Item The known unknowns: understanding slow-growing bacteria and their plant interaction through reverse ecology approaches(Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 2023-07-18) Gonçalves, Osiel Silva; Santana, Mateus Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5810415406152941The cultivation of bacteria that exhibit slow growth rates has posed a longstanding challenge in microbiology, resulting in a significant number of unculturable bacterial species. This phenomenon, known as the "great plate count anomaly", represents one of the oldest unresolved topics in the field. Recent advancements in cultivation techniques have shown promise in overcoming this challenge. In addition, the study of slow-growing bacteria and their interactions with plants has gained significant attention due to their ecological importance and potential applications in agriculture. Genomics techniques have provided valuable insights into the genetic characteristics underlying microbe-plant interactions. In this context, by examining the in-cultivation techniques, genomics, and computational modeling, we seek to shed light on the slow-growing bacteria and uncover their contributions to ecosystem functioning and plant interaction. Our initial understanding was obtained through the study of 92 slow-growing bacteria isolated from the Brazilian Cerrado soil during a four week-long isolation period. These bacteria can thrive in low-water conditions, promote plant growth, and belong to a novel species group. Genome analysis of five strains revealed their potential in biogeochemical cycles, plant growth promotion, and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Next, we conducted greenhouse experiments to assess the efficacy of these bacteria in soybean cultivation, employing a carefully designed bacterial consortium based on our comprehensive understanding of microbial-microbe and plant-microbe interactions. The results showed promising outcomes for improving soybean productivity. In the third chapter of this thesis, we employed in-silico modeling to design a synthetic microbial community aimed at enhancing the yield of important crop plants. By selecting six hub species with essential plant growth-promoting traits from the dominant plant species found in the Campos rupestres, we aimed to optimize the plant-microbe interactions and maximize crop productivity. Lastly, our analysis of 758 metagenome- assembled genomes shed light on the global distribution of the Acidobacteriota phylum and its interactions with plants and biogeochemical processes. This exploration revealed distinct ecological roles for individual taxonomic groups within this phylum, providing valuable insights for future research. Overall, our thesis contributes to a better understanding of slow-growing bacteria, their ecological significance, and their potential applications in agriculture, offering insights into ecosystem functioning and plant interactions.

MicrobiologyItem Efeito de choques térmico e ácido na resistência de Lactobacillus UFV H2b20 em leite em pó(Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 2001-11-05) Furtado, Waléria Cristina de Arruda; Moraes, Célia Alencar de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6073903060440473Os efeitos do choque térmico, 50 o C por 30min, e do choque ácido, em pH3,5 por 2h e 30min a 37 o C, na sobrevivência de Lactobacillus UFV H2b20 à desidratação em “spray dryer” a 180 o C e na resistência a condições ambientais foi estudado. Em relação ao controle, em leite contendo 10% EST após o processamento do leite em pó, observou-se que tanto o choque térmico quanto o choque ácido conferiram às células maior tolerância ao processo de desidratação testado, sendo a diferença na sobrevivência de quase 2 ciclos logarítmicos. Fica demonstrado o efeito protetor do choque térmico e do choque ácido ao tratamento a 65 o C, por 20min, em que o controle, cerca de 10 3 UFC/ml, não logrou sobrevivência, enquanto as células pré-tratadas sofreram redução de apenas 2 ciclos logarítmicos. O mesmo efeito protetor ao tratamento em pH2,5 por 2h e 30min foi observado. No tratamento em 0,8mg/ml de lisozima por 60min não foi verificado efeito protetor ou deletério desses pré-tratamentos. No tratamento com 1% de sais biliares, verifica-se maior sobrevivência do controle quando comparado com as amostras pré-tratadas. Houve sobrevivência de 10% xdas células do controle e 1% das células pré-tratadas, nos primeiros 30min de exposição. Nas células submetidas ao choque ácido, houve efeito deletério nos primeiros 30min e efeito protetor nos demais períodos demonstrando seu efeito protetor na manutenção do número de células sobreviventes a esse tratamento. Observou-se melhor efeito do tratamento com ácido, quando comparado ao choque térmico.
