Bioprospecting Amazonian yeasts for ethanol and xylitol production from sugarcane bagasse hydrolysateNARA Subscribed
The untapped microbial diversity of the Amazon region represents a strategic frontier for biotechnological applications. This study screened, identified, and evaluated the potential of yeasts isolated from Amazonian environments to bioconvert sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate into ethanol and xylitol. The lignocellulosic hydrolysate was obtained by thermochemical treatment using H 2 SO 4 (0.78% v/v) at 121 °C for 68 min, with a 20...
In southeastern Brazil, capybaras ( Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris ) are main hosts of the ticks Amblyomma dubitatum and Amblyomma sculptum ; the latter has great medical importance for being the main vector of Rickettsia rickettsii , the agent of Brazilian spotted fever (BSF). This study aimed to quantify ticks in areas invaded and not invaded by exotic plants ( Hedychium coronarium , Cenchrus purpureus or Megathyrsus maximus ) wi...
Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types. Location Amazonia. Taxon A...
Camera trap surveys of A tlantic F orest mammals: A data set for analyses considering imperfect detection (2004–2020)NARA Subscribed
Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land‐cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity...
Fish viscera can be an important source of protein and energy for aquafeed, and its use contributes to circular aquaculture. The aim of this study was to produce acid and fermented silage from fish viscera to determine their nutritional value and the apparent digestibility coefficient of nutrients and energy for juvenile tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). An acid silage and three fermented silages with different sources of carbo...
