• Abstract

  The end of the cytochrome oxidase I gene was recently proposed as a marker to identify all animal species. The few studies with birds show that this mitochondrial region can successfully achieve this goal. In the present proposal, we intend to sequence oxidase I from at least 100 species of birds that occur in areas within the Atlantic Forest where VALE S.A. is active. We will analyze th…

• Abstract

  Environmental liabilities from aggregate mining promote landscape change and biodiversity loss, and modify the superficial dynamic processes and the water cycle, which cause significant environmental impacts. The existence of such areas has motivated this research. The proper recovery of degraded areas by mining, with the maintenance of ecosystem services is a current and relevant challen…

• Abstract

  The acid mine drainage occurs when pyrite and other minerals containing sulfides are oxidized spontaneously due to the presence of oxygen and water, producing sulfuric acid that dissolves metals present in soil or rocks. This drainage can reach water bodies, affecting aquatic life and restricting the water consumption. Treatment of acid mine drainage by biological processes that involve r…

  Natural products, when used as herbicide, destroy the vegetal tissues by contact action, featuring quickly action and some cases, require less half an hour for the target plant becomes vulnerable to these compounds. The use of natural products as prototypes for finding of herbicides is an area which is being operated slowly, perhaps by small number of researchers in the area, fault jobs i…

  Prospection, selection, and enzymatic characterization of superoxide dismutase and catalase in metagenomic libraries from different soils: The intense industrial progress observed currently generates large amounts of pollutants that are harmful to the environment. These residues cause irreversible impacts to the sites where it is introduced and it is common the use of organisms as biomark…
