color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;fotossíntese&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt; e &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;fermentação&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;A produção fermentativa, tema abordado na pesquisa, objetivou o desenvolvimento de biorreatores anaeróbicos onde o hidrogênio é obtido a partir da matéria orgânica presente nas águas residuárias.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Numa primeira etapa é obtido o hidrogênio (etapa acidogênica, com formação de ácidos orgânicos e álcoois)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;“O nosso projeto propõe que, acoplado à estação de tratamento do esgoto doméstico, possa estar um reator acidogênico para produção do hidrogênio, um combustível limpo que gera, nas células, a água como único produto”, disse Zaiat. Entre as formas de obtenção de hidrogênio estão a queima de combustível fóssil, eletrólise e a produção biológica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Segundo o pesquisador, além de ser um combustível limpo, outra vantagem é que o hidrogênio é quase três vezes mais energético do que os hidrocarbonetos. “Essa conta é feita pela termodinâmica. O calor de combustão do hidrogênio é de 122 quilojoules por grama (kJ/g), cerca de 2,75 vezes maior do que o dos hidrocarbonetos”, calculou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;A cerimônia de premiação ocorreu no dia 20 de outubro, em Brasília, quando foram entregues troféu e US$ 10 mil aos autores do trabalho vencedor, intitulado Producción de biohidrógeno a partir de aguas residuales para ser utilizado como fuente alternativa de energia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Fonte: Thiago Romero /&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a style=&quot;color: rgb(156, 152, 80);&quot; href=&quot;httphttp://www.agencia.fapesp.br/materia/9508/especiais/hidrogenio-biologico.htm&quot;&gt;Agência FAPESP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Mais referências aqui:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Tamagnini, P., Leitão, E. e Oliveira, P.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://dequim.ist.utl.pt/bbio/75/pdf/biohidrogenio.pdf&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(156, 152, 80);&quot;&gt;Biohidrogénio: produção de H2 utilizando cianobactérias&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;.

Estas bactérias desenvolveriam uma relação simbiótica de cooperação com o hospedeiro, onde disponibilizam os nutrientes dos alimentos que o hospedeiro não poderia digerir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Porém, pesquisadores descobriram que além de disponibilizar nutrientes na luz do intestino, certas bactérias fazem mais: produzem sinais químicos que regulariam funções comporais, como o peristaltismo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;O grupo de pesquisadores já tinha demonstrado anteriormente que um receptor denominado Gpr41 tem como ligante ácidos graxos de cadeia curta. A partir desta descoberta, eles se concentraram em duas espécies de bactérias que digerem a fibra alimentar presente nos alimentos neste tipo de ácido graxo. As bactérias utilizadas no estudo foram &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;, uma bactéria sacarolítica, e a arqueobactéria metanogênica &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Methanobrevibacter smithii&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Utilizando camundongos com deleção do gene da proteína Gpr41 e camundongos germ-free, a comunicação com as bactérias foi impedida e em ambos os casos os camundongos ganharam menos peso do que os normais, mesmo comendo a mesma quantidade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Além disso, os cientistas descobriram que nos camundongos nocauteados a comida passou pelos intestinos mais rapidamente, o que leva a crer que o receptor Gpr41 está envolvido no controle dos movimentos peristálticos, o que explicaria o menor peso dos camundongos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Esta pesquisa abre portas para novos métodos farmacêuticos de controle de peso, já que adimistrando um inibidor de Gpr41 o peristaltismo diminui e a absorção de fontes energéticas abaixa, mas não cessa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Samuel, S.

