Abstract

The Cerrado is home to a huge variety of organisms, including the microbiota, which is still little known by science. Scoring scientific evidence that portrays the richness and abundance of microorganisms in this biome is important not only to stimulate more bioprospective research that demonstrates the biological potentialities present in the region, but also conservation and sustainable attitudes. This review aimed to highlight reports of new fungal species recently discovered in the Cerrado biome. An exploratory research was carried out with a survey of articles in English and Portuguese published between the years 2015 to 2019, in the Google Scholar, Scielo, Portal Capes and DOAJ databases, using the descriptors “fungi do cerrado”, “(bio) prospecção of fungi from the cerrado ”and“ new species of fungi in the cerrado ”. In the search, only articles that reported discoveries of new species for the scientific community or first report of a certain species in the Cerrado biome were considered, as well as the first evidenced association of a certain fungus with other organisms, and such reports may or may not indicate possible biotechnological applications of the organisms. found. Articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded from the search. Research was verified with reports of new discoveries, especially in the states of Goiás, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Some of the discoveries showed possible biotechnological properties of the isolates found, emphasizing the need for actions aimed not only at the conservation of the biome , as well as more bioprospective research.
