Chemical and sensorial profile of cultivars fermented by different post-harvest processing methods.

Climatic conditions, genotypes, and post-harvest processing methods influence coffee quality. Microbial fermentation during post-harvest processing has sparked researchers' interest due to the modulation of the sensory characteristics of coffee. However, the influence of microbial fermentation on different coffee genotypes has been little investigated.

Intestinal microbial diversity of swines fed with different sources of lithium.

Unlabelled: A drug that is widely used in the treatment of psychiatric disorder is lithium (Li) salts. The people who make therapeutic use of this drug develop a series of side effects. Through metataxonomic data, this study assessed the impacts of lithium, as Li carbonate or Li-enriched mushrooms, on the microbial composition of the ileum, colon, and feces of piglets.

Diversity of potential nitrogen-fixing bacteria from rhizosphere of the L. and L.

L. and L. are coffee species most consumed and marketed in the world.

lignocellulolases and lipases produced in Macaúba residue and use of the enzymatic extract in the degradation of textile dyes.

Agro-industrial residue and textile effluents have caused environmental damage to soil and water bodies. The production of fungal enzymes using agro-industrial residues and the use of these enzymes in the degradation of textile dyes can be a viable alternative to reduce these environmental damages. is a white rot fungus with high nutritional value that produces edible mushrooms and enzymes of commercial interest.

Microbiomes associated with Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora in four different floristic domains of Brazil.

Brazilian coffee production relies on the cultivation of Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora. Climate change has been responsible for the decreasing yield of the crops in the country yet the associated microbial community can mitigate these effects by improving plant growth and defense. Although some studies have tried to describe the microorganisms associated with these Coffea species, a study that compares the microbiome on a wider spatial scale is needed for a better understanding of the terroir of each coffee planting region.

Bioavailability of Li-enriched mushrooms and protection against oxidative stress in pigs: First study in vivo.

Mycelia and mushrooms are able to bioaccumulate minerals. Lithium is the active principle of drugs used in the treatment of psychiatric diseases. However, a dietary source of Li can reduce the side effects of these drugs.

Evaluation of genetic divergence of coffee genotypes using the volatile compounds and sensory attributes profile.

The quality of the coffee beverage is related to the chemical, physical, and sensory attributes of the coffee beans that vary with the geographic location of the crop, genetic factors, and post-harvest processing. So, the objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic divergence of 27 genotypes of Coffea canephora using the volatile compounds and sensory attributes profile to select genotypes that produce a coffee beverage with high sensory quality. This genetic diversity was estimated from the Euclidean distance matrix using non-standard data and the Unweighted Pair-Group Method Using Arithmetic Averages (UPGMA).

Bacterial cellulase from the intestinal tract of the sugarcane borer.

Cellulolytic enzymes have wide use in several industrial segments (e.g. biofuels, pulp and paper, food, and cosmetics).

Enzymatic extract containing lignin peroxidase immobilized on carbon nanotubes: Potential biocatalyst in dye decolourization.

The majority of the textile dyes are harmful to the environment and potentially carcinogenic. Among strategies for their exclusion, the treatment of dye contaminated wastewater with fungal extract, containing lignin peroxidase (LiP), may be useful. Two fungi isolates, (PLO9) and (GRM117), produced the enzymatic extract by fermentation in the lignocellulosic residue, seed cake.

Degradation of Green Polyethylene by Pleurotus ostreatus.

We studied the biodegradation of green polyethylene (GP) by Pleurotus ostreatus. The GP was developed from renewable raw materials to help to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. However, little information regarding the biodegradation of GP discarded in the environment is available.

Abiotic and biotic degradation of oxo-biodegradable plastic bags by Pleurotus ostreatus.

In this study, we evaluated the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus PLO6 using oxo-biodegradable plastics as a carbon and energy source. Oxo-biodegradable polymers contain pro-oxidants that accelerate their physical and biological degradation. These polymers were developed to decrease the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills.

Lignocellulolytic enzyme production of Pleurotus ostreatus growth in agroindustrial wastes.

The mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus has nutritional and medicinal characteristics that depend on the growth substrate. In nature, this fungus grows on dead wood, but it can be artificially cultivated on agricultural wastes (coffee husks, eucalyptus sawdust, corncobs and sugar cane bagasse). The degradation of agricultural wastes involves some enzyme complexes made up of oxidative (laccase, manganese peroxidase and lignin peroxidase) and hydrolytic enzymes (cellulases, xylanases and tanases).

Degradation of oxo-biodegradable plastic by Pleurotus ostreatus.

Growing concerns regarding the impact of the accumulation of plastic waste over several decades on the environmental have led to the development of biodegradable plastic. These plastics can be degraded by microorganisms and absorbed by the environment and are therefore gaining public support as a possible alternative to petroleum-derived plastics. Among the developed biodegradable plastics, oxo-biodegradable polymers have been used to produce plastic bags.

Enrichment of mushrooms: an interesting strategy for the acquisition of lithium.

The capability of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom to accumulate lithium (Li) and the accessibility of this Li compared with lithium carbonate (Li(2)CO(3)), often used as psychiatric medicine, were investigated. Mushrooms were produced on a substrate-based on coffee husk, with different added concentrations of lithium chloride (LiCl). Biological efficiency (BE), the crude protein content, the concentration of Li and other elements present in mushrooms were determined.

Selenium bioaccumulation in shiitake mushrooms: a nutritional alternative source of this element.

Unlabelled: Mushrooms have effective mechanisms to absorb and accumulate trace elements from substrates and, therefore could be used as a strategy to produce mineral-enriched food and nutritional supplements. This study aimed to enrich shiitake mushrooms with selenium (Se), an important dietary element in human health. Strains of Lentinula edodes (Berk.

How much myocardial revascularization can we do without extracorporeal circulation?

Objective: The main goal of this study is to present a technical alternative that allows myocardial revascularization to be performed on the marginal branches of the circumflex coronary artery without the use of extracorporeal circulation (ECC).

Methods: The technique for exposing the coronary vessels is performed by placing a stitch in the posterior pericardium. The surgeon lifts the heart using his or her left hand with the aim of exposing the posterior pericardium.
