The biorefinery concept has been applied to wastewater and solid waste treatment systems by various research groups around the world. Many advances have been achieved mainly with the application of anaerobic biotechnology, with increasing yields and productivity in the production of organic acids, solvents, bioplastics, hydrogen, and methane, among other products of interest. The growing …
Freshwater ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change because (I) many species in these habitats have limited ability to disperse as the environment changes; (II) the temperature and availability of water are climate dependent; and (III) many systems are already exposed to several anthropogenic stressors. The aim of this project is to investigate the effects of global climat…
Indigenous Antarctic microbes possess unique biochemical and metabolic properties encoded within their genetic resources, which make them able to adapt and survive to extreme environmental conditions, such as high salinity levels, pressures that exceed 100 MPa, low or high and extremely fluctuating temperatures (from 89 °C up to 90 °C), low nutrient availability and high solar radiation. …
The effects of climate change at the scale of microbial communities and at different trophic levels have been little explored in the context of aquatic ecosystems. These limitations are mainly caused by the difficulty in (i) in situ experimentation in natural ecosystems, (ii) difficulties in obtaining data at a scale at which the effects of climate change could be observed (large geograph…
The effects of climate change on a microbial community scale and their relationships with different trophic levels have been little explored in the context of aquatic ecosystems. These limitations are caused by the difficulty (I) to carry in situ experimentation on natural ecosystems, (II) obtaining data in large-scale (geographic) to observe effects of climate change, and (III) the use o…
Biosynthetic genes of natural products (NP) are found in clusters in bacteria, being the non-ribosomal peptides and polyketides two families of compounds that have arousing great interest in the scientific community due to their great diversity of structures and functions with pharmacological and industrial importance. In this sense, understanding the diversity and which environmental fac…
Seeking new alternatives that can effectively replace the great demand for synthetic surfactants that are toxic, non-biodegradable and environmentally hazardous elements, biosurfactants are a promising alternative, presenting important advantages such as biodegradability, adaptation to adverse conditions, ecological acceptability, and they hold the possibility of being genetically modifie…
The biorefinery concept goes beyond the compliance with environmental legislation for wastewater treatment, by adding value to the by-products of the process. In this context, the use of acidogenic reactors is encouraging due to the possibility of recovering intermediate products of anaerobic digestion. In acidogenic reactors, the fermentative reactions are predominant, transforming the c…

Microorganisms inhabiting extreme environments are supposed to encode secondary metabolites as a survival strategy for thriving under harsh environmental conditions. Such environments harbor an unexplored potential for the discovery of new chemical compounds which could lead to new drugs. Antarctic environments have been particularly overlooked and the biosynthetic potential of soil micro…
Isolation, metagenomics and metataxonomics studies conducted by the research team from the Microbial Resources Division, CPQBA, Unicamp, showed that the most abundant bacterial groups with biotechnological potential from South Shetlands Islands, in Maritime Antarctic, are members of the genera Arthrobacter, Chryseobacterium/Flavobacterium, Polaromonas and Psychrobacter. Based on this back…
This study aims to develop and improve skills related to pigments identification. Recently, four pigmented bacteria from the Antarctic continent were able to withstand UV-B and UV-C radiation - Arthrobacter agilis 50-cyt, Celullophaga fucicola 416, Zobellia laminarie 465 and Arthrobacter alpinus 366. The pigments were extracted and characterized by the UV spectrum absorbance. In addition…
This study aims the development and improvement of skills related to meta-omics dataset analysis applied to anaerobic digestion bioprocesses, through the use of specific and state-of-the-art bioinformatic pipelines (MG-RAST, FROGS) and robust and efficient statistical approaches (R packages). Therefore, the project has two main objectives: (i) mining existing public and private meta-omic …
