The construction of an economy centered on biotechnology, agriculture and biodiversity, will make it possible to replace products that are currently made using fossil fossils. Thus, the search and development of new biocatalysts are essential for the establishment of sustainable industrial processes. In the last decade, advances in several disciplines allowed metabolic engineers and synth…
Biotechnology plays a crucial role in the development of biocatalysts for use in industry, agriculture, medicine and energy generation. Currently, there is a growing demand for enzymes with improved catalytic performance or tolerance to process-specific parameters. Metagenomics takes advantage of the wealth of genetic and biochemical diversity present in microbial genomes found in environ…
The project aims to explore the potential of wild strains of Pseudomonas spp. isolated fromsoils by the MetaGenLab laboratory to produce high value-added compounds, such asglycolic acid (GA), using bioelectrochemical systems. GA is a compound of great industrialimportance due to its exfoliating and cell renewal properties, widely used in cosmetics andskin care products. In addition, AG is…
Microorganisms in stressed environments possess significant genetic potential. Examples include adaptations to variations in temperature, radiation, salinity, acidity, or pressure. By studying microbial diversity, with an emphasis on the metabolic activities of these microorganisms, it is possible to uncover the biochemical strategies that enable their survival. These discoveries represen…

Research and development of new biocatalysts are imperative for the establishment of sustainable industrial processes; however, the limited toolbox for reliable genetic manipulation of non-conventional microbial hosts is still a limiting factor for the industrial employment of microorganisms with great biotechnological potential. Recent advances in sequencing and data analysis technologie…
The issue of the growing cases of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a world-wide preoccupation, due to the increase of the number of cases of multiresistant microorganisms. Despite of the advances in researches in finding new drugs in an attempt to control this advance, microorganisms keep adapting themselves and become more resistance every day. Besides that, every time it becomes more ev…

Sugarcane straw biomass is a promising and abundant feedstock enriched in fermentative sugars and desirable for bioprocess in a biorefinery context. However, sugarcane biomass must be pretreated and hydrolyzed releasing degradation products that hinder microbial fermentation. Moreover, diluted-acid pretreatments applied at commercial level contribute to create an acid-stress environment e…
Biofuels produced from renewable lignocellulosic biomass are an appealing alternative to conventional fossil-based fuels and play an important role in counteracting the effects of global climate change for a more sustainable future. Nevertheless, the susceptibility of microbial cells to elevated concentrations of chemicals is one barrier that needs to be overcome for ensuring the economic…
Biofilms are bacterial structures influenced by environmental changes like pH variation, temperature differences, carbon source availability, and bacterial growth phase. These influences are processed in different layers from transcriptional gene regulation to post-translational modifications. In transcriptional gene regulation, different transcription factors can bind and/or unbind from …
Plant biomass degradation has been studied for years due to the incredible amount of byproducts generated during this process - ranging from biofuels to other noteworthy chemicals. The candidate current PhD's project is dedicated on developing and applying new tools for improving functional metagenomic screenings, more specifically for mining cellulases. We've generated metagenomic librar…
