    Abstract Pigments of fungal origin have aroused increasing interest in the food dye and cosmetic industries since the global demand for natural dyes has grown. Endophytic microorganisms are a source of bioactive compounds, and Amazonian plant species can harbor fungi with a wide range of biotechnological applications. Popularly known in Brazil as crajiru,

    Abstract There are several scorpion species of medical relevance around the world. Some of them are well characterized by their toxins and clinical outcomes. Brazilian Amazon has a great amount of these arthropods that have an impact in the scorpionism events specifically in this region of Brazil. Recently, several studies pointed out the immune system activation during scorpion envenouming as an important facet of scorpionism, inducing a sepsis-like state that culminates in clinical severity and death. In this work, we characterized the macrophage response of three species of clinical relevance in Brazilian Amazon: Tityus silvestris, T. metuendus and T. obscurus and one specie with no toxic effects to humans, Brotheas amazonicus. All the four species analyzed were able to induce pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine production in a J774.1 murine macrophage model. This activation was dependent on TLR2/TLR4/MyD88 activation and abolished by TLRs antagonists. These results suggest that the venoms of the four species analyzed were able to induce macrophage response in agreement to the well-established immune activation by T. serrulatus venom. Our findings provide new insights into the clinical repercussions of scorpionism of uncharacterized species and point to new biotechnological applications of these venoms and possible supportive therapies in scorpionism.

    Abstract A circular cryptic plasmid named pPAGA (2,734 bp) was isolated from Pantoea agglomerans strain EGE6 (an endophytic bacterial isolate from eucalyptus). Sequence analysis revealed that the plasmid has a G+C content of 51% and contains four potential ORFs, 238(A), 250(B), 131(C), and 129(D) amino acids in length without homology to known proteins. The shuttle vector pLGM1 was constructed by combining the pPAGA plasmid with pGFPmut3.0 (which harbors a gene encoding green fluorescent protein, GFP), and the resulting construct was used to over-express GFP in E. coli and P. agglomerans cells. GFP production was used to monitor the colonization of strain EGE6gfp in various plant tissues by fluorescence microscopy. Analysis of EGE6gfp colonization showed that 14 days after inoculation, the strain occupied the inner tissue of Eucalyptus grandis roots, preferentially colonizing the xylem vessels of the host plants.