Formulado em 1958 por&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nature.com/nature/focus/crick/pdf/crick227.pdf&quot;&gt;Francis Crick&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;levando em consideração o conhecimento acumulado até então, o Dogma persiste até hoje, com algumas modificações decorrentes de novas descobertas, como a da transcriptase reversa em 1970, que vai contra o fluxo unidirecional proposto inicialmente (DNA -&gt; RNA -&gt; PTN), já que a enzima catalisa a conversão de RNA para DNA. Outras enzimas, como as RNA polimerases RNA-dependentes, também complicaram o estabelecimento do sentido do fluxo da informação como unidirecional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Mesmo tendo sido proposto a décadas, o mecanismo de como a informação era transmitida permaceu obscura e a explicação do mesmo de difícil compreensão.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Com o objetivo de reverter este quadro, o Departamento de Química da Universidade de Standford produziu um vídeo na década de 1970, marcadamente influenciado pela áurea de &quot;amor e liberdade&quot; da época. Com direção de Robert Alan Weiss e narração de&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1980/&quot;&gt;Paul Berg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;ganhador do Prêmio Nobel de Química de 1980, o filme é imperdível.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Aproveite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;349&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/u9dhO0iCLww&amp;amp;hl=pt-br&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/u9dhO0iCLww&amp;amp;hl=pt-br&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;349&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Retirado do&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogsci.com/science/how-are-proteins-made&quot;&gt;BlogSci&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crick, F. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nature.com/nature/focus/crick/pdf/crick227.pdf&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Central Dogma of Molecular Biology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Trata-se do fungo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Cladosporium sphaerospermum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;, um fungo melanizado com distribuição mundial, comumente isolado do ar, solo, tecidos, como também material de construção, como paredes pintadas (Vide figura).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;A pergunta que se faz imediatamente é: Como esse fungo sobreviveu à radiação do interior deste reator? E qual seria sua fonte de energia, uma vez que o reator estava isolado do resto do mundo por um sarcófago de ferragens e cimento?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Para tentar resolver estas questões, a equipe de pesquisadores do&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aecom.yu.edu/&quot;&gt;Albert Einstein College of Medicine&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;(New York), começaram a analisar os efeitos da radiação sobre o crescimento deste fungo e de outros, tomando a fotossíntese como modelo: Se plantas podem usar um pigmento verde, a clorofila, para absorver a energia do Sol e produzir energia química metabolizável, estes fungos poderiam de alguma forma absorver a energia radioativa com algum pigmento, como por exemplo a melanina, e produzir energia metabolizável também, em uma espécie de &quot;radiossíntese&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;De acordo com o artigo publicado pelos pesquisadores na revista&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0000457&quot;&gt;PLoS One&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;, no qual três espécies de fungos, incluindo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;C. sphaerospermum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;, foram irradiados com doses similares às presentes no interior do reator (cerca de 500 vezes maiores do que a normalmente presente na Terra), ocorreu um aumento de 4 vezes na capacidade da melanina dos fungos de reduzir NADH em relação aos fungos não irradiados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Além disso, a análise da melanina dos fungos crescidos em diferentes substratos revelou uma complexidade química, dependente da composição da melanina no substrato de crescimento e sua interação com a radiação ionizante.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;O fungos melanizados &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Wangiella dermatitidis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt; e &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Cryptococcus neoformans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;, com a exposição maior a radiação, cresceram significantemente mais rápido, produzindo uma maior massa seca com uma maior absorção de acetato marcado quando comparados com os mutantes albinos (sem pigmento). Em adição, a radiação aumentou a velocidade de crescimento das células de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;C. sphaerospermum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt; sob condição de limitação nutricional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Porém estes resultados somente indicam que fungos irradiados apresentam uma maior crescimento, não demonstrando entretando, porquê isso acontece. Mais informações metabólicas e bioquímicas são necessárias antes de se conluir que a &quot;radiossíntese&quot; realmente está atuando nestes organismos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;Porém, se ficar demonstrado que realmente, a radiação ionizante pode ser uma fonte de energia para reações metabólicas mantedoras da vida, esta nova abordagem terá diversas aplicações, além de fortalecer a esperança de existir vida fora da Terra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dadachova E, Bryan RA, Huang X, Moadel T, Schweitzer AD, et al. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;amp;source=web&amp;amp;ct=res&amp;amp;cd=1&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.plosone.org%2Fdoi%2Fpone.0000457&amp;amp;ei=-hQKSbStDp6KuQWE2byFAg&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNG7mig5Xg5ywAyDU7ImISilVAwT9w&amp;amp;sig2=JhZkEp_Wftykgb0OIi9X7A&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Ionizing Radiation Changes the Electronic Properties of Melanin and Enhances the Growth of Melanized Fungi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.
