• Abstract

  Non-tuberculosis bacteria, also called environmental bacteria, are microorganisms that adapt to different temperature, pH and oxygen conditions. Our hypothesis is that given these characteristics, this group of bacteria may contain robust enzymes with industrial utility. These data have motivated the studies of our research group in order to characterize NT and to evaluate its potential o…

  Omics analyzes of Mycobacteriaceae for the characterization of gene clusters involved in the degradation of substrates of industrial interest, AP.R

• Abstract

  The utility of microbiotic enzymes in industrial processes has gathered attention due to their efficiency when compared to chemical catalysts, in addition to being considered also for their greater ecological viability. Enzymes such as pectinase, amylase, cellulases and ligninases have relevance in the food, textile, recycling and vegetable oil extraction, bioethanol and drug synthesis in…

  Screening of bacterial isolates with potential for biodegradation of pectin, starch, cellulose and lignin, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Petroleum is a composite product which, in addition to being very important economically, also stands out for its potential polluter, through contamination of soil and water, being a challenge for environmental sanitation. An alternative for the removal of these compounds is bioremediation, which consists of biotransforming them into less toxic compounds and in some cases without toxicity…

  Use of phenotypic and molecular tests for the identification of bacteria with the ability to biodegrade hydrocarbons, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Nowadays, the genus Mycobacterium has 149 species that can be divided into two large groups, the first group includes strict pathogens for man such as members of the group M. tuberculosis and M. leprae and are not found in environment. The second group consists of potentially pathogenic mycobacteria or saprophytic ones commonly denominated non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). This group is…
