Some marine animals have a dynamic mutualistic association involving heterotrophic coral animals (hosts) and autotrophic dinoflagellate endosymbionts in the genus Symbiodinium, known as zooxanthellae, which are directly involved in their physiology. Currently, there is limited knowledge of the Symbiodinium diversity associated with zoanthids from the Brazilian coast. Hence, this study assessed the diversity of ...

Bioremediation consists of using living organisms to mitigate the effect of environmental pollutants. This work evaluated the capacity of a bacterial consortium immobilized in chitosan beads to degrade n-hexadecane. The consortium was tested in sterilized and unsterilized sediments, both in free form and immobilized in chitosan beads. The microcosms were contaminated with 10 mg of n-hexadecane/g of sediments an...
