Abstract in Portuguese
Este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar a diversidade bacteriana presente em uma área de mineração. Os resultados mostraram que o filo mais abundante das bactérias classificadas foi o proteobacteria e 66% deste filo pertencem a classe betaproteobacteria. A diversidade de bactérias encontradas no solo de fora da mina mostrou-se diferente daquele encontrado dentro da mina, mostrando que a ação da mineração poderia ter modificado a comunidade microbiana nativa do local. Na tentativa de elucidar o mecanismo de resistência ao cobre presente nos isolados, foram escolhidas 2 cepas resistentes a altas concentrações de cobre: Acinetobacter sp. e Enterobacter sp. Os resultados de proteômica mostraram que as duas cepas possuem mecanismos diferentes de resistência. Acinetobacter teve a expressão de duas proteínas CopA e CopB em diferentes condições de cultivos (200 ppm de cobre 6h de cultivo; 24h e 72h de cultivo em 450 ppm de cobre). Com esses resultados foi possível elucidar que esta cepa tem o mesmo mecanismo de resistência encontrado em Enterococcus hirae, onde a proteína CopA tem como função o influxo de cobre e a proteína CopB o efluxo do excesso de cobre intracelular. Já a bactéria Enterobacter teve expressão apenas de proteínas de membranas e nenhuma proteína propriamente conhecida como de resistência à cobre. Este resultado foi corroborado por técnica de PCR, no qual não houve expressão para esse gene. Possivelmente as proteínas de membrana externa estão responsáveis pela homeostase do cobre realizada por esta cepa.

Abstract in English
This work aimed to characterize the bacterial diversity present in a mining area. Results showed the most abundant phylum of the classified bacteria are proteobacteria and 66% of this phylum are class betaproteobacteria. The diversity of bacteria found in the soil outside the mine differed from those found within the mine, showing that the mining action may have modified the local microbial community. In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism of resistance to copper present in the isolates, two strains resistant to high concentrations of copper were chosen: Acinetobacter sp. and Enterobacter sp. Proteomics results showed these two strains have different mechanisms of resistance. Acinetobacter had the expression of two CopA and CopB proteins under different cultivation conditions (200 ppm of copper 6h of culture and 24h and also in 450 ppm of copper and 72h of culture). With these results it was possible to elucidate, this strain has the same mechanism of resistance found in Enterococcus hirae, which the CopA protein functions as the copper influx and the CopB protein the efflux of excess intracellular copper. On the other hand, Enterobacter bacterium had only membrane proteins, and no proteins known as copper resistance. This result was corroborated with PCR, where there was no expression for this gene. Possibly the outer membrane proteins are responsible for the copper homeostasis performed by this strain.
