- Increase of dairy cattle productivity in Brazil: development and evaluation of a new probiotic for dairy cattle in tropical conditions from the ruminal microbiota study, AP.PIPE
Abstract
Bovines are herbivorous mammals that possess a fermentation chamber called rumen, where a complex network of microorganisms performs the digestion of vegetal food. A healthy ruminal microbiota is related to good physiological performance, health and high productivity, while its imbalance makes the animal susceptible to disease burden and can lead to death. Understand the rumen microbiot...

- Characterization of extracellular vesicles from pathogenic fungi under stress and their role in cellular communication, BP.DR
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EV) have recently been described in pathogenic fungi. In our laboratory, we have previously reported Paracoccidioides brasiliensis EV protein and lipid content, besides carbohydrate epitopes. Nowadays, we also have results of the RNA and polysaccharide EV content. Fungal EV carry components that potentially interact with the host, stimulate the immune system and...
- Heterolougous expression and antigenic characterization of Plgp43 from Paracoccidioides lutzii, BP.MS
Abstract
The gp43 antigen is the main diagnosis antigen of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic mycosis caused by Paracoccidioides species. Our laboratory has recombinant isoforms of the molecule, produced in Pichia pastoris, which are useful in diagnostic assays of patients infected with phylogenetic groups S1, PS2 and PS3 of P. brasiliensis. The group of Pb01-like isolates have recently be...
