Every 12 hours data were collected from colonies diameters and used for the analyses of Mycelial Growth Index (MGI) and Area Under the Curve of Mycelial Growth (AUCMG). The analyses were performed by a completely randomized design with two controls, a negative one without Trichoderma sp. and one with a commercial strain of Trichoderma harzianum. Spore solution for evaluation of conidia production were made by adding 10 mL of distilled water and scratching the surface of the colonies. For S. cepivorum, all Trichoderma spp. strains reduced both indexes tested. However, while for MGI S. sclerotiorum also presented some reduction on the growth rate, the total area of this fungus was not affected. Sclerotium rolfsii strains of Trichoderma sp. from Lages and Curitibanos showed an effect on the reduction of AUCMG of this fungus, although none of the Trichoderma affected the growth rate of this phytopathogen. On the presence of S. sclerotiorum and S. cepivorum, none of the Trichoderma spp. showed any difference on conidia production when compared among themselves, nonetheless we did notice that on the presence of S. cepivorum, the strain from Rio do Sul retained its reproductive ability compared to control. Results obtained from this research can demonstrate the importance of biocontrol agents against different plant pathogens since it might have a specific antagonist-pathogen relation.","PeriodicalId":7166,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum.

Permeabilization process was used for transforming the microorganisms cells into biocatalysts with an enhanced enzyme activity. The potential application of this enzyme technology in industrial process depends mainly on the enzyme activity. Beta-galactosidase enzyme that hydrolyzes lactose, for instance, is largely dependent on the reaction time and its stability under different physical conditions, such as pH, temperature and enzyme concentration. The objective of this study was to optimize the cellular permeabilization process of Kluyveromyces marxianus CCT 3172 and Saccharomyces fragilis CCT 7586 cultured in cheese whey for lactose hydrolysis. Box-Behnken design was carried out for cell permeabilization with three independent variables, ethanol concentration, permeabilization time and temperature. The best permeability conditions for K. marxianus CCT 3172 were 27% (v v-1) ethanol, 3 min at 20ºC, with specific enzymatic activity of 0.98 U mg-1. For S. fragilis CCT 7586, a specific enzymatic activity of 1.31 U mg-1 was achieved using 45% (v v-1) of ethanol, 17 min. of reaction under 17ºC. Thus, it was concluded that cellular permeabilization with ethanol is an efficient process to determine beta-galactosidase activity.","PeriodicalId":7166,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum.

Chitosan had a relatively large molecular size, which reduced the effectivity of its distribution towards the tissues. Gamma Co-60 irradiation technique was presumably applicable to solve the issue. The antioxidant activity of chitosan could also be optimized by the addition of vitamin E. This study aimed to analyze the antioxidant activity of the combination of Gamma Co-60 irradiated chitosan and vitamin E in lead acetate-induced rats. Twenty-four rats, which were distributed in six groups, were treated using the combination of gamma Co-60 irradiated chitosan at a dose of 150 kGy and vitamin E 1000 IU. All groups, except for the naïve group, were induced with lead acetate. The positive control group was induced with only lead acetate, while treatment group 1 had an additional treatment of irradiated chitosan. The treatment groups 2-4 were treated using the combination of irradiated chitosan and vitamin E in increasing doses respectively for forty days. Blood serum was collected for measurement of Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and Malondialdehyde (MDA). The results showed that the provided treatment increased the enzymatic activity of SOD, CAT, and GPx, and reduced the MDA level in lead acetate-induced rats. However, as the vitamin E dosage was increased, it posed several side effects. It was concluded that the combination Gamma Co-60 irradiated chitosan and vitamin E increased the activity of various endogenous antioxidant enzymes and decreased lipid peroxidation, dependent on the amount of vitamin E.","PeriodicalId":7166,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum.

In order to reduce environmental impacts, genetic characterization of populations allows to infer about their real situation. Thus, the present study aimed to perform an analysis of the genetic diversity of populations of Syagrus cearensis using ISSR markers. Populations AQU (Aquicultura), MTB (Mata do Bebo) and MOD (Mata Olho d´água) were sampled, totaling 53 individuals. ISSR markers generated a total of 61 loci. The AQU population had the highest polymorphism index (71%), followed by MTB (57%) and MOD (53%). AQU showed the highest index of genetic diversity, compared to the MTB and MOD populations. There was a high and significant genetic differentiation between populations. Bayesian analysis identified the existence of two groups (K = 2). The genetic bottleneck test was significant for the AQU and MOD populations, according to the SMM model. Thus, the populations of genetic diversity index close to the averages found for tropical species with a similar life history. The presence of a genetic bottleneck was detected in populations. The AQU population presented low sharing of genotypes with the others and should be prioritized in conservation activities.","PeriodicalId":7166,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum.

Soil affected by mining tailings was severely altered with negative impacts for agriculture. We tested whether diluting mining tailings with organic soil would eliminate or at least attenuate the ecotoxic effects on plant development and performance. We cultivated radish, Raphanus sativus, in substrates containing different proportions of mining tailings and organic soil: pure tailings (T100%); 2) tailings75% + soil25% (T75%); 3) tailings50% + soil50% (T50%); 4) tailings25% + soil75% (T25%), and 5) pure organic soil (Soil100%, control). There were large differences in soil quality parameters between the 100% tailings treatment (T100%) and the control (Soil100%), as well as for some parameters in the most diluted treatment - T25% (Ca2+, Fe, Mn) in relation to the control treatment. Although dilution of the tailings soil improved radish development, there was lower radish productivity (leaf area, total biomass, and root/tuber biomass) than for pure soil (control). There were also significantly higher amounts of bioaccumulated metals in radish tubers grown with tailings, even when grown in T25% for Fe content and in T75% for Mn content. These results present a worrisome scenario for human communities in the region of the Doce river, as human consumption of crops produced in soil contaminated with tailings is not recommended due to potential toxicological effects from high metal concentrations.","PeriodicalId":7166,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum.

The mRNA levels of CCNA2 of cells exposed to β-glucan was upregulated and the exposure to Dox decreased the expression, while the combination led to an upregulation. Modulation of mRNA levels of CASP9 suggest that βG could inhibit promotion and progression steps of carcinogenesis, eliminating neoplastic cells. The upregulation of CCNA2 gene in combined treatment could be occurred due to ability of βG in restoring the cell cycle distribution pattern after treatment with Dox. The upregulation of SOD1 suggests that βG can enhance the intracellular antioxidant defense, reducing the levels of superoxide dismutase induced by Dox. This response could reduce oxidative damage and attenuate tissue damage during chemotherapeutic treatment. Our data suggest that the drug combination may be less effective in killing tumor cells than the treatment with Dox alone.

The parameters assessed were specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, and finally, the percentage of iron ions chelating was calculated. The results demonstrated that this method was accurate, simple, specific, selective, precise, and reproducible, and was successfully validated for the determination of iron ions chelating. The percentage of iron ions chelating, promoted by the standard chelator EDTA, was 45% and 47% for Fe2+ and Fe3+, respectively.
