A fungal isolate with capability to grow in keratinous substrate as only source of carbon and nitrogen was identified Aspergillus niger using the sequencing ITS region rDNA. This strain produced a slightly acid keratinase an protease during cultivation feather meal. The peak keratinolytic activity occurred 48 h maximum proteolytic 96 h. These enzymes were partly characterized serine aspartic protease, respectively. effects meal concentration initial pH on enzyme production evaluated central...

In the past decade, metagenomics studies exploring tick microbiota have revealed widespread interactions between bacteria and arthropods, including symbiotic interactions. Functional showed that obligate endosymbionts contribute to biology, affecting reproductive fitness molting. Understanding molecular basis of interaction ticks their mutualist may help develop control methods based on microbiome manipulation. Previously, we Rhipicephalus microplus larvae with reduced levels Coxiella...

ABSTRACT: Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is a hard tick endemic in livestock-growing regions and causes economic losses the largest beef-producing countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Australia Uruguay. The use of chemical acaricides still main strategy to control R. microplusinfestations. Nevertheless, immunological with an anti-tick vaccine suitable alternative has manifold advantages because it can avoid drug-resistance presence acaricide residues milk, beef environment....
