More than 20 years after the sequencing of the human genome, genomics is a mature science. Since the emergence of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques, hundreds of animal and plant genomes have been sequenced and better understood. However, these studies still have a high cost, demanding a team trained in genomics and bioinformatics, involving a long time of analysis. Therefore, th…
The use of probiotic microorganisms in the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections in animals intended for human consumption has been considered an efficient alternative to the use of antibiotics. In addition, recent studies have shown that certain substances produced by these microorganisms, such as bacteriocins, vitamins, fatty acids, exopolysaccharides, enzymes, among others, …
Theobroma grandiflorum, (cupuassu) is a member of the Malvaceae family, and one of the most popular species in the Brazilian Amazon. The cupuassu fruit pulp is much appreciated for the preparation of juices, jams, liqueurs, jellies, ice cream, and others. The seeds are used in the manufacture of chocolate powder and tablets (cupulate) and the cosmetics industry. Although fruit growers are…
The carnivorous plants of the family Lentibulariaceae have attained recent attention not only because of their interesting lifestyle, but also because of their dynamic nuclear genome size. Lentibulariaceae genomes span an order of magnitude and include species with the smallest genomes in angiosperms, making them a powerful system to study the mechanisms of genome expansion and contractio…
The Lentibulariaceae belongs to the richest carnivorous plants families and therefore grouped into 320 species arranged in three genres: Pinguicula, Genlisea and Utricularia. Recent phylogenetic and comparative studies indicated that the Lentibulariaceae are positioned at the Lamiales order, but their relationships within different families are still under discussion. The family is monoph…
N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a potent psychedelic substance, is endogenously produced within various human organs, including the lungs, spinal cord, brain, retina, and pineal gland. Yet, the precise role and function of endogenous DMT remain enigmatic. Ayahuasca, the most prevalent botanical source of DMT and traditionally used in religious ceremonies by Amerindian communities, is under …
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to global public health, recognized by major regulatory, economic, and political bodies, including the International Monetary Fund, the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, and the G8, as one of the greatest global health challenges of the 21st century. The ability of resistance genes to spread through mobile genetic elements …
The gut microbiota of poultry is a complex community, encompassing bacteria, phages, archaea, fungi, and protozoa. Changes in the composition and diversity of this microbiota can have significant impacts on poultry health, affecting their production, performance, and welfare. Genomics-based studies, particularly metagenomic sequencing techniques, have revolutionized this field of science,…

The use of bacteriocins is a promising, efficient, and current approach to food conservation, as it aims to reduce pathogenic microorganisms that cause economic losses in poultry and swine farming. Thus, this proposal intends to identify and understand possible relationships between bacteriocins, their sequences, and the niche to obtain by genomic and data mining studies focusing on bacte…
This study aims to perform genomic analysis of probiotic bacterial strains that are bacteriocins producer, that were isolated from samples of the intestinal microbiota of Cobb broilers (Gallus gallus domesticus), crossbreeds of Landrace and Large white pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) and fish (Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, and rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss). For this, the followi…
The carnivorous plants of the family Lentibulariaceae, which include the genera Pinguicula, Genlisea and Utricularia, have drawn the attention of the scientific community in recent years since they are good candidates for model plants. It isn't only their atypical morphological and physiological adaptations for obtaining nutrients that make then an ideal model, it is also the ease of cult…

Brasilonema is a cyanobacterial genus in which the only known oxyphotobacteria known to infect plants are classified. The study of genomes from micro-organisms of this genus may bring several contributions, including a better understanding of the diversity of cyanobacterial secondary metabolism and the possible role of their bioactive molecules. Previously, as part of the project "Compara…
