The use of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is an interesting approach to optimize the production of both first- and second-generation ethanol. It may be applied on Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to enhance the fermentation pathway and on the lignocellulosic biomass to increase sugar release. HHP has a wide effect on many biological processes, such as growth, division and cellular viability. Actually, conformation, stability, polymerization and depolymerization of proteins are affected by HHP as well as lipid packaging. Moreover, transcriptional profile analysis indicates an activation of the general stress response. In yeast, HHP higher than 100¬†MPa leads to significant morphological and physiological alteration, and loss of cellular viability occurs over 200¬†MPa. A yield rate increase in ethanol production occurs at pressures of 10,Äì50¬†MPa, but over 87¬†MPa alcoholic fermentation is interrupted.
This book offers a broad understanding of bioethanol production from sugarcane, although a few other substrates, except corn, will also be mentioned. The 10 chapters are grouped in five sections. The Fuel Ethanol Production from Sugarcane in Brazil section consists of two chapters dealing with the first-generation ethanol Brazilian industrial process. The Strategies for Sugarcane Bagasse Pretreatment section deals with emerging physicochemical methods for biomass pretreatment, and the non-conventional biomass source for lignocellulosic ethanol production addresses the potential of weed biomass as alternative feedstock. In the Recent Approaches for Increasing Fermentation Efficiency of Lignoc...
O EBBio 2023 se apresenta como um fórum privilegiado para discussões, debates e encaminhamentos relacionados aos vários enfoques da questão de Biossegurança, contextualizando-os nos âmbitos estadual, regional e nacional. Também assume a missão de auxiliar na formação de recursos humanos capazes de responder aos desafios do uso das tecnologias, buscando o desenvolvimento sustentável dentro de uma concepção técnica científica, econômica, social e ambiental. O EBBio 2023 é uma iniciativa única no âmbito nacional e uma das poucas oportunidades para a discussão técnico científica de tema tão relevante para o desenvolvimento sustentável de nosso país, em um debate de nível qualificado, sem abordagens ideológicas. Portanto, em um país em que são findáveis eventos desta natureza, a realização do 9º Encontro Bienal de Biossegurança é mais um passo para a consolidação da Biotecnologia no Brasil.
A Acta Médica dos formandos da Escola de Medicina da PUCRS simboliza o encerramento do ciclo acadêmico. Nesse sentido, a fim de se contemplar um assunto que é discutido desde o primeiro dia da faculdade, mas que, paradoxalmente, não é discutido o suficiente, a ATM 2021 optou por abordar um tema de extrema importância: a saúde das populações vulneráveis. Para atuar em uma área como a medicina, em que a relação médico-paciente é a chave fundamental para um bom desfecho, é imprescindível o conhecimento das particularidades de cada pessoa e a adoção de estratégias customizadas. Dessa forma, o presente livro irá discorrer sobre algumas das várias populações negligenciadas, podendo servir como uma espécie de guia para um aperfeiçoamento do atendimento dessa complexa sociedade.
The focus of this text is on the human immunology required by students to understand and treat common immunological diseases - animal research is included only where essential for an understanding of the subject.
A renowned self-help guru distills the 17 factors that constitute his famous Law of Success philosophy. These key principles define the ethics and actions that empower individuals to assume leadership.
Every cell has developed mechanisms to respond to changes in its environment and to adapt its growth and metabolism to unfavorable conditions. The unicellular eukaryote yeast has long proven as a particularly useful model system for the analysis of cellular stress responses, and the completion of the yeast genome sequence has only added to its power This volume comprehensively reviews both the basic features of the yeast genral stress response and the specific adapations to different stress types (nutrient depletion, osmotic and heat shock as well as salt and oxidative stress). It includes the latest findings in the field and discusses the implications for the analysis of stress response mechanisms in higher eukaryotes as well.
This important volume will be crucial not only to microbiologists researching high pressure but also to those interested in microbial stress responses, microbial physiology, and extreme environments.
The discussion of ideas, methods, scientific results, empirical practices and perspectives on the restoration of high diversity tropical and subtropical forest formations is the objective of this book; however, principles here proposed may be used in other less complex forest formations. Special attention is given to the role of the ecological processes on the restoration of functional forest communities, once the composition and structure of these natural or even restored communities change in space and time.
Finally, a stand-alone, all-inclusive textbook on yeast biology. Based on the feedback resulting from his highly successful monograph, Horst Feldmann has totally rewritten he contents to produce a comprehensive, student-friendly textbook on the topic. The scope has been widened, with almost double the content so as to include all aspects of yeast biology, from genetics via cell biology right up to biotechnology applications. The cell and molecular biology sections have been vastly expanded, while information on other yeast species has been added, with contributions from additional authors. Naturally, the illustrations are in full color throughout, and the book is backed by a complimentary website. The resulting textbook caters to the needs of an increasing number of students in biomedical research, cell and molecular biology, microbiology and biotechnology who end up using yeast as an important tool or model organism.
