Biosurfactants produced by yeasts: fermentation, screening, recovery, purificat...
Fernandes, Natalia de Andrade Teixeira; Simões, Luara Aparecida; Dias, Disney RibeiroThe demand for biosurfactants (BS) produced by yeast for use in industrial processes and products is increasing. Therefore, there has been an increase in the number of publications related to characterization of surfactant compounds produced by yeasts generally recognized as safe (GRAS), which has enabled their application in several industries, including the pharmaceutical and food industries. However, some of...
Current status and topical issues on the use of eDNA-based targeted detection o...
Duarte, Sofia Alexandra Ferreira; Simões, Luara Aparecida; Costa, Filipe O.Animal detection through DNA present in environmental samples (eDNA) is a valuable tool for detecting rare species, that are difficult to observe and monitor. eDNA-based tools are underpinned by molecular evolutionary principles, key to devising tools to efficiently single out a targeted species from an environmental sample. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the use of eDNA-based methods for the detect...

Duarte, Sofia Alexandra Ferreira; Simões, Luara Aparecida; Costa, Filipe O.Animal detection through DNA present in environmental samples (eDNA) is a valuable tool for detecting rare species, that are difficult to observe and monitor. eDNA-based tools are underpinned by molecular evolutionary principles, which are key to devising tools to efficiently single out a targeted species from an environmental sample, using carefully chosen marker regions and customized primers. Here, we presen...
Evaluation of biotechnological processing through solid-state fermentation of o...
Sousa, Daniel; Simões, Luara Aparecida; Oliveira, Rui Pedro Soares de; Salgado, José Manuel Seara; Cambra-López, Maria; Belo, IsabelOilseed cakes (OC) are natural sources of lignocellulosic biomass, produced every year in large amounts. In addition to their main applications as animal feed, plant or soil fertilizer, and compost, they present enormous potential for being used in biotechnological processes for the obtainment and extraction of valuable bioactive compounds. This work evaluated the effect of solid-state fermentation on the bioac...
Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Streptomyces sp. strain FR7 isolate...
Weslati, Imen; Simões, Luara Aparecida; Teixeira, Ana; Parpot, Pier; Raies, Aly; Oliveira, Rui Pedro Soares deActinomycetes produce secondary metabolites with many bioactivities such as antimicrobial, which can be useful as alternatives against resistant bacterial strains. Therefore, the screening of new habitats is likely to provide new strains with high potential. In this work, the antimicrobial capacity was used to select Streptomyces sp. strains isolated from Raf Raf forest (Tunisia). From the strain displaying hig...
