Bioprospecting, which involves the search for macromolecules from natural sources for economic, ecological, and social use, has become an area of growing interest in recent decades. The discovery of new bioactive compounds-such as pharmaceuticals, industrial enzymes, and natural chemicals-has been widely explored as a path to innovative and sustainable solutions for societal challenges. P…
Brazil is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, and the Atlantic Forest is a refuge and cradle for several species. The Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station (EEJI) displays one of the few remaining forest continuums of this highly threatened formation in the São Paulo state. In addition, the EEJI encompasses different habitats, from rocky shores, beaches, and mangroves to import…
Coral reefs are the most biodiverse marine ecosystems on the planet, hosting a vast array of species and playing a crucial role in the health of the oceans. This biodiversity is largely the result of the complex ecological relationships present in these environments, notably the symbiosis between corals and the zooxanthellae microalgae of the genus Symbiodinium, which mutually provide nut…
Agriculture plays a crucial role in society, providing food, fibers, medicines, and raw materials. In Brazil, as an agricultural powerhouse, it is fundamental for both the domestic and international supply. However, traditional agriculture faces sustainability challenges due to environmental impacts and pests. Conventional methods often involve pesticides and unsustainable practices, affe…
Bioprospecting involves the search for molecules of biological origin with the purpose of discovering applications of economic, ecological, and social interest. Historically, plants have been prospected for a long time, being part of the culture of many peoples who have observed their medicinal, cosmetic, and even nutritional properties. In this sense, what is observed today is the discov…
The molecular biodiversity of plants is a valuable source of active compounds with therapeutic and aesthetic properties capable of modulating cellular pathways and enzymatic processes. Bioprospecting has significantly contributed to our understanding of these bioactives. Brazil, as the possessor of approximately 20% of the world's flora, attracts interest from the scientific and business …
The Bioluminescence in beetles is mainly found in the superfamily Elateroidea. Although the biochemistry of the bioluminescent system and the morphology of the fireflies lanterns are well studied, the origin and evolution of lanterns in different families is not well understood. Furthermore, the biosynthetic origin of luciferin, a benzotiazolic compound which is a substrate for the biolum…

Bioluminescence, the light emission produced by living organisms, has been widely found in terrestrial habitats in Elateroidea superfamily. The mechanism of light production in this superfamily is well known, however studies about genome organization and size are not discussed yet. The functional genomic projects are helping to identify important structural and functional elements of geno…
Bioluminescence has been widely found in many different taxa and habitats. Among terrestrial organisms, bioluminescence is mainly described in Coleoptera and Diptera. In Diptera order, bioluminescence occurs in Keroplatus, Arachnocampa and Orfelia genus (Keroplatidae). Oferlia fultoni occurs in stream banks in the Appalachian Mountains at North Caroline and uses the bioluminescence as lur…
Bioluminescence, in beetles, occurs mainly within the families Elateriade, Lampyridae and Phengodidae (Elateroidea). The origin of bioluminescence within the superfamily Elateroidea is still a mystery, due to the convergence between luminescent and non luminescent families, mainly in the Elateridae family. The phylogeny of these families is not clear yet; different molecular markers disp…
