Abstract Background There is an imperative necessity for alternative sources of energy able to reduce the world dependence fossil oil. One most successful options ethanol obtained mainly from sugarcane and corn fermentation. The foremost residue industry bagasse, a rich lignocellulosic raw material uses production second generation (2G). New cellulolytic hemicellulytic enzymes are needed, in order optimize degradation bagasse 2G. Results ability produce hemicellulases related enzymes,...
Abstract Fungal enzymes have potential applicability in plant biomass deconstruction, such as sugarcane bagasse hydrolysis for biorefinery application. Due to complexity it is necessary use a set of addition cellulolytic extracts hydrolyze the hemicellulose and cellulose efficiently, β-glucosidase pectinases. In this way, work aimed study influence inoculum pectinase production Annulohypoxylon stygium DR47 evaluated culture media components enzymatic production. Initially, mycelia...
Shrimp antilipopolysaccharide factors (ALFs) form a multifunctional and diverse family of antimicrobial host defense peptides (AMPs) composed seven members (groups A to G), which differ in terms their primary structure biochemical properties. They are amphipathic with two conserved cysteine residues stabilizing central β-hairpin that is understood be the core region for biological activities. In this study, we synthetized three linear (cysteine-free) based on amino acid sequence newly...
Fungal xylanases have been widely studied and various production methods proposed using submerged solid-state fermentation. This class of enzyme is used to supplement cellulolytic cocktails in order enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis plant cell walls. The present work investigates xylanase other accessory enzymes by a recently isolated endophytic Aspergillus niger DR02 strain, pentose-rich liquor from hydrothermal pretreatment sugarcane bagasse as carbon source. Batch fed-batch cultivation...
Tailor made enzymatic preparation must be design to hydrolyze efficiently plant biomass, once that each biomass possesses a distinct cell wall composition. Most of actinomycetes used for degradation are focused on the cellulases and xylanases production. However, wide range enzymes produced an efficient lignocellulose materials. During last decade several unusual environments were studied obtain strains produce glycohydrolases with innovator characteristics. In this context, present work...
Abstract BACKGROUND This work aimed to study different methodologies for extracting enzymes produced by the endophytic fungi isolated from mangrove Neofusicoccum parvum , Penicillium glabra series and Bjerkandera sp. grown on organic rice. The enzymatic activities of amylase, cellulase, laccase, lipase, peroxidase, protease keratinase were evaluated future applications in biotechnology enzymology. evaluation extraction was carried out using design experiments methodology, where variations...
We aimed to isolate and identify yeasts found in the tomato fruit order obtain isolates with biotechnological potential, such as control of fungal diseases that damage postharvest fruits. identified Candida orthopsilosis strains LT18 LT24. This is first report this yeast on Lycopersicum esculentum fruits Brazil.
Paecilomyces lilacinus has potential for pests control. We aimed to analyze mycelial growth and spore production in P. strains several agro-industrial residues commercial media. This study suggests alternative nutrient sources fungi that the biotechnological of refuses could be employed byproducts development.
The aim of this study was evaluate, two methods for the detection and identification sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB): ML medium PCR with specific primers SRB groups. were detected through selective only on carbon steel, which showed corrosion. Employing primer, SBR from all metallic components assayed, even those that did not present visible corrosion spots, such stainless steel copper alloys. Despite presence or absence at later stages effectively by using medium,, initial could be...
Efficient polysaccharide degradation depends on interaction between enzymes acting the main chain and side chains. Previous studies demonstrated cooperation several enzymes, but not all enzyme combinations have been explored. A better understanding of would enable design mixtures, optimally profiting from synergistic effects. In this study, we analyzed involved in xylan, glucan, xyloglucan crude plant biomass Aspergillus nidulans by single combined incubations with their polymeric substrate....
