Earned a bachelor's degree in Agronomy from the University of São Paulo (1983), a Master's degree in Agricultural Microbiology from the University of São Paulo (1987) and a PhD degree in Biological Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin (1993). From August 2013 to July 2014 had an appointment as Visiting Scientist at the Department of Environmental Sciences of the University of California - Riverside. Since 2010 is a Professor of Soil Microbiology at the ?Luiz de Queiroz? College of Agriculture of the University of São Paulo. Retired from the University of São Paulo in 2018. From 2003-2005 and 2012-2013 was Vice-Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Agricultural Microbiology from the University of São Paulo and from 2005-2012 was Coordinator of the same Graduate Program. Frm September 2018 to March 2019 was a Visiting Porfessor at the Center of Agricultural Sciences from the Federal University of Paraíba. Has experience in Agronomy, with emphasis on Soil Microbiology and Biochemistry (microbial ecology and arbuscular mycorrhiza). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

In previous studies, we have determined that the bacterial community structures in the phyllosphere of different tree species depend on the plant taxon. We have also determined that despite the different taxonomic composition, most of the detected functional protein groups were common to all phyllospheres examined, suggesting that bacterial communities in different phyllospheres share a s…
The purpose of the present application is to support the visit of Prof. Shimshon Belkin, a renowned microbial ecologist from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, to the Prof. Marcio Lambais' lab at the Department of Soil Science, ESALQ, University of São Paulo. Over the last decade the two groups have shared a common scientific interest in studying the microbial populations inhabiting the …
Spodosols are the most frequent soils in the coastal plain of the São Paulo State. These soils are formed by a podzolization process, which is characterized by the transport of organic matter (OM), associated or not with iron and aluminum, from the surface to deeper horizons, and are characterized by the presence of a spodic horizon (Bh or Bhm). Information on the genesis of spodosols in …

The Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse tropical biomes with global ecological implications. Therefore, efforts to understand this biome are of great importance. The microbiota of the Amazon rainforest plays an indispensable role in the accomplishment of numerous biogeochemical processes, such as nutrient cycling, degradation of organic matter, and others. However, the structu…
The Amazon rainforest has the largest land area of rainforest in the world, playing a key role in the conservation of biodiversity, biogeochemical cycles and climate regulation. It has been observed in tree species of the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, the bacterial community structures associated with phyllosphere, dermosfera and rhizosphere are unique and depend on the plant taxon, and …
The development of alternative technologies aimed at increasing the availability and efficient use of mineral resources for the plants appear as an important measure to achieve sustainable agricultural growth. In this context, the supply of nitrogen by biological means using diazotrophic micro-organisms, of which the most studied are the rhizobia associated symbiotically legumes, it is an…

The Amazon forest represents the largest rainforest in the world, and plays a key role in the conservation of biodiversity. It has been observed that, in tree species of the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, the bacterial community structures associated with the phyllosphere, dermosphere and rhizosphere are unique and depend on the plant taxon, and that the intra-taxon similarities among com…
Podzols are high occurrence soils in coastal plain of São Paulo State. There are few information related to podzols genesis in tropical regions, however, it is possible that specific microorganisms are involved in the selective degradation of MO during the genesis of Podzols. Although the importance of soil organisms is widely recognized, studies about their functional roles in the format…
The molecular mechanisms controlling the different stages of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) development are beginning to be elucidated. Studies with several plant species point to the important regulatory role of phytohormones on the development of AM. Besides the correlative data, genetic and transgenic approaches have shown evidence of ethylene signaling during mycorrhizal colonization. In …
