MARCOS ANTÔNIO SOARES
I am a microbiologist with an interest in diversity, ecological role and biotechnological application of fungi and endophytic bacteria. I obtained my bachelor's degree and degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Viçosa - UFV / 2000. Master and PhD in Agricultural Microbiology from UFV / 2007, with a PhD internship at Université Paria XI. Post doctorate from Rutgers University / 2014 in plant-endophyte interaction. He joined the Department of Botany and Ecology / Institute of Biosciences at UFMT in 2008 when he began his research and extension activities that culminated in the emergence of the Laboratory of Biotechnology and Microbial Ecology-LABEM. Together with my collaborators and students, I research questions about ecology and the functional role of bacteria and endophytic fungi in plants present in humid areas. We use fungi and endophytic bacteria as sources of bioactive natural products and as tools in bioremediation and biological control. We work with plant species of medicinal interest and some invasive ones. In addition to research, I teach disciplines for undergraduate courses in Biological Sciences and postgraduate programs lato (specialization in Microbiology) and stricto sensu (Masters in Chemistry and PhD in Biotechnology / Biodiversity and Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation).

EUZICLEI GONZAGA DE ALMEIDA
I am a microbiologist with an interest in traditional and rudimentary fermentation processes, developed by indigenous people, seeking to understand the diversity, role and contribution of bacteria, yeast and filamentous fungi in these processes. I obtained my academic degree in Biological Sciences from the State University of Mato Grosso - UNEMAT / 2002. Master in Agricultural Microbiology by UFLA / 2005 and PhD in Food Science UFLA / 2009. Post-doctorate (PNPD) in microbial biodiversity in spontaneous fermented products - using molecular techniques for knowledge of microbial biodiversity, at this same university until February 2012. He joined the Department of Botany and Ecology / UFMT Biosciences Institute in 2012 and started his activities research and extension in 2013 as a partner in the Laboratory of Biotechnology and Microbial Ecology-LABEM. Currently he has been developing research with my collaborators and students with fermented drink produced by the Arara Indians, making the microbiological characterization through traditional and molecular methods, physical-chemical and nutritional analysis. And collaborating on projects such as: Bioremediation and mechanisms of resistance to mercury by microbiota present in contaminated areas in the state of Mato Grosso; Analysis of the adaptation and impact of the introduction of the bioagent Trichoderma spp in Cerrado soils; Endophytes as a tool for bioremediation of environments contaminated by mercury. In addition to research, I teach discipline for the Forest Engineering course and Postgraduate programs latu sensu (specialization in Microbiology) and strictu sensu (master's degree in Chemistry and PhD in Biotechnology and Biodiversity).
