The objective of this study was to use glycerol generated from the synthesis biodiesel oleaginous potential wild yeasts. An initial selection performed via a rapid and qualitative technique by staining with Sudan Black B. Initially 129 yeasts were present, which 5 selected cultivated in liquid medium containing pure or raw glycerol. yeast LEB-M3, isolated Pantanal, presented lipid content 20.46% 56.58% for cultivation glycerol, respectively. This strain genotypically identified as Candida...
Electrohydrodynamic processing (EHDP) allows the use of a wide range biopolymers and solvents, including food-grade green for development micro- nanostructures. These structures present high surface-area-to-volume ratio different shapes morphologies. The aim this work was to design produce hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based nanostructures through EHD using while exploring influence process solution parameters, incorporating bioactive extracted from food by-product. Low (LMW) (HMW)...
Increasing evidence highlights the contribution of chitinases and fungal infection to development asthma.The purpose this study was characterize chitinase expression serological markers in children with severe asthma.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collected from undergoing clinically indicated flexible bronchoscopy. A diagnosis asthma confirmed by pulmonary function testing. BALF tested for activity YKL-40 (an enzymatically inactive chitinase) concentrations. Specimens were cultured...
The microbiological, chemical and sensory characteristics of licensed unlicensed commercial Serrano cheese, a traditional product from the highlands South Brazil, were studied. average bacteria counts (log CFU/g) 8.8, 3.4, 5.1, for mesophilic bacteria, fecal coliforms, staphylococci, yeasts moulds, lactic acid (LAB), respectively. Differences in microbiological quality detected between cheeses. However, presence potential gastroentheric both kind cheeses is disturbing point out necessity...
Recombinant protein overproduction often results in oxidative stress, causing deviations from the optimal redox cofactor regeneration balance. This becomes one of limiting factors obtaining high levels heterologous production. Overexpression redox-affecting enzymes has been explored other organisms, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae , a means to fine tune balance order obtain higher titers. In present work, this strategy is P. pastoris . particular, NADH kinase enzyme S. (Pos5) used, either...
Urinary tract infection by Proteus mirabilis depends on several virulence properties that are coordinately regulated with swarming differentiation. Here we report the antibacterial and anti-swarming effect of seventeen terpenoids, subinhibitory concentrations five selected terpenoids swarming, biofilm formation haemolysin activity. The results showed all terpenes evaluated, particularly oxygenated inhibited P. MIC values ranging between 3 10 mg/L. Moreover, citral, citronellol geraniol...
