High-temperature ethanol production using thermotolerant yeast newly isolated from Greater Mekong Subregion

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (3), 2017
Abstract The application of high-potential thermotolerant yeasts is a key factor for successful ethanol production at high temperatures. Two hundred and thirty-four yeast isolates from Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) countries, i.e., Thailand, The Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) and Vietnam wer...

Bioethanol strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae characterised by microsatellite and stress resistance

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae may display characteristics that are typical of rough-type colonies, made up of cells clustered in pseudohyphal structures and comprised of daughter buds that do not separate from the mother cell post-mitosis. These strains are known to occur frequently in fer...

Anesthesia of Epinephelus marginatus with essential oil of Aloysia polystachya: an approach on blood parameters

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (1,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT This study investigated the anesthetic potential of the essential oil (EO) of Aloysia polystachya in juveniles of dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus). Fish were exposed to different concentrations of EO of A. polystachya to evaluate time of induction and recovery from anesthesia. In the secon...

A non-linear mixed-effects model to describe the effect of acarbose intake on postprandial glycaemia in a single rat

Acta sci., Health sci; 39 (1), 2017
A non-linear mixed-effects model is proposed to assess the impact of acarbose over time on postprandial glycaemia in a single rat. The model is based on two compartments, one representing the entry of glucose in the blood and the other its exit. The rat was submitted to two treatments: ingestion of starc...
