Ethylene glycol (EG) is a versatile molecule produced in the petrochemical industry and is widely used to manufacture plastic polymers, anti-freeze, and automotive fluids. Biotechnological production of EG from xylose, a pentose present in lignocellulose biomass hydrolysates, has been achieved by...
O estágio de maturação, teor de óleo e de ácidos graxos livres dos frutos frescos nos cachos da palma de óleo afetam a qualidade do óleo obtido. Este estudo avaliou a aplicabilidade da espectroscopia no infravermelho próximo (NIR) portátil (de menor resolução) na predição de&#...
Seventeen genotypes, representing three species of grain amaranth, were analyzed for physico-chemical components. These genotypes are considered outstanding in terms of agronomical performance, necessitating an understanding of protein, lipids, fiber, and carbohydrate content. It has been demonstrated that ...
The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can be developed using safe and environmentally friendly routes, can replace potentially toxic chemical methods, and can increase the scale of production. This study aimed to synthesize AgNPs from aqueous extracts of guarana (Paullinia cupa...
Despite recent progress, bacterial degradation of lignin is not completely understood. To address the mechanisms that bacteria from unknown taxonomic groups use to perform lignin-monomer degradation, functional analysis of bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes from soil-derived consortia enriched for microorga...
A macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) é uma palmeira oleaginosa de ocorrência natural na América Tropical e fonte de biomassa com potencial na bioeconomia, sobretudo, na produção de óleo vegetal a partir da polpa de seus frutos. Nesse sentido, torna-se imprescindível o conhecimento sobre a...
Gossypol is a terpene-polyphenolic compound specific to cotton plants. Considered as an anti-nutritional factor, monogastric livestock show greater sensitivity to this metabolite than ruminants. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the toxicological effects of gossypol-containing and biodetoxified...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os impactos econômico e ambiental ex ante de um biofertilizante formulado a partir de extrato concentrado de biomassa de cianobactéria, com composição e concentração de fitohormônios conhecidas, acrescido de macro e micronutrientes. Foram levantados dados...
Cotton is an important plant-based protein. Cottonseed cake, a byproduct of the biodiesel industry, offers potential in animal supplementation, although the presence of the antinutritional sesquiterpenoid gossypol limits utilization. The macrofungus Panus lecomtei offers potential in detoxification of anti...
Frente ao elevado contingente de propriedades agropecuárias de pequeno e médio porte com rebanhos bovinos no Brasil, buscou-se avaliar o potencial deste segmento para gerar renda e contribuir com a redução de emissões de GEE, por meio da produção de biogás e biofertilizante voltado...
