Bioprospecting is underway to replace nitrogen fertilizers with bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) and convert it into a form that the plant is capable of assimilating, such as Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus, an obligate endophytic bacterium and the only species of its kind capable of fixing nitrogen. This bacterium is also endowed with other characteristics, such as the biosynthesis of levan, an important biomolecule for the scientific community, as it can be used in the pharmaceutical industry as a hypocholesterolemic, anticarcinogenic, prebiotic and modified drug release agent.…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Bioprospecting is underway to replace nitrogen fertilizers with bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) and convert it into a form that the plant is capable of assimilating, such as Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus, an obligate endophytic bacterium and the only species of its kind capable of fixing nitrogen. This bacterium is also endowed with other characteristics, such as the biosynthesis of levan, an important biomolecule for the scientific community, as it can be used in the pharmaceutical industry as a hypocholesterolemic, anticarcinogenic, prebiotic and modified drug release agent. The aim of this research was to isolate, morphologically characterize and select levain-producing strains from endophytic bacteria with characteristics similar to G. diazotrophicus associated with two varieties of sugarcane grown in the São José do Rio Preto region (SP).
Autorenporträt
Letícia Martins Oliveira, graduated in Pharmacy in 2014. During her undergraduate studies, she carried out a scientific initiation project under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Fernanda Maria P. G. Ernandes, the results of which led to this publication. The research was carried out in the laboratories of the Universidade Paulista UNIP, and was supported by a Santander scholarship.
