Abstract

This work evaluated the effect of aqueous extracts from Ilex paraguariensis (maté) and Coffea arabica (coffee) combined with Sabouraud dextrose agar on the growth of Fonsecaea pedrosoi ATCC 46428. F. pedrosoi was grown on Petri dishes containing Sabouraud dextrose agar amended with aqueous extract derived from 0.5; 1; 2; 3; 4 and 5g of maté or coffee powder boiled in 100ml of water for 30 min. The diameters of fungal colonies were determined after 7 days. The incorporation of maté or coffee extracts into the growth media did not cause significant differences in the radial growth of F. pedrosoi ATCC 46428 when compared to the control. Nevertheless, nutritional requirement studies are important to the systematization of the biochemical profile, which may contribute to elucidating the functional biochemistry of F. pedrosoi.
