Assistant Professor at the Department of General and Applied Biology at UNESP in Rio Claro. Coordinator of the Microbial Chemistry and Biotechnology Laboratory (LaQBiM) at UNESP in Rio Claro. She holds a degree in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo. Master and PhD in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo - Post-Doctorate from the Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering (FZEA-USP) and from the São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho, UNESP. She has experience in the field of Organic Chemistry and Microbiology. Acting mainly on the following topics: Search for natural products to combat diseases caused by bacteria and fungi in agriculture. Isolation of secondary metabolites by chromatography and structural analysis of new organic compounds using techniques such as mass spectrometry, infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR); Production of secondary metabolites by microorganisms; Bioguided fractionation of crude extracts with antibacterial activity of agronomic interest.

Bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas affect agricultural crops of great economic importance in Brazil. Generally the control of these bacteria is performed by the use of synthetic chemicals compounds (mostly copper based), among other practices, that cause negative impacts on health and the environment, making the search for sustainable alternatives to combat these bacteria increasingly more…
In Brazil many bacterial diseases, especially bacteria Xanthomonas genus, affect economically important crops. The uses of chemicals to control these plant diseases cause negative impacts on health and the environment. Thus, the search for sustainable alternatives to combat these diseases is becoming increasingly important. In this context, secondary metabolites have aroused great interes…
In recent years, bacterial resistance has become a major global problem, especially in the hospital setting, where infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, for example, represent a clinical challenge. With the increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the lack of new antibiotics being launched on the market, alternative strategies need to be found to address this problem. One possi…
Bacterial infections are becoming increasingly treatment-resistant, constituting one of the greatest global threats to public health. Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are pathogens of particular concern as they are multidrug-resistant and pose a threat in hospitals. Agricultural pathogens such as Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, which causes citrus canker in all commercia…
Angular spot caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas fragariae is the main bacterial disease in strawberry crops and current control measures are not efficient. Furthermore, the synthetic chemicals used for control have negative impacts on health and the environment. Studies suggest that essential oils may be sustainable alternatives for controlling bacterial diseases. In general, essential o…

Citrus canker is a disease caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (X. citri), which attacks all citrus species and varieties of commercial importance. Brazil annually faces significant economic losses in orchards due to citrus canker. Some current ways of controlling the disease involve: planting cultivars less susceptible to canker, installing windbreaks in orchards and u…
The demand for natural pigments has been increasing due to the harmful effects of some synthetic dyes. Bacterial and fungal pigments provide an readily available alternative as a source of natural dyes. In contrast to other natural pigments, they have enormous advantages, including rapid microorganism growth, easy processing and independence of weather conditions. Microbial pigments most …
Bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas affect agricultural crops of great economic importance in Brazil, and the control of these diseases through the use of chemical products, among other practices, causes negative impacts on health and the environment, a fact that makes the search for sustainable alternatives of fighting these diseases increasingly important. A possible alternative to the ch…
