Functional Properties of Brosimum alicastrum Seed Flour Gels: Impact of Temperature, Concentration, and Additives on Rheology, Viscoelasticity, and Texture

Ramón seed flour (RSF), obtained from the drought- and hurricane-resistant Brosimum alicastrum, is a promising sustainable ingredient with high productivity and a favorable nutritional profile, but its functional properties remain poorly understood. This study characterized the r...

Are hyaluronic acid synthases widely encoded in fungi?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a biologically versatile polysaccharide synthesized by vertebrates and several microbial pathogens. To date, Cryptococcus neoformans CPS1p is the only reported bona fide hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) in fungi, which is functionally related to bacterial HA...

Soil Yeasts from Sugarcane Agroecosystems: Nutrient Cycling and Biocontrol Potential in Agricultural Systems

Soil yeasts represent a significant component of the agricultural microbiota and possess high ecological and biotechnological potential in production systems such as those for sugarcane. This review analyses the importance of these microorganisms in fundamental processes related...
