Spores ofBacillus subtilisLAMI008 were entrapped in 3-mm chitosan beads and cross-linked with 0.3%glutaraldehyde forn-hexadecane biodegradation and biosurfactant recovery. When exposed to nutrients,the spores generated vegetative cells without morphological alterations as revealed by atomic forcemicroscopy. The entrapped cells degraded almost 100% of 1% ofn-hexadecane in medium supplementedwith 1% glucose and p...
Preliminar note on a study of the resta oil (from the trunk) and the seed oil from a species of Copaifera was done, using the analytical methods known as GC/MS and HPLC and the volumetric method. This work was developed at the Divisão de Química of the INPA in collaboration with the Departamento de Química of the UPCe with the purpose to identify the chemical components and to establish the kinetic control of a...
