Cyanobacteria are a well-known source of bioproducts which renders culturable strains valuable resource for biotechnology purposes. We describe here the establishment cyanobacterial culture collection (CC) and present first version strain catalog its online database (http://lege.ciimar.up.pt/). The LEGE CC holds 386 strains, mainly collected in coastal (48%), estuarine (11%), fresh (34%) water bodies, most part from Portugal (84%). By following recent taxonomic classification, were...

Preparation of nanoformulations using natural products as bioactive substances is considered very promising for innovative larvicidal agents. On this context, oil in water nanoemulsions develop a main role, since they satisfactorily disperse poor-water soluble substances, such herbal oils, aqueous media. Pterodon emarginatus, popularly known sucupira, has oleoresin. However, to our knowledge, no previous studies were carried out evaluate its potential against Culex quinquefasciatus, the...

Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) is the main vector of some neglected diseases, including dengue. It very important to develop formulations that increase effectiveness control with low toxicity. Quercetin a plant-derived flavonoid modulates development insects. The water solubility quercetin impairs water-dispersible commercial products. To circumvent this problem, preparation nanoformulations considered promising. Thus, study aimed evaluate effect bulk and nanosuspension against A. larvae...

The Amazon region contains a great diversity of species, and the River basin accounts for almost 20% all freshwater in world. Despite favorable environmental conditions this region, little is known about cyanobacterial waterbody, especially at mouth river. In paper, we used polyphasic approach to identify 14 strains isolated on inlet site from drinking water supply located close river mouth. were characterized based morphology, behavior culture, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, phylogenetic...
