1. Biosorption Potential of the Aspergillus sp. and Insights into Secondary Metabolism in the Presence of Copper and Lead
The fungus Aspergillus sp. was isolated from copper mining rejects and cultured in a liquid culture medium (potato dextrose, PD) enriched with CuSO4.5H2O and Pb(NO3)2 in different concentrations. By flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) it was observed that fungus absorbed 86% of both copper and lead, with initial concentrations of 100, 500 and 1000 mg

2. [PROVISIONAL] Genome sequence of Shewanella corallii strain A687 isolated from pufferfish (Sphoeroides spengleri)
Abstract We present here the genome sequence of Shewanella corallii strain A687 isolated from pufferfish Sphoeroides spengleri (Family Tetraodontidae). The assembly consists of 5,215,037 bp and contains 284 contigs, with a G+C content of 50.3%. The genus Shewanella comprises 67 recognized species. These bacteria are Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively a

3. Effects of Dietary Copper on Growth Performance, Slaughter Performance and Nutrient Content of Fecal in Growing Goslings from 28 to 70 Days of Age
ABSTRACT A dose-response experiment with four dietary copper concentrations (4.17, 8.17, 12.17 and 16.17 mg/kg) was conducted to estimate the growth performance, slaughter performance, nutrient content of fecal and liver copper concentrations of growing Goslings from 28 to 70 d of age. Two hundred healthy male Yangzhou geese with similar body weight were ran

4. Copper and Manganese Cations Alter Secondary Metabolism in the Fungus Penicillium brasilianum
The fungus Penicillium brasilianum LaBioMMi 136 was isolated as an endophyte from Melia azedarach and has shown to be a prominent producer of great diversity of secondary metabolites, although it does not express some biosynthetic routes to other natural compounds found in Penicillium genera. The present study aimed at the diversification of P. brasilianum s

6. Yeast CUP1 protects HeLa cells against copper-induced stress
As an essential trace element, copper can be toxic in mammalian cells when present in excess. Metallothioneins (MTs) are small, cysteine-rich proteins that avidly bind copper and thus play an important role in detoxification. YeastCUP1 is a member of the MT gene family. The aim of this study was to determine whether yeast CUP1 could bind copper effectively a

7. Analysis of the chemical components of hydatid fluid from Echinococcus granulosus
Introduction The aim of this study was to explore the environment of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) protoscolices and their relationship with their host. Methods Proteins from the hydatid-cyst fluid (HCF) from E. granulosus were identified by proteomics. An inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) was used to determine

8. The combined effect of cooper and low pH on antioxidant defenses and biochemical parameters in neotropical fish pacu, Piaractus mesopotamicus (Holmberg, 1887).
Copper sulfate is widely used in aquaculture. Exposure to this compound can be harmful to fish, resulting in oxidative metabolism alterations and gill tissue damage. Pacu, Piaractus mesopotamicus, (wt = 43.4 ± 3.35 g) were distributed in experimental tanks (n = 10; 180 l) and exposed for 48 h to control (without copper addition), 0.4Cu (0.4 mg l?1), 0CupH (

9. Mecanismos envolvidos com a sobrevivência de Xylella fastidiosa em condições de estresse e efeito de N-Acetil-L-Cisteína em seu biofilme / Mechanisms involved in Xylella fastidiosa survival under stress conditions and effect of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine on its biofilm
Xylella fastidiosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes several diseases in different plant species, including citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), whose economic damage is of millions of dollars annually. The symptoms development has been associated with the blockage of xylem vessels caused by bacterial biofilm

10. Effects of copper sources and levels on performance, Cu status, ruminal fermentation, metabolism and oxidation of lipids in cattle / Efeitos de diferentes fontes e níveis de cobre no desempenho, "status" de Cu, fermentação ruminal, metabolismo e oxidação de lipídios em bovinos
Copper is associated with lipid metabolism, becoming very important in reducing cholesterol, and with oxidative stability of meat, because it is part of some antioxidant enzymes. However, when in the ionic form, is considered a pro-oxidant element. The organic copper did not exhibit this effect and, besides, presents higher bioavailability than inorganic sou

12. Defesas antioxidantes e alterações bioquímicas no pacu, Piaractus mesopotamicus (Holmberg, 1887), em resposta à exposição ao cobre, à hipóxia e ao meio ácido, isolados ou associados
Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is widely used in aquaculture. Exposure to this compound can be harmful to fish, resulting in oxidative metabolism alterations and gill tissue damages, prejudicing the respiratory gasses exchange. Pacu, Piaractus mesopotamicus, (Wt = 43,4 3,35 g) were distributed in experimental tanks (n = 10; 180 L) and exposed for 48 h to control (wi
