Cyclic lipopeptide signature as fingerprinting for the screening of halotoleran...
Farias, Bárbara Cibelle Soares; Hissa, Denise Cavalcante; Nascimento, Camila Tauane Monteiro do; Oliveira, Samuel A.; Zampieri, DavilaCyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) are non-ribosomal biosurfactants produced by Bacillus species that exhibit outstanding interfacial activity. The synthesis of CLPs is under genetic and environmental influence, and representatives from different families are generally co-produced, generating isoforms that differ in chemical structure and biological activities. This study to evaluate the effect of low and high NaCl con...
Using a bacterial consortium immobilized in chitosan beads as a tool for biorem...
Oliveira, Samuel Araujo de; Colares, Geórgia Barguil; Aquino, Lyanderson Freitas de; Farias, Bárbara Cibelle Soares; Hissa, Denise CavalcanteBioremediation 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...
