Biology student at Federal University of Minas Gerais. Has experience in biochemistry including protein sequencing and use of peptides as antimicrobial and analgesic agents. Currently working on a master's in plant biology by the Plant biology Graduate Program at UFMG, investigating the effects of silicon and aluminium on maize root cell wall polysaccharides, oriented by professor Marcel Giovanni Costa França. Currently teaches medical biochemistry at the Minas Gerais Medical Sciences College (Faculdade de Ciências Médicas de Minas Gerais) (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Lignin is an aromatic polymer abundantly present in plant secondary cell walls. Consequently, it builds up a large portion of plant biomass. Because of its recalcitrant nature, lignin is considered an obstacle to the extraction of fermentable sugars from plant biomass to produce downstream products, which are increasingly regarded as a sustainable/renewable alternative to fossil resources…
The phenylpropanoid metabolism is the source of a vast array of specialized metabolites, including lignin, a phenolic polymer crucial for structural support and protection against stresses. Because of its recalcitrant nature, lignin is considered an obstacle to biomass processing into downstream products. Recently, the flavone tricin was identified as an authentic lignin monomer, present …
