A cana-de-açúcar é uma cultura agrícola de grande importância econômica para o Brasil, e a expansão de seu cultivo para solos marginais requer uma maior utilização de fertilizantes à base de nitrogênio (N). Na maioria dos países produtores, a adubação nitrogenada se baseia em altas doses de aplicação, enquanto, no Brasil, o seu uso é relativamente baixo devido, em parte, ao processo de fixação biológica de nitrogênio (FBN) pela ação de bactérias diazotróficas. Além da FBN, as plantas adquirem fontes de N, como amônio e nitrato, por meio de transportadores de membranas localizados nas raízes. Há evidências que a associação com microrganismos pode favorecer as plantas por meio da regulação dos genes de transportadores de N. Desta forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar o transporte de amônio e nitrato, avaliando a expressão gênica dos principais transportadores de N em cana-de-açúcar cultivada in vitro sob o efeito da associação com bactérias diazotróficas. Também foi descrita a comunidade bacteriana de plântulas in vitro, bem como o efeito da fertilização com N e da inoculação com bactérias diazotróficas em plantas maduras. Plântulas de \'SP70- 1143\' e \'Chunee\', que contrastam para FBN, foram empregadas em ensaios in vitro sob diversas concentrações e fontes de N em associação ou não com uma estirpe de Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus ou um mistura de bactérias diazotróficas (G. diazotrophicus, Herbaspirillum seropedicae, H. rubrisubalbicans, Azospirillum amazonense e Burkholderia tropica). A caracterização do transporte de N por meio de ensaios de absorção de nitrato e amônio marcados (15N) revelou que a interação entre cana-de-açúcar x G. diazotrophicus induziu a expressão do gene do transportador de nitrato ScNRT2.1, o que levou a uma tendência no aumento no influxo de nitrato, assim como dos genes de transportadores de amônio ScAMT1.1 e ScAMT1.3, resultando em maiores influxos de amônio apenas para a cultivar \'SP70- 1143\'. Já a associação da cana-de-açúcar com a mistura de bactérias diazotróficas revelou que somente houve indução transcricional de ScAMT1.1, o que resultou na maior absorção de amônio em \'SP70-1143\'. Por sua vez, quando analisada a interação in vitro por 30 dias, a presença da bactéria, apesar de transiente, possivelmente favoreceu a expressão dos genes de transportadores de nitrato ScNRT1.1 e ScNRT2.1, e do transportador de amônio ScAMT1.1, resultando no maior acúmulo de 15N-nitrato de amônio nas plantas de \'SP70-1143\'. Foi detectada uma comunidade bacteriana associada a plântulas micropropagadas, a qual é distinta entre os genótipos \'SP70-1143\' e \'Chunee\' e se altera com a inoculação com G. diazotrophicus. Para as plantas cultivadas em campo, a comunidade bacteriana existente foi alterada pela fertilização de N, mas não pela inoculação com diazotróficas. Portanto, a inoculação com bactérias diazotróficas parece induzir a expressão dos principais genes transportadores de amônio e nitrato em plântulas do genótipo \'SP70-1143\' resultando na maior absorção de fontes inorgânicas de N.

The recognition of karst reservoirs in carbonate rocks has become increasingly common. However, most karst features are small to be recognized in seismic sections or larger than expected to be investigated with borehole data. One way forward has been the study of analogue outcrops and caves. The present study investigates lithofacies and karst processes, which lead to the generation of the largest system of caves in South America. The study area is located in the Neoproterozoic Una Group in central-eastern Brazil. This province comprises several systems of carbonate caves (Karmann and Sanchéz, 1979), which include the Toca da Boa Vista and Barriguda caves, considered the largest caves in South America (Auler and Smart, 2003). These caves were formed mainly in dolomites of the Salitre Formation, which was deposited in a shallow marine environment in an epicontinental sea (Medeiros and Pereira, 1994). The Salitre Formation in the cave area comprises laminated mud/wakestones, intraclastic grainstones, oncolitic grainstones, oolitic grainstones, microbial laminites, colunar stromatolites, trombolites and fine siliciclastic rocks (marls, shales, and siltites). A thin layer and chert nodules also occur at the top of the carbonate unit. Phosphate deposits are also found. Our preliminary data indicate that folds and associated joints control the main karstification event at the end of the Brasiliano orogeny (740-540 Ma). We recognized five lithofacies in the cave system: (1) Bottom layers of grainstone with cross bedding comprise the main unit affected by speleogenesis, (2) thin grainstone layers with thin siltite layers, (3) microbial laminites layers, (4) layers of columnar stromatolites, and a (5) top layer of siltite. Levels (1) to (3) are affected by intense fracturing, whereas levels (4) and (5) seal the caves and have little fracturing. Chert, calcite and gipsite veins cut across the carbonate units and play a major role in diagenesis. Our preliminary study indicate that hypogenic spelogenesis is the main process of karst development and contributed significantly to the generation of secondary porosity and permeability in the carbonate units.

The fracturing in carbonate rocks has been attracting increasingly attention due to new oil discoveries in carbonate reservoirs. This study investigates how the fractures (faults and joints) behave when subjected to different stress fields and how their behavior may be associated with the generation of karst and consequently to increased secondary porosity in these rocks. In this study I used satellite imagery and unmanned aerial vehicle UAV images and field data to identify and map faults and joints in a carbonate outcrop, which I consider a good analogue of carbonate reservoir. The outcrop comprises rocks of the Jandaíra Formation, Potiguar Basin. Field data were modeled using the TECTOS software, which uses finite element analysis for 2D fracture modeling. I identified three sets of fractures were identified: NS, EW and NW-SE. They correspond to faults that reactivate joint sets. The Ratio of Failure by Stress (RFS) represents stress concentration and how close the rock is to failure and reach the Mohr-Coulomb envelopment. The results indicate that the tectonic stresses are concentrated in preferred structural zones, which are ideal places for carbonate dissolution. Dissolution was observed along sedimentary bedding and fractures throughout the outcrop. However, I observed that the highest values of RFS occur in fracture intersections and terminations. These are site of karst concentration. I finally suggest that there is a relationship between stress concentration and location of karst dissolution in carbonate rocks.
