Socioeconomic and environmental sustainability: Environmental aspects.
The Laboratory of Biomarkers of Aquatic Contamination (LABCA) is located at the Department of Chemistry and Environmental Sciences of IBILCE – UNESP, under the coordination of Prof. Dr. Eduardo Alves de Almeida. In LABCA are studied the effects of different water contaminants such as sugarcane pesticides, metals, endocrine disrupters, oil derivatives, etc., on biochemical systems of different aquatic animal models. Our studies basically involve exposure of the animals in controlled conditions to these contaminants, alone or in mixtures, and after variated exposure periods we examine alterations in a series of biochemical parameters (biomarkers) in tissues of the exposed animals, in order to observe the animal’s response to the tested contaminants. In general, our studies includes the evaluation of phase I and II biotransformation enzymes, oxidative stress parameters (antioxidant enzymes, lipid peroxidation, oxidative DNA damage, GSH/GSSG levels), metallothionein levels, esterase inhibition, micronucleous analysis, and comet assays. The LABCA is divided into two laboratories, one being for the development of experiments with aquatic animals, and the other for biochemical / molecular analises. The experimental laboratory has several aquariums where the animals are exposed to contaminants, and eight 500 L tanks, where we kept stocks of aquatic species for the experiments. The animal models employed in our studies are fish (tilapia, catfish, zebrafish, tetrafish, tuvira), amphibian tadpoles, bivalve molluscs, turtles, and sometimes, some species of crustaceans. The analytical laboratory has a lot of equipments such as freezer-80oC, centrifuges, spectrophotometers, spectrofluorometer, electrophoresis systems, microscopes and HPLC systems, coupled to UV-Vis, fluorescence and electrochemical detectors, and also accessories such as pH meters, agitators, icemaker, among others.

The projects developed in this line include prospecting for enzymes of thermophilic fungi as cellulases, xylanases, pectinases and Ligninases, for application in saccharification of lignocellulosic materials aimed at the production of cellulosic ethanol, and transesterifying lipases for biodiesel production. Are also studied pentose assimilating yeasts targeting the utilization of these sugars derived from hydrolysis of hemicellulose.
Socioeconomic and environmental sustainability.
The projects developed in this line include prospecting of fungi and bacteria capable of degrading herbicides commonly applied in sugar cane crops, the identification of metabolites generated in the biodegradation and the levels of toxicity these generate compounds.

Biorefinery, biofuels and engines.
Development of methods to characterize solid impurities for raw sugar manufacturing processes. The presence of solid impurities interferes in the juice quality, increasing the use of chemicals to establish process control, as example the clarification. Then, the main goal is to apply several analytical strategies to detect impurities, as well, the development of models for the sugar or ethanol mills to avoid losses, increase the raw material extraction leading high quality to sugar and ethanol products.

Biorefinery, biofuels and engines: genomics and biotechnology of yeasts
We focus on key yeast species to understand their adaptation to stresses inherent to the sugar cane fermentation process. In particular, we conduct long-term adaptation experiments with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces japonicus to develop their adaptation to high ethanol pressures. Genomics and Bioinformatics are key approaches to uncover the genetics of the adaptation phenomena. Biotechnology is used to refine our understanding of the evolutionary process and to engineer key traits relevant to yeast performance in biofuel (bioethanol) production.
