RESUMO
In this study, IBCB 66, IBCB 868, and CBMAI 1306 isolates of Beauveria bassiana were grown in liquid culture for 4 days, leading to elevated submerged spores (SS) levels. The influence of the addition of different glycerol concentrations (0, 3, and 6%) (v/v) in the liquid culture was investigated regarding the stability (at 4 and 27 °C) of dried formulations. The virulence of SS was compared with aerial spores (AS) against Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae). The results demonstrate the potential of using SS to control T. urticae. CBMAI 1306 and IBCB 868 isolates caused T. urticae mortality rates of 91.11% and 88.89% 5 days after treatment, respectively, when applied at concentrations of 1 × 108 SS mL-1. The median Lethal Time (LT50) values for these strains were 2.64 and 2.61 days, respectively. The dried formulations showed potential acaricidal activity. Higher glycerol concentrations in the liquid culture medium reduced formulation stability at 27 °C.

In this work, we propose the reuse of apple pomace as a substrate for fungal chitosan production by liquid cultivation of Gongronella butleri CCT4274. Different concentrations of reducing sugars and sodium nitrate were added to the aqueous extract of apple pomace and the best result was obtained with 40 g/L of reducing sugars and 2.5 g/L of sodium nitrate. The results indicate the possibility of producing 1.19 g/L of chitosan per liter of culture medium after 72.5 hours of cultivation, representing around 21% of the biomass content.
Este trabalho propõe o reuso do bagaço de maçã como substrato para a produção de quitosana fúngica em cultivo liquido do fungo Gongronella butleri CCT4274. Diferentes concentrações de açúcares redutores e nitrato de sódio foram adicionadas ao extrato aquoso do bagaço de maçã. O melhor resultado foi obtido para concentrações de 40 g/L e 2,5 g/L de açúcares redutores e nitrato de sódio, respectivamente. Os resultados indicam a possibilidade de produzir 1,19 g/L de quitosana após 72,5 horas de cultivo, representando 21% da composição da biomassa.
