Brazil is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, and the Atlantic Forest is a refuge and cradle for several species. The Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station (EEJI) displays one of the few remaining forest continuums of this highly threatened formation in the São Paulo state. In addition, the EEJI encompasses different habitats, from rocky shores, beaches, and mangroves to import…
The molecular biodiversity of plants is a valuable source of active compounds with therapeutic and aesthetic properties capable of modulating cellular pathways and enzymatic processes. Bioprospecting has significantly contributed to our understanding of these bioactives. Brazil, as the possessor of approximately 20% of the world's flora, attracts interest from the scientific and business …
The Bioluminescence in beetles is mainly found in the superfamily Elateroidea. Although the biochemistry of the bioluminescent system and the morphology of the fireflies lanterns are well studied, the origin and evolution of lanterns in different families is not well understood. Furthermore, the biosynthetic origin of luciferin, a benzotiazolic compound which is a substrate for the biolum…
Several luminescent beetle luciferases have been cloned and sequenced, mainly from species of Lampyridae family. Despite many luciferases were cloned, luciferases from different life stages (egg, larva and adult) of the same species were not cloned and compared yet. This study is particularly relevant to better understand the ontogeny and molecular evolution of luciferases and bioluminesc…
Bioluminescence, the light emission produced by living organisms, has been widely found in terrestrial habitats in Elateroidea superfamily. The mechanism of light production in this superfamily is well known, however studies about genome organization and size are not discussed yet. The functional genomic projects are helping to identify important structural and functional elements of geno…
Bioluminescence has been widely found in many different taxa and habitats. Among terrestrial organisms, bioluminescence is mainly described in Coleoptera and Diptera. In Diptera order, bioluminescence occurs in Keroplatus, Arachnocampa and Orfelia genus (Keroplatidae). Oferlia fultoni occurs in stream banks in the Appalachian Mountains at North Caroline and uses the bioluminescence as lur…
Bioluminescence, in beetles, occurs mainly within the families Elateriade, Lampyridae and Phengodidae (Elateroidea). The origin of bioluminescence within the superfamily Elateroidea is still a mystery, due to the convergence between luminescent and non luminescent families, mainly in the Elateridae family. The phylogeny of these families is not clear yet; different molecular markers disp…
