Endophytic fungi inhabit the interior of plants, and due to their enormous exploitation potential,are considered one of the most important resources to obtain new enzymes of biotechnologicalapplicability. The Brazilian cerrado is a highly rich biome, among the plant specimens, it is possibleto stand out the “Baru” (Dipteryx alata), an important tree for the biome and it does not yetpossess its characterized endophytic microbiota. The objective was to isolate endophytic fungifrom “Baru”, as well as to evaluate the biotechnological potential of these fungi in relation to theenzymatic production. A qualitative evaluation was performed through the enzymatic index (EI).The positive result for EI amylase ≥ 2.0 and for lipase only one isolate showed the formation of thetranslucent halo. Despite the need to deepen the studies in relation to characterization of theseisolates and the enzymes produced, the positive results of the enzymatic potential demonstratedthat the selected microorganisms are promising in obtaining the enzymes for industry application.
