Mangroves are costal ecosystems where extreme environmental conditions are found, being considered valuable source for the discovery of novel microbial enzymes. Lipases constitute the most important group of biocatalysts being used in various biotechnological applications. In this context, the current work aimed to screening bacterial isolates and metagenomic clones from mangrove sediments for lipase/esterase p...
Moringa oleifera Lam. is a perennial multipurpose tree with a strong scientific evidence of its curative power and used in folk medicine to cure several inflammatory processes. This work aimed to isolate and characterize a chitin-binding protein from Moringa oleifera seeds, and evaluate its antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects. Chitin-binding proteins were obtained after application of albumin fraction...
