Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, the etiologic agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, is a facultative intracellular human pathogen that can persist within macrophage phagolysosomes, indicating fungus has evolved defense mechanisms in order to survive under nutritionally poor environments. The analysis P. brasiliensis transcriptome revealed several virulence factor orthologs other microorganisms, including glyoxylate cycle genes. This allows utilization two-carbon (C2) compounds as carbon source...
The draft genome of Dietzia cinnamea strain P4 was determined using pyrosequencing. In total, 428 supercontigs were obtained and analyzed. We here describe interpret the main features genome. contained a total 3,555,295 bp, arranged in single replicon with an average G+C percentage 70.9%. It revealed presence complete pathways for basically all central metabolic routes. Also present sets genes glyoxalate reductive carboxylate cycles. Autotrophic growth suggested to occur by aerobic CO...
The oil industry is responsible for the contamination of vast areas soil and sea. Although crude spills in environment have a huge visual appeal, it daily contamination, by diary activities involving exploration, transportation refining that causes more damage to environment. Bioremediation technologies, especially use biosurfactant molecules, been shown be efficient than other traditional technologies. objective this research was analyze characteristics biosurfactants molecules produced...
Abstract Corrosion of metallic alloys is a concern worldwide, with impacts affecting different production sectors and consequent economic losses in the order billions dollars annually. Biocorrosion form corrosion where participation microorganisms can induce, accelerate, or inhibit corrosive processes. In this study, it was evaluated that changes profile communities, by sequencing 16S ribosomal gene, grown over steel coupons microcosm no additional oxygen supplementation for 120 days....
The petroleum-derived degrading Dietzia cinnamea strain P4 recently had its genome sequenced and annotated. This allowed employing the data on genes that are involved in degradation of n-alkanes. To examine physiological behavior presence n-alkanes, was grown under varying conditions pH temperature. D. able to grow at 7.0-9.0 temperatures ranging from 35 ºC 45 ºC. Experiments gene expression by real-time quantitative RT-PCR throughout complete growth cycle clearly indicated induction...
Abstract Shewanella species are frequently selected as model strains to investigate microbially influenced steel corrosion. This selection is due their relevance for corrosion, but also because of easy cultivation in aerobic media. Unfortunately, these advantages do not lead a straight-forward interpretation corrosion inducing or inhibiting mechanisms. The metabolic versatility Shewanellae indeed enables wide variety work reviews the capacities and extracellular electron transfer mechanisms...
Paenibacillus antarcticus IPAC21, an endospore-forming and bioemulsifier-producing strain, was isolated from King George Island, Antarctica. As psychrotolerant/psychrophilic bacteria can be considered promising sources for novel products such as bioactive compounds other industrially relevant substances/compounds, the IPAC21 genome sequenced using Illumina Hi-seq, a search genes related to production of bioemulsifiers metabolic pathways performed. The strain has 5,505,124 bp G + C content...
