Candida albicans, a ubiquitous opportunistic fungal pathogen, plays pivotal role in human health and disease. As commensal organism, it normally resides harmlessly within the microbiota. However, under certain conditions, C. albicans can transition into pathogenic state, leading to various infections collectively known as candidiasis. With increasing prevalence of immunocompromised individuals widespread use invasive medical procedures, candidiasis has become significant public concern. The...
The hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum graminicola may cause severe damage to maize, affecting normal development of the plant and decreasing grain yield. In this context, understanding defense pathways at inoculation site systemically in uninoculated tissues can help genetic engineering resistance against pathogen. Previous work has discussed molecular basis maize - C. interaction. However, many genes involved have not yet been exploited for lack annotation public databases. Here, changes...
ABSTRACT Fungal Candida species are commensals present in the mammalian skin and mucous membranes. spp. capable of breaching epithelial barrier immunocompromised patients with neutrophil cell-mediated immune dysfunctions can also disseminate to multiple organs through bloodstream. Here we examined action innate defense regulator 1018 (IDR-1018), a 12-amino-acid-residue peptide derived from bovine bactenecin (Bac2A): IDR-1018 showed weak antifungal antibiofilm activity against albicans...
Candida albicans is a common human-pathogenic fungal species with the ability to cause several diseases including surface infections. Despite clear difficulties of control, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as an alternative strategy for control. In this report, different concentrations antifungal Cm-p1 (Cencritchis muricatus peptide 1) were electrospun into nanofibers drug delivery. The characterized by mass spectrometry confirming presence on scaffold. Atomic force microscopy and...
The aim of this research was to detect the principal reasons for condemnation poultry carcasses in two slaughterhouses (A and B); located southeastern region State Goiás, Brazil. data were collected by federal veterinary inspection services Brazilian Ministry Agriculture between January April 2007. causes observed both industries cellulite, contusion/ fractures bruises, as well contamination due gut severance at evisceration. three main values each different slaughter houses. In A, cellulite...

Background: Cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity given the limitations many current cancer drugs, there great need to discover develop novel treatments. An alternative conventional drug discovery path exploit new classes natural compounds such as cyclotides. This peptide family characterized by linked C- N-termini structural fold called cyclic cystine knot (CCK). The CCK responsible for exceptional enzymatic, chemical thermal stability Methods: In present study, an traditional...
Defensins are present in many organisms and divided into two evolutionary groups, termed cis- trans-defensins. Cis-defensins have only recently been reported bacteria, knowledge of these defensins is limited, with no family classification. Here, we describe the identification 74 cis-defensins from bacteria propose five classes for their We also report first NMR structure determination a Myxoccocus xanthus defensin, as well its silico expression analysis. Xanthusin-1 has unique among...
O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar a qualidade físico-química de méis comercializados no Centro Abastecimento do Distrito Federal – CEASA, feiras livres e nos supermercados da região. Os parâmetros analisados foram açúcares redutores, teor umidade, ºBrix, quantidade hidroximetilfurfural (HMF), acidez total, reação Fiehe, lugol, Lund atividade diastásica. De um total 14 amostras mesa, 14,28% apresentaram valores adequados para redutores (acima 65 g/100g), 85,72% abaixo limite esperado esse...
