A dissertação apresentada, “Estudo da Viabilidade e Incorporação de Myrtus spp. em diferentes produtos alimentares”, foi realizada com base no desenvolvimento de novas formulações alimentares, tendo como objetivo valorizar nutricionalmente os alimentos, com o extrato de Myrtus s…
A doença no período pré-desmame tem um grande impacto no crescimento e na vida produtiva da futura vaca. Cerca de 50% das mortes que ocorrem no primeiro ano de vida acontecem nas primeiras 6 semanas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a transferência de imunidade passiva (…
Objective of this study was to evaluate effect of UV-C radiation (0, 1.16 and 3.21 kJ/cm2), pomegranate (Punica granatum) seed essential oil (PGEO) and lemon (Citrus lemonum) plant essential oil (CLEO) on decontamination of Candida albicans, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcu…
Surface water contamination has been a global concern for years, especially in the developing world where high-quality centralized water treatment systems are often lacking. An alternative point-of-use household water treatment technology widely adopted in many developing countr…
Pathogenic E. coli infections cause approximately one quarter of disease losses in commercial turkey flocks. A small subgroup of E. coli causes most infections. Epidemiologic studies of this disease have been hindered by a lack of reliable markers to discriminate between pathoge…
A major bottleneck in drug discovery is the production of soluble human recombinant protein for functional, biochemical and structural analyses. The level of recombinant protein expression is controlled by a complex relationship between both biological and engineering variables.…
The primary aim of this investigation was to identify and assess the interactions (synergies and antagonisms) that exist between 20 minute detergent and 5 minute disinfectant treatments upon three factory isolated strains of surface adhered (1-hour attached) and surface adapted …
The expression of polysaccharide capsules is common in bacteria and associated with virulence in some pathogenic strains. Strains of the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli express a structurally diverse range of capsular polysaccharides. E. coli strains expressing group 2 …
Typically, systems biology focuses on the form and function of networks of biochemical interactions. Questions inevitably arise as to the evolutionary origin of those networks' properties. Such questions are of interest to a growing number of systems biologists, and several grou…
