Draft genome sequence of the deep-subsurface sp. strain T2.26MG-112.2, a second Rhizobiaceae isolated from the Iberian Pyrite Belt at 492.6 mbs.

T2.26MG-112.2 is a strain that has been isolated from the deep subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite Belt.

Valorization into Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), Organic Acids and Functional Ingredients.

1H9 is a moderate halophilic strain able to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)), a biodegradable plastic, and gluconic acid, a valuable organic acid with wide industrial applications. In this work, the green alga was used as platform to produce cultivation substrates for microbial conversion as well as functional ingredients, targeting its full valorization. The liquor obtained by autohydrolysis presented the highest concentration of oligosaccharides and protein, being an interesting feedstock to produce functional ingredients.

Co-Production of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and Gluconic Acid from Glucose by .

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biopolyesters regarded as an attractive alternative to petroleum-derived plastics. Nitrogen limitation and phosphate limitation in glucose cultivations were evaluated for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) production by 1H9, a moderate halophilic strain. Co-production of P(3HB) and gluconic acid was observed in fed-batch glucose cultivations under nitrogen limiting conditions.

Analysis of etiological factors of nursing diagnosis of impaired comfort in children and adolescents with cancer.

Aim: To analyse the etiological factors of the nursing diagnosis of impaired comfort in children and adolescents with cancer.

Design: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the referral unit for the treatment of childhood cancer in a tertiary hospital located in northeastern Brazil.

Methods: A total of 200 children and adolescents who were undergoing cancer treatment were included in this study.

Coupled C, H, N, S and Fe biogeochemical cycles operating in the continental deep subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite Belt.

Microbial activity is a major contributor to the biogeochemical cycles that make up the life support system of planet Earth. A 613 m deep geomicrobiological perforation and a systematic multi-analytical characterization revealed an unexpected diversity associated with the rock matrix microbiome that operates in the subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB). Members of 1 class and 16 genera were deemed the most representative microorganisms of the IPB deep subsurface and selected for a deeper analysis.
