1. Mercury Concentration in Liver Tissues of South American Fur Seals (Arctocephalus australis) from Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
Mercury (Hg) contamination of oceans is rapidly increasing, however Hg bioaccumulation in pinnipeds has been understudied. Here, we report for the first time Hg concentration in liver tissues of South American fur seals (Arctocephalus australis) in South and Southeast Brazil. Hg concentration was determined in twenty-five fur seals’ specimens found strande

2. Characterization of Commercially Available Turmeric for Use in Pharmaceutical Products and Food Supplements
We addressed some physicochemical and biological differences in commercial turmeric, acquired from both handling pharmacies and stores selling natural products for quality assessment. For this, it was determined the melting point, antioxidant activity by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH), antimicrobial activity via the agar disk-diffusion assay,

3. Efficacy of Disinfection of Rigid Endoscope by Ethyl Alcohol 70%
Abstract Introduction Currently, there is no safe, affordable, and ecologically-sustainable guideline that helps prevent contamination through endoscopy. We evaluated the safety of intermediate-level disinfection with 70% ethyl alcohol (w/v) based on biological-load recovery from rigid endoscopes after nasal endoscopy. Objective To demonstrate the efficacy

4. Bioterrorismo: capacitar para responder
RESUMO A utilização de agentes biológicos com a finalidade de aterrorizar inimigos surgiu há muitos séculos. Essa ação foi popularizada como bioterrorismo. Ataques bioterroristas são perigosos devido ao envolvimento de diversos fatores, como a forma silenciosa na qual pode ocorrer, o tipo e a forma de transmissão do agente biológico utilizado, depe

6. 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

7. Biomonitors to evaluate the toxic potential of urban solid waste landfill leachate
Resumo O aumento acentuado da produção de resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) e o consequente acúmulo de lixiviado em aterros potencializam o risco de contaminação do meio ambiente. Biomonitores são utilizados para avaliação da toxicidade dos poluentes sobre os organismos vivos. Neste estudo, foram avaliados o potencial poluidor do lixiviado de RSU de u

8. Inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense on corn yield and yield components in an integrated crop-livestock system
ABSTRACT. Inoculation of corn with diazotrophic bacteria reduces the need for nitrogen fertilization and mitigates environmental contamination risks due to the bacteria’s biological nitrogen-fixation capacity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of corn seed inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense under different nitrogen levels and p

9. Investigation of Some Parameters Affecting Methyl OrangeRemoval by Fusarium acuminatum
ABSTRACT Dye stuff released to the ecosystem from textile industries cause a serious contamination and become a major environmental problem over the last few decades. As biological decolorization of textile wastewater is an important issue, Fusarium . acuminatum was used to removal of a frequently used textile dye, methyl orange. Live pellet of Fusarium acum

11. Simultaneous biodegradation of phenol and cyanide present in coke-oven effluent using immobilized Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas stutzeri
ABSTRACT Discharge of coke-oven wastewater to the environment may cause severe contamination to it and also threaten the flora and fauna, including human beings. Hence before dumping it is necessary to treat this dangerous effluent in order to minimize the damage to the environment. Conventional technologies have inherent drawbacks however, biological treatm

12. Contamination and Soil Biological Properties in the Serra Pelada Mine - Amazonia, Brazil
ABSTRACT Discovered in 1980 and unleashed an utter gold rush of the modern era, Serra Pelada was the largest open-air mine in Brazil. About 80,000 gold prospectors worked there until 1984, when the gold pits were flooded. The environmental impact caused by mining inflicted irreversible damage to the ecosystem, with the formation of a large lake and piles of
