Abstract
The microbiota is an abundant source of genes for industrial application. In forty years of work, we have assembled a collection of diverse genomes, metagenomas and consortia. Among these data, we have Metagenomas from forest soils, sugarcane and eucalyptus cultivation soils, rumen, filter cake, and ecosystems in different stages of recovery from mining activity (Sabará, MG); sequenced ge…
Multi-user equipment approved in grant 2019/20825-0: Ultra High Efficiency Liquid Chromatography System - HPLC, AP.EMU
Abstract
The Engineering Research Center - Plant Health in Sugarcane (ERC-PHS) is proposed to develop basic and applied studies on sugarcane pest management. Despite the historical success of biological control programs of insect pests and breeding programs for diseases, the sugarcane industry still faces important pest and disease problems. The ERC-PHS is an interdisciplinary and multi-institute …
Multi-user equipment granted in the project FAPESP proc. 2017/25258-1: Particle Size Analyzer, AP.EMU
Abstract
The purpose of the Cell Sorter Aria III CDU 5B/3R/6V is to analyze and separate distinct cell populations from samples containing mixtures of cells, such as peripheral blood, lymphoid tissues, tumors, solid organs, or other tissues. The equipment will be part of the equipment park of the Translational Medicine Research Platform - Fiocruz/Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine - USP, and will b…

Abstract
The quality of food products throughout their shelf life changes as they are perishable by nature. Moreover, consumers increasingly demand for more convenient products with a lower degree of processing and presenting fresh features with high quality. Intelligent packaging is a new concept that can be used as a tool to monitor and report a quality attribute of a product from its distributi…
Development of low density polymer films for smart packaging, AP.EMU
Abstract
The X-ray diffraction technique commonly available in research laboratories, which we call conventional, is based on the Bragg-Brentano configuration. This enables us to analyze samples previously powdered and to obtain information on the crystal structure and/or relative phase amorphous/crystalline phase in glass ceramic samples. These are information, in general, of an average of what h…
EMU granted in process 2013 / 07793-6: x-ray diffraction equipment with small area accessory, AP.EMU
Abstract
Red blood cell disorders: Pathophysiology and new therapeutic approaches, this Project is developed by the Research Group on Red blood cells formed by researchers of the Blood Center, Department of clinical pathology, Faculty of medical sciences and the Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering Center (CBMEG) at UNICAMP in collaboration with several Brazilian and international researchers…
