungal infections are associated with a limited antifungal arsenal and the high toxicity of drugs. Therefore, the identification of novel drug targets is challenging due to ...
    • Cold-active pectinolytic activity produced by filamentous fungi associated with Antarctic marine sponges 
      Poveda, Gabriela; Gil Durán, Carlos; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada; Levicán, Gloria; Chávez, Renato (2018)
      BACKGROUND: Pectinase enzymes catalyze the breakdown of pectin, a key component of the plant cell wall. At industrial level, pectinases are used in diverse applications, especially in food-processing industry. Currently, ...
    • Filamentous fungi from extreme environments as a promising source of novel bioactive secondary metabolites 
      Chávez, Renato; Fierro, Francisco; García Rico, Ramón O.; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada (Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)
      Natural product search is undergoing resurgence upon the discovery of a huge previously unknown potential for secondary metabolite (SM) production hidden in microbial genomes. This is also the case for filamentous fungi, ...
    • Tolerance of native Magellan fungi in peat to anthracene and n-dodecane for potential use in bioremediation 
      Rodríguez Córdova, Leonardo; Sáez Navarrete, César; Ishanoglu, Vartan; Herrera Zeppelin, Albert; Ginocchio, Rosanna (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía Ingeniería Forestal, 2016)
      The tolerances of filamentous Magellan fungi in peat were analyzed in the presence of structurally different petroleum hydrocarbons to assess their abilities for bioremediation in contaminated soils. Fungi on PDA (potato ...
