Maria do Carmo Catanho Pereira de Lyra

Graduated in Agronomy at UFRPE (1988), Master in Agronomy Soil Sciences with emphasis on Genetics and Soil Classification at UFRPE (1993) (CAPES Scholarship) and PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology by the University of Seville (2001) (Scholarship) CAPES) in the field of microorganism genetics (Rhizobiology, nodulation genes involved in the type III protein secretion system (TTSS). She has been a researcher at the Agronomic Institute of Pernambuco - IPA since 2006, and did her first Post-Doctorate in Genetic Ecology (2007 / 2008) (CNPq Scholarship) at the National Autonomous University of Mexico - UNAM in Phylogeny of Palma (Opuntia and Nopalea), the second post-doctorate was held at the University of Seville in 2011/2012 (CAPES Scholarship) in genetics of Microorganisms with plant defense genes as a project using PRPG bacteria and biochemical analyzes and in 2016/2017 she finished her third Senior post-doctorate as Visiting Professor at Universi University of California, Campus Davis (UCDAVIS) (CAPES Scholarship) - STAGE SENIOR, Department of LAWR (Land, Air and Water Resources), in the area of ​​Soil Science in the Soil Ecology laboratory. The projects approved by CAPES line MCT-PNPD / FINEP line by CAPES and CNPq. Practice areas: Rhizobiology, study of diazotrophic bacteria, study of phylogeny in plants, defense genes in plants, Genetics, Protein and Metagenomics. Protein Analysis in Plants and Microorganisms. In 2015, take part in the course held by MCT / CABBIO at the Patagonian Research Center, which studies how microbial communities through large-scale sequencing of the 16S ribosonal rRNA gene. In 2016, I received a Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of California Campus Davis - in the department of land, air and water resources in , Soil Ecological Genomics Laboratory , worked on multiple research efforts: 1) evaluated the microbial response on soils amended with recycled food hydrosylate, a novel stabilized product to be used as fertilizer; and 2) quantified and characterized the microbial communities of the rice hizosphere, specifically ammonia oxidizing microorganisms. In 2018 was approved a research project entitled: Technologies for reducing nitrogen fertilization in sugarcane cultivation using growth-promoting bacteria (BPCP) and crop rotation with legumes evaluated through N-fixing microbial communities. It has 496 citations in 78 papers by the ResearcherID website (I-8886-2012) with factor H = 16, M.C.C.P. de Lyra Índice i10: 22 Google Scholar. ResearchGate RG score: 22.21.
