          Abstract

          Exemplos de interações entre microrganismos endofíticos e suas plantas hospedeiras são usados para demonstrar a importância da Botânica no desenvolvimento da biotecnologia e para a preservação da biodiversidade. Como conclusão, uma visão holística da ciência atual torna irrelavante qualquer distinção entre aspectos básicos e aplicados da ciência, principalmente quando se consideram as ciências biológicas, como é o caso da Botânica.

          Translated abstract

          Examples of interactions between endophytic microorganisms and their host-plants are used to show the importance of Botany for biotechnology development and biodiversity preservation. Conclusion: the current hollistic view on sciences makes distinctions between basic and applied aspects of science irrelevant, mainly when biological sciences are taken into account, as is the case of Botany.

          Taxol and taxane production by Taxomyces andreanae, an endophytic fungus of Pacific yew.

          Taxomyces andreanae, a fungal endophyte, was isolated from the phloem (inner bark) of the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia. The fungus is hyphomyceteous and, when grown in a semi-synthetic liquid medium, produced taxol and related compounds. Taxol was identified by mass spectrometry, chromatography, and reactivity with monoclonal antibodies specific for taxol. Both [1-14C]acetic acid and L-[U-14C]phenylalanine served as precursors of [14C]taxol in fungal cultures. No taxol was detected in zero-time cultures or in the small agar plugs used to inoculate the culture flasks.
