Analysis of the latex from Manihot glaziovii showed the presence of various enzymatic and inhibitory activities. The latex also presented an inhibitory effect on the development of cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus) in an artificial seed system and on the development, in an in vitro assay, of phytopathogenic fungi Colletotrichum gloesporioides, Fusarium solani and Macrophomina phaseolina. These results suggest the presence of substances, some of them of protein nature, involved in plant defense mechanisms in this exudation product. |

O objetivo do experimento foi determinar algumas alterações bioquímicas de sementes de duas cultivares de trigo (BRS 177 e BRS 179) sob influência de diferentes níveis de sal (zero, 15, 30, 45 e 60mM NaCl) no processo de germinação. O ensaio foi realizado para avaliar alterações na atividade da a-amilase e nos teores de amido, açúcares redutores, carboidratos solúveis totais e proteínas causadas pelo estresse salino. A atividade da a-amilase e os teores carboidratos solúveis totais, açúcares redutores e proteínas são reduzidos, porém o conteúdo de amido aumenta com o incremento da salinidade, em ambas cultivares de trigo. Em todas as concentrações de NaCl, os componentes químicos nas sementes da cultivar BRS 179 são maiores do que os da cv. BRS 177,... |

Com o objetivo de comparar as estimativas de parâmetros genéticos obtidas pelos métodos de máxima verossimilhança restrita (REML) e <FONT FACE=Symbol>Â</FONT>, foram realizadas análises uni-características sob modelo animal, para os quais foi utilizado um conjunto de dados da raça Nelore. Os modelos estatísticos incluíram os efeitos fixos de grupo de contemporâneos (fazenda, ano de nascimento, sexo e grupos de manejo à desmama e ao sobreano) e idade do animal (covariável linear), e como aleatórios foram considerados os efeitos genético aditivo direto e residual. As estimativas dos coeficientes de herdabilidade foram 0,36 e 0,39 para peso aos 18 meses (PESSOB); 0,27 e 0,29 para ganho de peso da desmama aos 18 meses (GP345); 0,22 e 0,21 para... |

The enzymatic study and transport of N in the xylem sap was carried out with a view to observing the influence of different nitrate levels and growth stages of the plant in chemically treated mutants of Lupinus albus. Several stresses induce a reduction in plant growth, resulting in the accumulation of free amino acids, amides or ureides, not only in the shoot, but also in the roots and nodules. Although enzyme activity is decisive in avoiding products that inhibit nitrogenase by ammonium, little is known about the mechanism by which the xylem carries these products. However, this process may be the key to the function of avoiding the accumulation of amino acids in the cells of infected nodules. The behaviour of the enzymes nitrate reductase (NR),... |

In this investigation, a sugarcane agroecosystem at a coastal tableland, in the northeast of Brazil, was screened to obtain bacteria strains able to synthesize poly-<FONT FACE="Symbol">b</font>-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA), using sucrose as the main carbon source. The potential to synthesize PHA was tested qualitatively by Sudan Black staining of colonies growing in different carbon sources: sucrose, glucose, fructose, propionate and cellulose. In a typical sugarcane crop management system, the plantation is burned before harvesting and vinasse, a byproduct of alcohol production, is used in a fertirrigation system causing, probably, selective pressures on the microbiota of natural environments. Eightytwo bacteria strains, belonging to 16 different... |

A strain of Aspergillus tamarii, a filamentous fungus isolated from soil, was able to produce both <FONT FACE="Symbol">a</FONT>-amylase and glucoamylase activities in mineral media supplemented with 1% (w/v) starch or maltose as the carbon source. Static cultivation led to significantly higher yields than those obtained using shaking culture. The production of amylases was tolerant to a wide range of initial culture pH values (from 4 to 10) and temperature (from 25 to 42oC). Two amylases, one <FONT FACE="Symbol">a</FONT>-amylase and one glucoamylase, were separated by ion exchange chromatography. Both partially purified enzymes had optimal activities at pH values between 4.5 and 6.0 and were stable under acid conditions (pH... |

<FONT FACE="Symbol">b</font>-Galactosidase or <FONT FACE="Symbol">b</font>-D-galactoside-galactohydrolase (EC. 3.2.1.23) is an important enzyme industrially used for the hydrolysis of lactose from milk and milk whey for several applications. Lately, the importance of this enzyme was enhanced by its galactosyltransferase activity, which is responsible for the synthesis of transgalactosylated oligosaccharides (TOS) that act as functional foods, with several beneficial effects on consumers. Penicillium simplicissimum, a strain isolated from soil, when grown in semi-solid medium showed good productivity of <FONT FACE="Symbol">b</font>-galactosidase with galactosyltransferase activity. The optimum pH for hydrolysis was in the... |

Amostras de terra de áreas desmatadas há 4, 10 e 15 anos e utilizadas como pastagem e uma floresta nativa na região de Paragominas-PA, foram analisadas quanto à constituição isotópica e teor de carbono (C) e nitrogênio (N) com o objetivo de quantificar os estoques de C e N e as alterações devidas a mudanças do uso da terra. O conteúdo de C e N aumentaram ao longo do tempo de uso do solo como pastagem. Após 4 e 15 anos de cultivo o conteúdo de C aumentou 0,28 e 0,86 kg.m-2 na camada superficial 0-30 cm do solo; a pastagem de 10 anos ficou estável (diminuição de 0,02 kg.m-2) em relação à mata natural para a camada 0-30 cm, mas diminuiu de 0,15 na camada 0-10 cm. Na camada superficial 0-30 cm, a matéria orgânica da área sob mata natural é composta por 2,6... |

Host resistance to Trypanosoma cruzi infection is dependent on both natural and acquired immune responses. During the early acute phase of infection in mice, natural killer (NK) cell-derived IFN-<FONT FACE="Symbol">g</font> is involved in controlling intracellular parasite replication, mainly through the induction of nitric oxide biosynthesis by activated macrophages. We have shown that IL-12, a powerful inducer of IFN-<FONT FACE="Symbol">g</font> production by NK cells, is synthesized soon after trypomastigote-macrophage interaction. The role of IL-12 in the control of T. cruzi infection in vivo was determined by treating infected mice with anti-IL-12 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and analyzing both parasitemia and mortality during the... |

An apparently paradoxical role for IFN-<FONT FACE="Symbol">g</font> in human Chagas' disease was observed when studying the pattern of cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from two groups of chagasic patients after specific stimulation with Trypanosoma cruzi-derived antigens. The groups studied were 1) patients treated with benznidazole during the acute phase of Trypanosoma cruzi infection and 2) chronically infected untreated patients. In the treated group, higher levels of IFN-<FONT FACE="Symbol">g</font> were produced by PBMC from individuals cured after treatment when compared to non-cured patients. In contrast, in the chronically infected group (not treated) higher levels of IFN-<FONT... |

The role of different cytokines in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferative response and in in vitro granuloma formation was evaluated in a cross-sectional study with patients with the different clinical forms and phases of Schistosoma mansoni infection, as well as a group of individuals "naturally" resistant to infection named normal endemic (NE). The blockage of IL-4 and IL-5 using anti-IL-4 and anti-IL-5 antibodies significantly reduced the PBMC proliferative response to soluble egg (SEA) and adult worm (SWAP) antigens in acute (ACT), chronic intestinal (INT) and hepatosplenic (HS) patients. Similar results were obtained in the in vitro granuloma formation. Blockage of IL-10 had no significant effect on either assay using PBMC from ACT... |
