Prevalence, antifungal susceptibility and virulence determinants of oral yeast species isolated from immunodeficient patients in Northeastern Brazil
Rev. epidemiol. controle infecç; 10 (3), 2020
Justificativa e Objetivos: A candidíase oral tem uma ocorrência comum em pacientes imunocomprometidos. No entanto, outras infecções emergentes tornaram-se cada vez mais habituais. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a prevalência, os determinantes de virulência e a suscetibilidade a antifúngico...
Biosurfactant produced by Candida utilis UFPEDA1009 with potential application in cookie formulation
Electron. j. biotechnol; 46 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Biosurfactants are biomolecules that have the potential to be applied in food formulations due to their low toxicity and ability to improve sensory parameters. Considering the ability of yeasts to produce biosurfactants with food-friendly properties, the aim of the present study was to apply ...
Enhancement of ethanol production efficiency in repeated-batch fermentation from sweet sorghum stem juice: effect of initial sugar, nitrogen and aeration
Electron. j. biotechnol; 46 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Ethanol concentration (PE), ethanol productivity (QP) and sugar consumption (SC) are important values in industrial ethanol production. In this study, initial sugar and nitrogen (urea) concentrations in sweet sorghum stem juice (SSJ) were optimized for high PE (≥10%, v/v), QP, (≥2.5 g/L·...
Fatores de virulência e susceptibilidade a antifúngicos de Cryptococcus Spp
Arq. ciências saúde UNIPAR; 24 (1), 2020
Criptococose é uma doença grave que afeta tanto imunocomprometidos quanto imunocompetentes, com isso analisar a virulência é fundamental para novas terapêuticas. Objetivo: Analisar a capacidade de virulência e susceptibilidade aos antifúngicos de Cryptococcus spp. isolados de líquor de pacientes ...

Enhanced pyruvic acid yield in an osmotic stress-resistant mutant of Yarrowia lipolytica
Electron. j. biotechnol; 44 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Pyruvic acid (PA), a vital α-oxocarboxylic acid, plays an important role in energy and carbon metabolism. The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica (Y. lipolytica) has considerable potential for the production of PA. An increased NaCl concentration reportedly increases the biomass and PA yiel...
Antimicrobial activity of oregan and clove essential oils against some foodborne pathogens
Semina cienc. biol. saude; 41 (1), 2020
The tendency to replace synthetic antimicrobials for natural ones in food industry and an increase in
bacterial resistance to antibiotics resulted in a necessity to find new alternatives, and essential oils
are emerging as promising substitutes for synthetic chemicals in food preservation. The objective

Introducción: Los carotenoides son fuente importante de actividades biológicas funcionales, tales como antioxidantes o antimicrobianas, además de tener gran impacto a nivel industrial, ya sea en cosmética o suplementación animal en acuacultura. Se han reportado varias moléculas novedosas a partir d...
Evaluation of a Combined System Based on an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor (UASB) and Shallow Polishing Pond (SPP) for Textile Effluent Treatment
Braz. arch. biol. technol; 63 (), 2020
Abstract Color removal from textile effluents was evaluated using a laboratory-combined process based on an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor followed by a shallow polishing pond (SPP). The anaerobic reactor was fed with a real textile effluent, diluted 10-times in a 350 mg/L solution of pre...
Bioremediation of heavy metals in food industry: application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Electron. j. biotechnol; 37 (), 2019
Heavy metals are natural elements in the Earth’s crust that can enter human food through industrial or agricultural processing, in the form of fertilizers and pesticides. These elements are not biodegradable. Some heavy metals are known as pollutants and are toxic, and their bioaccumulation in plant an...
