Abstract in Portuguese
Lipases ativas em temperaturas frias estão amplamente distribuídas em micro-organismos que sobrevivem em temperaturas baixas, neste contexto, o isolamento de fungos de ambiente antártico pode ser considerado estratégico para obtenção de lipases a baixas temperaturas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a produção de lipases e a diversidade de fungos filamentosos isolados de amostras do ambiente Antártico. Um total de 253 isolados foi recuperado a partir de 10 amostras marinhas e quatro terrestres, dos quais 68 apresentaram resultados positivo e foram submetidos aos experimentos de avaliação da produção de lipase e caracterização da biodiversidade. Os fungos lipolíticos foram identificados como pertencentes aos gêneros: Geomyces, Penicillium, Cosmospora, Thelebolus, Chaetomium, Hypocrea, Antarctomyces, Mortierella e Cadophora. Em adição, alguns isolados de um mesmo ribotipo foram afiliados à ordem Mucorales e, outro, revelou ser uma potencial nova espécie pertencente ao filo Basidiomycota. O fungo Geomyces pannorum. AL1-1B foi selecionado como o melhor produtor de lipase e apresentou atividade de 761,68 U/L no 5° dia de cultivo em pH 8,0 a 15 °C, evidenciando o potencial biotecnológico na produção de lipase a baixas temperaturas.

Abstract in English
Cold-active lipases are widely distributed in micro-organisms which survive in low temperatures, in this context; fungal isolation from Antarctic environment can be considered strategic for obtaining lipases at low temperatures. The present work aimed to assess the production of lipases and diversity of filamentous fungi isolated from samples of the Antarctic environment. A total of 253 isolates were retrieved from 10 marine and four terrestrial samples collected on the Antarctic continent, amongst then 68 presented positive results and were subjected to the experiments of lipase production evaluation and biodiversity characterization. Lipolytic fungi were identified as representatives of the genera: Geomyces, Penicillium, Cosmospora, Thelebolus, Chaetomium, Hypocrea, Antarctomyces, Mortierella and Cadophora. In addition, some isolates of the same ribotype were affiliated to the order Mucorales, and another one, showed to be a putative new species from phylum Basidiomycota. The fungus Geomyces pannorum AL1-1B was selected as the lipase best producer and showed activity of 761.68 U/L in the 5th day of cultivation at pH 8.0 at 15 °C, highlighting the biotechnological potential for lipase production at low temperatures.
