The present postdoctoral research project is based on the project submitted and approved by FAPESP 2017/22501-2. As mentioned in the proposal and thanks to Dr. Douglas's profile, he will be able to participate on the goals 5 and 6 of the proposal. More specifically in Goal 5 the postdoc can participate: (i) in the isolation and quantification of the biosynthetic intermediates of the vario…
Due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic situation, several bioluminescent fungi collected at Atlantic Rainforest (Brazil) by our group over the last three years remain waiting taxonomic classification. Besides morphological analysis, DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of combined barcodes are crucial for fungal systematics and evolution studies. Thus, the first aim …
Bioluminescence is the light emission phenomena by certain organisms as result of the oxidation of a substrate (luciferin) by an enzyme (luciferase). About 20% of all species of bioluminescent fungi known in the world were described by our research group in collaboration with fungal taxonomists from Brazil and USA. Due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic situation, severa…
