Pigments from microorganisms have triggered great interest in the market, mostly by their "natural" appeal, their favorable production conditions, in addition to the potential new chemical structures or naturally overproducing strains. They have been used in: food, feed, dairy, textile, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The high rate of pigment production in microorganisms recovered from Antarctica in response to selective pressures such as: high UV radiation, low temperatures, and freezing ...

Lipases (triacylglycerol hydrolases, EC 3.1.1.3) are a class of enzymes with high industrial importance. An option for the production of this enzyme is through fungal growth via solid-state fermentation (SSF). Thus, this research presents a study of lipase production by Penicillium roqueforti ATCC 10110 through SSF using cocoa bran residues (Theobroma cacao) as a substrate. To achieve maximum lipase production, fermentation time (0 to 120 h) and palm oil (PO) percentage (0 to 50%) were optimized through ...

In the present work, an artificial neural network hybridized with a genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) has been applied to optimize Penicillium roqueforti ATCC 10110 lipase production in solid-state fermentation (SSF). For such a purpose, a feed-forward ANN with polynomial configuration 3-49-1 (i.e. 3 neurons in the input layer, 49 neurons in the hidden layer and 1 neuron in the output layer) was used to computationally model the experiment and a GA was used to optimize lipase production through the ANN model. ...

A procedure using ICP OES for sample preparation for the determination of copper, iron and manganese in cashew nuts was developed. Constrained simplex-centroid design was applied in the optimization of the digestion in microwave oven procedure, and the results evaluated from topological maps of the Kohonen network. The best proportion evaluated for the digestion of the sample with HNO3, H2O2 and H2O was 10:45:45 (%). With optimized conditions, the detection limits were 0.63, 4.3 and 0.37 mg kg−1, and ...

Solid state fermentation (SSF) simulates the natural conditions fungal growth, where the amount of water in the reaction medium must be restricted, thus limiting the use of liquid substrate. An analytical strategy to deal with this limitation is the design of blending with constraints. Thus, the objective of the work was to optimize two constrained waste mixtures for the production of lipase by Penicillium roqueforti ATCC 10110 under SSF, using different substrates that combine solid and liquid waste. ...

Brazil is one of the three largest producers of fruits in the world, and among those fruit trees, the cashew tree stands out due to the high nutritional and commercial value of its products. During its fruit processing, there are losses in some compounds and few studies address this issue. Over the last decade the conventional system of food production has been substituted for the organic cultivation system, which is a promising alternative source of income given the global demand for healthy food. ...

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Is the increase in blood pressure observed in rats fed a low protein diet due to overactivation of sympathetic and renin angiontensin systems? What is the main finding and its importance? The data show an increase in the expression of angiotensin II type 1 receptors and an incrased sympathetic activity in this experimental model, suggesting that both systems are contributing to the high blood pressure observed in these animals.

Abstract Background L. braziliensis causes cutaneous (CL) and mucosal (ML) leishmaniasis. Wound healing neutrophil (PMN) and macrophage responses made following the bite of the vector sand fly contribute to disease progression in mice. To look at the interplay between PMN and macrophages in disease progression in humans we asked whether polymorphisms at genes that regulate their infiltration or function are associated with different clinical phenotypes. Specifically, CXCR1 (IL8RA) and CXCR2 (IL8RB) are ...
