The AP.EMU project entitled laboratory scale supercritical extraction unit refers to the purchase of an extraction equipment with supercritical fluid and accessories. The equipment was primarily requested and further recommended in the thematic project 2016 / 06931-4. The equipment will be used to perform green extractions without the use of petrochemical solvents, within the expectations…
Marine algae have to develop defense strategies, in order to survive in a competitive environment, that result in a tremendous diversity of compounds from different metabolic pathways. Recent trends in drug research from natural sources have shown that algae are promising organisms to furnish novel biochemically active compounds. The aim of this project is to study the compounds biosynthe…

Marine algae have developed defense strategies to oppose environment challenges (light exposure, pollution etc.). That resulted in a tremendous diversity of compounds from different metabolic pathways, what highlight these macrophytes' plasticity. Different approaches have been used to measure metabolism changes evoked by those challenges, but no protocol has been so powerful than environ…
Algae were and still are fundamental organisms for the evolution of terrestrial life, mainly because they are important producers of O2 and organic matter. These organisms are responsible for half of the total global photosynthetic activity. In addition, algae play an important role in energy transformations, in nutrient recycling and represent the basis of the food chain in aquatic envir…

Marine algae have been evaluated as an attractive source of potential drugs in several biochemical and pharmacological investigations. Among seaweeds, the Rhodophyta Laurencia sensu lato, are known to be an extremely rich source of unique halogenated secondary metabolites, especially sesquiterpenes and acetogenins. Some Brazilian species of Laurencia have been reported to contain compound…
Several eukaryotic organisms have the ability to synthesize large quantities of oil in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs), which are stored in lipid bodies and can be used for the production of biodiesel. Among these organisms, a group that has been considered promising are the microalgae, which have a high natural capacity for lipid storage, high growth rate and tolerance to diverse env…
Our project is designed to manipulate two important steps in the metabolic pathway of formation of TAGs in three species of microalgae considered optimum oil producing (C. reinhardtii, C protothecoides and Nannochloropsis sp). The first step aims to increase the amount of Malonyl-CoA, the major precursor in the biosynthesis of lipids. The second step is related to increase carbon chains (…
