Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexandre Favarin Somera"
- Alexandre Favarin Somera's research primarily focuses on enzymatic processes and treatments that enhance the saccharification and degradation of plant materials, particularly in relation to sugarcane bagasse and starch from plant sources.
- Findings show that specific ionic compositions, particularly the removal of lithium from sugarcane bagasse, significantly improve sugar yields during hydrolytic saccharification, while various pretreatment methods result in similar ionic distributions without major structural changes.
- The studies also delve into mutualistic relationships, such as those between leaf-cutter ants and fungi, highlighting the enzymes involved in promoting starch degradation, and exploring how glycosylation affects the functional properties of enzymes from fungi, indicating a complex interaction between enzymatic activity and biochemical modifications.
