FAPESP Research Program on Biodiversity Characterization, Conservation, Restoration and Sustainable Use (BIOTA), aimed not only at discovering, mapping and analyzing the origins, diversity and distribution of the flora and fauna of the State of São Paulo, but also at evaluating the possibilities of sustainable exploitation of plants or animals with economic potential and assisting in the formulation of conservation policies on forest remnants. The selection is through a peer-reviewing system..

- Systematics, taxonomy and curation of Asiloidea (Insecta: Diptera): discovering and safeguarding the material evidence of the biodiversity, with emphasis on the families Asilidae, Bombyliidae and Mythicomyiidae, AP.BTA.R
Abstract
This project aims to contribute to the knowledge of Diptera biodiversity, whether under taxonomic aspects (taxonomic revisions, description of new genera and species, redescription of species, elaboration of identification keys and maps of geographic distribution), systematics (based on cladistics analyzes, to test the monophyly of taxa and propose hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships…
- Biology of secretory cell in rosales species, AP.BTA.R
Abstract
Secretory structures are responsible for the production, isolation and / or release of secondary metabolites in plants. They can occur as individualized cells or multicellular structures of different types and functions, recorded in almost all parts of the plant body. They exhibit great morphological and chemical diversity, and important roles in the interaction of the plant with the elem…
- Biology, ecology and systematics of Sea-anemones lato sensu (Anthozoa, Actiniaria and Ceriantharia) in Atlantic Ocean, AP.BTA.R
Abstract
Sea anemones are widely considered to be very relevant animals as biological models in different environments, especially because they are benthic and solitary organisms, characteristics that facilitate laboratory experimentation. Despite being found in all marine environments, knowledge about ecobiological processes of most species is focused on model organisms from areas of the Northern…

- Discovery of Plasmodium falciparum inhibitors from Cerrado plants as lead compounds candidates for malaria: integrated studies of ultra-efficient chromatography, spectroscopy, and biological assays, AP.BTA.R
Abstract
Malaria is a lethal parasitosis, worldwide prevalent, and despite investments in the search for new drugs, a high mortality rate is still observed. In the search for new candidates for antimalarial drug discovery, glycolytic pathway modulation has been explored as target to inhibit parasite development and fight infection. Enolase (Pfeno) is an attractive target of the parasite glycolytic…
- Development and validation of a low-cost, bio- and nano-based innovative technology for drinking water disinfection, AP.BTA.R
Abstract
Public water supply, when not properly treated, may become the source of several pathogenic microorganisms, a major societal problem in developing countries. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, some nanoparticles (NP) are used as new antimicrobial agents. Amongst the most promising NP with antimicrobial properties, silver (Ag), gold (Au) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) have …
- BIOS - biotechnological products: nutritional supplement applied to improve animal performance, AP.BIOTA.PIPE
Abstract
In the last six years, Brazilian aquaculture production grew by 31%, from 578,800 t (2014) to 758,006 t (2019). Tilapia production alone accounted for 57% (432,149 t) of all Brazilian fish farming in 2019. Placing the country in 4th position among the largest tilapia producers. Thus, this growing aquaculture sector has challenged the development of sustainable strategies to improve the us…
