On the Significance of the ADNT1 Carrier in under Waterlogging Conditions.

Among the adenylate carriers identified in , only the AMP/ATP transporter shows increased expression in roots under waterlogging stress conditions. Here, we investigated the impact of a reduced expression of in plants submitted to waterlogging conditions. For this purpose, an T-DNA mutant and two antisense lines were evaluated.

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.
