The availability of new Omics technologies that enable the generation of a large amount of DNA sequence data, transcript quantification (messenger RNAs), microRNAs, identification and quantification of proteins and metabolites, have provided a rapid advance in the knowledge of plant biology, microorganisms and animals. However, despite this plethora of available information, we have not y…
The One Health concept proposes the integration among environment, human and animal health as well as public policies, emphasizing the need to think about human health and the environment in an inseparable way. In this context, the Tietê River Basin crosses the State of São Paulo from east to west, passing through conservation areas, agriculture and livestock and intensely urbanized and i…
The genus Phytophthora is one of the most important among the phytopathogenic oomycetes, being able to infect a large number of cultivated species of socio-economic importance for the world population, as well as many uncultivated plants. In this context, it is relevant to identify the diversity and genetic variability of these phytopathogens isolated from different host plants (especiall…
Burkholderia spp. is a main component of the sugarcane bacterial community in Brazil, which controls fungal infections by producing different antifungal compounds secreted in response to the presence of phytopathogenic fungi. We have shown that strains with high-level intrinsic antimicrobial resistance (iAMR) and increased bacterial virulence in the Galleria mellonella infection model dis…

The bacterium Burkholderia seminalis has been isolated from different environments, such as soil, water, plants, and clinical patients. The interaction with other organisms has already been demonstrated in different ways, which may be beneficial or deleterious for the host. The TC3.4.2R3 strain of B. seminalis, isolated from sugarcane, has an antagonistic potential against several phytopa…
Analysis of the lung microbiome has become essential in understanding respiratory conditions, since this community influences the immune system's response. The diversity and dynamics of microbial communities, especially in cases of bronchiectasis, reflect not only pathological imbalances but also potential therapeutic targets and clinical management strategies. Therefore, the objective of…

Biofertilizers are products that contain microorganisms capable of promoting plant growth and increasing agricultural productivity. Plant growth promoting bacteria can be a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers. In this context, methylotrophic bacteria of the genus Methylobacterium have great potential since they increase the growth of the host plant by providing nutrients and/o…
The Burkholderia genus is composed of a broad range of species with phenotypical variations that allow them to occupy different niches, colonizing environments with contrasting characteristics, such as soil, rhizosphere, freshwater, and the inner plant or animal tissues. Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a group of species that present a great relevance for medical and agricultural st…

The genus Burkholderia present species associated to phytopathogenicity, plant growth promotion, biological control and production biological active compounds. However, some environmental strains have been isolated from immunocompromised patients, presenting pro-inflammatory activity or causing pneumonia. In this context, the wcb cluster, presents approximately 24 genes involved in the sy…
Burkholderia is the object of studies that aim at various biotechnological applications as biocontrol agents, plant growth promoters and bioremediation as producers of major molecules of interest. The Burkholderia seminalis TC3.4.2R3 strain is an endophytic organism isolated from sugarcane roots and shows the ability to inhibit plant pathogenic fungus and bacteria. Gene clusters of B. sem…
Several compounds with antimicrobial activity produced by Burkholderia spp. have been investigated, which could replace conventional chemical pesticides. Gene clusters of Burkholderia seminalis strain TC3.4.2R3 associated to the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds have been identified by analyzing a mutant library. Among these genes we identified a gene encoding a glycosyltransferase (wc…
