Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecology of Acidobacteria: Moving beyond Genes and Genomes.
Anna M. Kielak,Cristine Chaves Barreto,George A. Kowalchuk,Johannes A. van Veen,Eiko E. Kuramae +4 more
TL;DR: Genomic and metagenomic data predict a number of ecologically relevant capabilities for some acidobacteria, including the ability to: respond to soil macro-, micro nutrients and soil acidity, express multiple active transporters, degrade gellan gum and produce exopolysaccharide (EPS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production in Brazil and alternative biomass feedstocks
Jessica C. Bergmann,Daiva Domenech Tupinambá,Ohana Y. A. Costa,João R. M. Almeida,Cristine Chaves Barreto,Betania Ferraz Quirino,Betania Ferraz Quirino +6 more
TL;DR: Due to the size of the country's bioethanol and biodiesel industries, Brazil can already be considered one of the world powers in sustainable biofuel production, an strategic area of theworld's emerging bio-based economy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria and Archaea community structure in the rumen microbiome of goats (Capra hircus) from the semiarid region of Brazil.
I. S. Cunha,Cristine Chaves Barreto,Ohana Y. A. Costa,Marco Aurélio Delmondes Bomfim,Alinne Pereira de Castro,Ricardo Henrique Krüger,Betania Ferraz Quirino,Betania Ferraz Quirino +7 more
TL;DR: This is the first report of the characterization of the bacterial and archaeal communities present in the liquid and solid-associated fractions of the rumen from free ranging Moxotó breed goats using 16S rRNA gene libraries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and characterization of an extracellular chitinase from the entomopathogen Metarhizium anisopliae
Alexandre de Siqueira Pinto,Cristine Chaves Barreto,Marilene Henning Vainstein,Augusto Schrank,Cirano José Ulhoa +4 more
TL;DR: Chitinases are produced by Metarhizium anisopliae when it is grown in the presence of chitin and are purified by precipitation with ammonium sulphate, followed by anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acidobacteria from oligotrophic soil from the Cerrado can grow in a wide range of carbon source concentrations.
de Castro Vh,Schroeder Lf,Betania Ferraz Quirino,Betania Ferraz Quirino,Ricardo Henrique Krüger,Cristine Chaves Barreto +5 more
TL;DR: Five acidobacteria from Cerrado soil were isolated on VL-55 medium containing 0.05% of xylan as carbon source and exhibited growth on solid medium containing xylan, carboxymethyl cellulose, and colloidal chitin; however, growth was observed on solidmedium that did not contain these polysaccharides.
