1. Adventitial Collagen Cross-Linking by Glutaraldehyde Reinforcing Human Saphenous Vein - Implication for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
ABSTRACT Introduction: A weak venous wall is one of the major reasons contributing to vein graft failure after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We investigated whether adventitial collagen cross-linking by glutaraldehyde reinforces venous wall, preserving the endothelium of veins during high-pressure distention. Methods: Human saphenous veins (SVs)

2. Comparative Study of Degradation of Reactive Dyes and Decolorization and Detoxification in Aqueous Solution Applying DyP Peroxidases Isolated from Saccharomonospora viridis (SviDyP) and Thermobifida fusca (TfuDyp)
The wastewater that originates from the widespread usage of synthetic dyes in the industry have become a severe environmental problem. Several efforts have been made to develop new types of treatment which are capable of performing the degradation of the dyes from the environment. Within this scope, much attention has been drawn to enzymatic approaches, main

3. EVALUATION OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE OF ASPHALTENES FROM THREE OFFSHORE BRAZILIAN BIODEGRADED HEAVY OILS
Asphaltenes fractions were extracted and purified from three heavy Brazilian oils. Their mass compositions of C, H, N, Ni and V were obtained from elemental analysis and S and O atomic percentages from EDS. The H/C ratios showed high degree of unsaturation, while the O atomic percentages indicated more pronounced biodegradation effects on two samples. Quanti

4. Cocoa Agro-Industrial Residue (Theobroma cacao) as Inducer of the Production of Fungal Laccase and Kojic Acid for Application in the Biodegradation of 17-α-Ethinylestradiol
Due to the ability to catalyze the oxidation of several substrates, the enzyme laccase has been used in several applications, among them the bioremediation of emerging pollutants. This work evaluate the capacity of the cocoa agro-industrial residue to induce the production of Pycnoporus sanguineus laccase and to apply the enzymatic extract in the biodegradat

5. Biodegradation of the Pyrethroid Pesticide Esfenvalerate by a Bacterial Consortium Isolated from Brazilian Savannah
New biocatalysts for bioremediation techniques are necessary nowadays. Therefore, a bacterial consortium isolated from Brazilian Savannah was employed for biodegradation of 100 mg L-1 esfenvalerate in liquid culture medium. The bacterial consortium (Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus CBMAI2085, Bacillus cereus CBMAI2067, Lysinibacillus sp. CBMAI2051 and Bacillus s

7. Geochemical Investigation of Tar Balls Collected in a Brazilian Beach Using Biomarkers, Ni/V, δ13C Ratios and Ultra-High Resolution FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry
Representative tar balls collected in two distinct years (2012 and 2014) in a beach along the State of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, were geochemically characterized in order to identify correlations between them and investigate potential sources. Terpanes and steranes biomarkers (detected by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, GC-MS), carbon stab

8. Comparative study on the biodegradation of chlorpyrifos-methyl by Bacillus megaterium CM-Z19 and Pseudomonas syringae CM-Z6
Abstract: The strains CM-Z19 and CM-Z6, which are capable of highly degrading chlorpyrifos-methyl, were isolated from soil. They were identified as Bacillus megaterium CM-Z19 and Pseudomonas syringae CM-Z6, respectively, based on the 16S rRNA and an analysis of their morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics. The strain CM-Z19 showed 92.6%

9. BIODEGRADATION OF ACACIA AND CHESTNUT TANNINS BY NATIVE ISOLATES OF THE GENUS Penicillium AND Aspergillus
Abstract In the present work, the potential of native isolates of fungi strains to biodegrade vegetable tannins used in the tanning industry was evaluated. Penicillium citrinum showed to be more efficient for consumption of acacia tannin, reaching 94.85%. Aspergillus chevalieri needs a greater adaptation phase (48 h) in both acacia and chestnut medium, evide

10. Isolation and characterization of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from gas station leaking-contaminated groundwater in the Southern Amazon, Brazil
Resumo Vinte e três linhagens bacterianas degradadoras de hidrocarbonetos foram isoladas de água subterrânea contaminada por vazamento em posto de combustível no sul da Amazônia, Brasil. Com base na habilidade de degradar hidrocarbonetos (diesel, hexadecano, benzeno, tolueno e xileno), duas linhagens foram selecionadas para estudos posteriores. A amplif

11. KINETICS OF THE BIODEGRADATION OF MONOAROMATICS BY Pseudomonas aeruginosa
ABSTRACT Water contamination by monoaromatic compounds has risen throughout time, which leads to the necessity of developing new water treatment technology, capable of minimizing their negative effect on the environment. In this context, biological processes present themselves as a solution to the processes of extraction. Bioremediation makes use of microbia
