Glutaminase-free L-asparaginase production by Leucosporidium muscorum isolated from Antarctic marine-sediment
(Preparative Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2020) [Artigo]L-asparaginase (ASNase) is an essential drug in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Commercial bacterial ASNases increase patient survival, but the consequent immunological reactions remain a challenge. ... -
Pseudo-Lignin Content Decreased with Hemicellulose and Lignin Removal, Improving Cellulose Accessibility, and Enzymatic Digestibility
(Bioenergy Research, 2020) [Artigo]The sugarcane bagasse is a heterogeneous material and needs a pretreatment to breakdown its complex structure to make cellulose accessible to enzyme action. This study aimed to evaluate pseudo-lignin formation, enzymatic ... -
Fungal community in antarctic soil along the retreating collins glacier (Fildes peninsula, King George Island)
(Microorganisms, 2020) [Artigo]Glacial retreat is one of the most conspicuous signs of warming in Antarctic regions. Glacier soils harbor an active microbial community of decomposers, and under the continuous retraction of glaciers, the soil starts to ... -
Sieving process selects sugarcane bagasse with lower recalcitrance to xylan solubilization
(Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 2020) [Artigo]BACKGROUND: Sugarcane bagasse is a heterogeneous and organized material that needs a pretreatment to access the polysaccharides (cellulose and xylan). The particle size of a non-milled bagasse can influence the xylan and ... -
Carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae from port areas in São Paulo State (Brazil): Isolation and molecular characterization
(Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020) [Artigo]Coastal areas with important economic activities have high levels of contamination by metals, pathogenic bacteria, among other contaminants. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a global problem of public ... -
Biodegradation of Soybean Biodiesel Generates Toxic Metabolites in Soil
(Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 2020) [Artigo]Biodiesel is a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from either vegetable oils or animal fats. Although biodiesel biodegrades faster than diesel fuel, the impacts of this biofuel in environment throughout its ... -
mCherry fusions enable the subcellular localization of periplasmic and cytoplasmic proteins in Xanthomonas sp.
(PLoS ONE, 2020) [Artigo]Fluorescent markers are a powerful tool and have been widely applied in biology for different purposes. The genome sequence of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (X. citri) revealed that approximately 30% of the genes encoded ... -
Endophytic fungi from Passiflora incarnata: an antioxidant compound source
(Archives of Microbiology, 2020) [Artigo]Endophytes are considered one of the most important microbial resources for obtaining biomolecules of therapeutic use. Passiflora incarnata, widely employed by the pharmaceutical industry, shows therapeutic effects on ... -
Fungus-growing insects host a distinctive microbiota apparently adapted to the fungiculture environment
(Scientific Reports, 2020) [Artigo]Some lineages of ants, termites, and beetles independently evolved a symbiotic association with lignocellulolytic fungi cultivated for food, in a lifestyle known as fungiculture. Fungus-growing insects’ symbiosis also hosts ... -
Production of Rhamnolipids from Soybean Soapstock: Characterization and Comparation with Synthetics Surfactants
(Waste and Biomass Valorization, 2020) [Artigo]Abstract: In this study, waste from the soybean industry was used as the main carbon source to produce rhamnolipids. This biosurfactant have a great value and can be used in several applications. The biosurfactant produced ... -
Heavy metal concentrations in Brazilian port areas and their relationships with microorganisms: can pollution in these areas change the microbial community?
(Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020) [Artigo]The objectives of this study were to analyze the difference in ways in which metals polluting Brazilian port areas influence bacterial communities and the selection of resistant strains. The hypothesis tested was that port ... -
Evaluation of a new method for (L+) lactic acid purification, using ethyl ether
(Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology, 2020) [Artigo]The aim of the present study was to obtain high levels of fermentative L (+) lactic acid and find a better form of purification. The process was optimized by testing different compositions of the culture media, evaluating ... -
Efficient Conversion of Agroindustrial Waste into D(-) Lactic Acid by Lactobacillus delbrueckii Using Fed-Batch Fermentation
(BioMed Research International, 2020) [Artigo]Purpose. The goal of this paper is to describe the green conversion of agricultural waste products, such as molasses and corn steep liquor, into large amounts of D(-) lactic acid using a facilitated multipulse fed-batch ... -
Lack of fungal cultivar fidelity and low virulence of Escovopsis trichodermoides
(Fungal Ecology, 2020) [Artigo]Fungus-growing ants (the attines) are a paramount example of symbiosis, practicing fungiculture for food. Fungi in the genus Escovopsis (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) threaten the ant fungal cultivars and show patterns of ... -
Minimum Lignin and Xylan Removal to Improve Cellulose Accessibility
(Bioenergy Research, 2020) [Artigo]The lignocellulosic biomass, such as provided by the sugarcane, is an abundant source of raw materials for energy production. Milling and pretreatments can be employed to alter the structure of the materials, remove lignin, ... -
