Several Pseudomonas species, including putida KT2440, have a broad metabolic repertoire to assimilate biomass monomers such as lignin-derived compounds but struggle tolerate hydrolysates. Here, we examined the furan derivatives tolerance in novel and nonpathogenic species (strain BJa5) P. KT2440 using adaptive laboratory evolution (TALE) enhance growth performance synthetic straw sugar cane hydrolysate enriched with furfural 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). Initially, wild-type strains...
Introduction Exploiting microbial natural products is a key pursuit of the bioactive compound discovery field. Recent advances in modern analytical techniques have increased volume genomes and their encoded biosynthetic measured by mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. However, connecting multi-omics data to uncover metabolic processes interest still challenging. This results large portion genes metabolites remaining unannotated. Further exacerbating annotation challenge, databases tools for...
Abstract Background Most of our understanding on the social behavior and genomics bees other insects is centered Western honey bee, Apis mellifera. The genus Apis, however, a highly derived branch comprising less than dozen species, four which genomically characterized. In contrast, for equally eusocial, yet taxonomically biologically more diverse Meliponini, full genome sequence was so far available single Melipona species only. We present here Frieseomelitta varia , stingless bee that has,...
Nanoparticles are resources of advanced nanotechnology being present in several products. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles among the five most widely used NP currently expanding their benefits from oil industry to areas diagnostic medicine due properties and small size. However, its impact on human health is still controversial literature. We aimed evaluate cytotoxicity a new titanium functionalized with sodium carboxylic ligand (COOH-Na+) keratinocytes (HaCaT) fibroblasts (HDFn).The...
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer sustainable solutions for various biotechnological applications and are a crucial area of research in biotechnology. MFCs can effectively treat wastewater biodiesel waste by decomposing organic matter generating electricity. Certain Pseudomonas species possess extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathways, enabling them to electrons from compounds the MFC's anode. Moreover, grow under low oxygen conditions, which is advantageous considering that...

The extensive use of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) in cosmetics, food, personal care products, and industries brought concerns about their possible harmful effects. Nowadays it has become important to assess TiO2 NPs toxic effects as a way understand primary risks. In the cellular environment, after cell uptake, were described induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, unbalance oxidative state, activate apoptosis several lines. Therefore, we aimed evaluate cytotoxicity...
The ability of some bacteria to perform Extracellular Electron Transfer (EET) has been explored in bioelectrochemical systems (BES) obtain energy or chemicals from pure substances residual substrates. Here, a new pyoverdine-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain was isolated MFC biofilm oxidizing glycerol, by-product biodiesel production. Strain EL14 investigated assess its electrogenic and products. In an open circuit system (fermentation system) able consume glycerol produce...

Termites are well recognized by their complex development trajectories, involving dynamic differentiation process between non-reproductive castes, workers and soldiers. These insects associated with endosymbiotic microorganisms, which help in lignocellulose digestion nitrogen metabolism. Aiming to identify genes harbouring biotechnological potential, we analyzed soldiers RNA-Seq data of three neotropical termites: Heterotermes tenuis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), Velocitermes heteropterus...
