Production of glycolipid biosurfactants, mannosylerythritol lipids, from pentos...
Faria, Nuno Torres; Santos, Marisa V.; Fernandes, Pedro; Fonseca, Luís Lopes; Fonseca, César; Ferreira, Frederico CasteloThe pentose-assimilating capacity of yeasts from the genus Pseudozyma, P. antarctica PYCC 5048T, P.aphidis PYCC 5535Tand P. rugulosa PYCC 5537T, was exploited towards the production of mannosylery-thritol lipids (MEL), a glycolipid with biosurfactant properties. The three strains tested were able togrow on d-xylose and l-arabinose with similar maximum specific growth rates to those estimated on d-glucose (aroun...

Fonseca, Luís LopesDissertation presented to obtain a Ph. D. degree in Biochemistry by Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica.; The human brain is the product of 600 million years of evolution and it is by far the most complex structure in the known universe. The vertebrates’ brain is composed of several different cell types, which perform the different functions required. The two most abundant c...
