Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR). Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde (CCBS) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Portugal
Graduated in Applied Biology from the University of Minho, Portugal (2001) and PhD in Ecology from the University of Namur, Belgium (2006). Post-doctorate at the Instituto de Ciències del Mar (CSIC) in Barcelona (Spain), and at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), Natal (RN). He is currently Adjunct Professor in the Department of Hydrobiology of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), accredited in the Postgraduate Program in Ecology and Natural Resources (PPGERN) at UFSCar and in the Postgraduate Program in Ecology of Continental Aquatic Environments of the State University of Maringá (UEM). Responsible for the Laboratory of Biodiversity and Microbial Processes (LBPM), he develops research in the ecology of aquatic systems, with special emphasis on the biotic interactions, structure and function of planktonic communities in all trophic web compartments (viruses, bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton ) in all kinds of aquatic environments.

- Flow cytometry as a tool to assess the impact of mixotrophic Algae in planktonic food webs, AP.R
Abstract
Mixotrophic algae have phagocytic capability to ingest bacteria and are a critica I component in microbial food webs. The aim of this project is to develop techniques for quantifying mixotrophic organisms and estimating bacterivory rates in situ using flow cytometry. (AU)
- Institutional research resources: center of biological and health Council/Federal University of São Carlos (CCBS/UFSCar), AP.RT.INST
Abstract
The Institutional application of research resources was approved at the extra meeting of the Center of Biological and Health Council (CoC/CCBS) held on 07.19.2016. After extensive discussion, the CoC/CCBS approved the proposed plan, and also agreed on its application to FAPESP. The coordination and management of this Allocation Plan was awarded to Professor Hugo Miguel Preto de Morais S...
- Microbial processes and biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems, AP.JP
Abstract
Aquatic ecosystems play an important role in the cycling of energy and matter, and generally present high productivity and biodiversity. In tropical regions, these ecosystems are particularly relevant to biogeochemical cycles. Microorganisms play a central role in CO2 production and consumption processes in these ecosystems. However, little is known about the phylogenetic diversity of t...

- Structuring processes of microbial communities and ecological networks in latitudinal gradients of the global ocean, BP.DR
Abstract
Biogeographical patterns have been widely studied for over two centuries. However, investigating such patterns as well as testing ecological theories for microbial communities was methodologically impossible until very recently. These questions only became accountable when modern molecular and bioinformatic tools were developed, thereby allowing the characterization of microbiomes direc...
- Influence of quantity and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on bacterial metabolism, BP.IC
Abstract
Heterotrophic bacteria are main decomposers of the organic matter in aquatic environments, through the assimilation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), converting it into particulate organic carbon. Bacterial production (BP) and bacterial respiration (BR) are essential processes in the carbon cycle in aquatic ecosystems, the first being the process of recovery of energy released in the p...
- Comparative study of DNA extraction methods in microalgae, BP.IC
Abstract
In recent years, the study of the microbial component of biosphere biodiversity has had huge advances, particularly with the emergence of next generation sequencing techniques. A critical step in this process is the DNA extraction method. The standardization of methods used to access the biodiversity of microorganisms was proposed by the Earth Microbiome Project (EMP), however, these me...
