Descripción

Guarana (Paullinia cupana var. Sorbilis (Mart.) Ducke) is a native species of economic and social importance in Brazil serving the domestic and international demands. This culture is attacked by Colletotrichum guaranicola Albuq. and Fusarium decencellulare Brick, causal agents of anthracnose and overbudding, respectively. Actinomycetes are bacteria that may produce secondary metabolites with antibacterial and antifungal potential. The isolation of endophytic with antibiosis agaist pathogenic fungi is the first step in biological control and bioprospecting antimicrobial compounds programs.
