It is therefore important to determine the PAHs in different environmental matrices. Several studies have shown the use of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry as a technique for quantification of PAHs by presenting excellent detection limits. This study aimed to develop an analytical methodology for the determination of 16 PAHs listed by the USEPA, test two methods for extraction of PAHs in water from a 23 factorial design, quantify them through the analytical technique coupled to gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using the method developed, and finally apply the results in chemometrics. The sample was synthesized and subjected to tests of the 23 factorial design, which has the factors: the type of extraction technique (ultrasound and digester), the ratio solvent / sample (1:1 and 1:3) and the type of solvent (dichloromethane / hexane and acetone / dichloromethane). The responses of eight combinations of the factorial design were obtained from the quantification by external calibration in GC/MS. The quantification method was developed from an optimized adaptation of the USEPA Method 8270. We used the full scan mode as a way of acquiring the mass spectra of 16 PAHs. The time in which the samples were subjected to ultrasound was fixed at 10 min and held an investigation to establish the conditions of power and time in the digester. We had the best response in the investigation of the digester power of 100 watts and the time of six minutes. The factorial design of liquid-liquid extraction showed that the most representative factors were: the use of the digester as extraction technique, the ratio solvent / sample 1:1 and the use of a 1:1 mixture of dichloromethane / hexane as a solvent more suitable. These results showed that the 1:1 mixture of dichloromethane / hexane is an excellent mixture to recover the extraction of PAHs an aqueous sample using the microwave digester. The optimization of the method of separation, identification and quantification of PAHs in the GC/MS was valid for 16 PAHs present in each chromatogram of the samples / Os HPAs (Hidrocarbonetos Polic?clicos Arom?ticos) pertencem a um grupo de subst?ncias org?nicas que recebem uma aten??o consider?vel devido ?s propriedades carcinog?nicas e mutag?nicas de alguns deles. Por isso, ? importante a determina??o dos HPAs em diversas matrizes ambientais. In?meros trabalhos apresentam o uso da t?cnica de cromatografia gasosa acoplada ? espectrometria de massas como t?cnica de quantifica??o dos HPAs por apresentar ?timos limites de detec??o. Este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver uma metodologia anal?tica para a determina??o dos 16 HPAs indicados pela USEPA, testar duas metodologias de extra??o de HPAs em ?gua, a partir de um Planejamento Fatorial 23, quantific?-las atrav?s da t?cnica anal?tica Cromatografia Gasosa acoplada ? Espectrometria de Massas (CG/EM) utilizando o m?todo desenvolvido e, por fim aplicar a Quimiometria nos resultados. A amostra utilizada foi sintetizada e submetida aos ensaios do planejamento fatorial 23, que teve como fatores: o tipo de t?cnica de extra??o (ultra-som e digestor), a propor??o solvente/amostra (1:1 e 1:3) e o tipo de solvente utilizado (Diclorometano/Hexano e Acetona/Diclorometano). As respostas das oito combina??es do planejamento fatorial foram obtidas da quantifica??o por calibra??o externa no CG/EM. O m?todo de quantifica??o desenvolvido foi otimizado a partir de uma adapta??o da metodologia 8270 da USEPA. Utilizou-se o Full Scan como modo de aquisi??o dos espectros de massas dos 16 HPAs. O tempo em que as amostras foram submetidas no ultra-som foi fixado em 10 min e realizou-se uma investiga??o para se estabelecer as condi??es de pot?ncia e tempo no digestor. Tivemos como melhor resposta na investiga??o do digestor a pot?ncia de 100 Watts e o tempo de 6 minutos. O planejamento fatorial da extra??o l?quido-l?quido mostrou que os fatores mais representativos foram: a utiliza??o do digestor como t?cnica de extra??o, a propor??o solvente/amostra 1:1 e o uso da mistura 1:1 de Diclorometano/Hexano como solvente mais adequado. Esses resultados mostraram que a mistura 1:1 de Diclorometano/Hexano ? uma excelente mistura extratora para recuperar os HPAs de uma amostra aquosa, utilizando o digestor por microondas. A otimiza??o do m?todo de separa??o, identifica??o e quantifica??o dos HPAs no CG/EM foi v?lida por apresentar os 16 HPAs em cada cromatograma das amostras

Independent strategies for cultivation and metagenomics contribute to further microbiological knowledge, enabling studies with non-cultivable about the "native microbiological status and its potential role in bioremediation, for example, of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HPA's). Considering the biome mangrove interface fragile and critical bordering the ocean, this study characterizes the native microbiota mangrove potential biodegradability of HPA's using a biomarker for molecular detection and assessment of bacterial diversity by PCR in areas under the influence of oil companies in the Basin Petroleum Geology Potiguar (BPP). We chose PcaF, a metabolic enzyme, to be the molecular biomarker in a PCR-DGGE detection of prokaryotes that degrade HPA s. The PCR-DGGE fingerprints obtained from Paracuru-CE, Fortim-CE and Areia Branca-RN samples revealed the occurrence of fluctuations of microbial communities according to the sampling periods and in response to the impact of oil. In the analysis of microbial communities interference of the oil industry, in Areia Branca-RN and Paracuru-CE was observed that oil is a determinant of microbial diversity. Fortim-CE probably has no direct influence with the oil activity. In order to obtain data for better understanding the transport and biodegradation of HPA's, there were conducted in silico studies with modeling and simulation from obtaining 3-D models of proteins involved in the degradation of phenanthrene in the transport of HPA's and also getting the 3-D model of the enzyme PcaF used as molecular marker in this study. Were realized docking studies with substrates and products to a better understanding about the transport mechanism and catalysis of HPA s / O conhecimento sobre os procariotos nativos em locais de risco favorece a aplica??o de biotecnologias para biorremedia??o. Estrat?gias independentes de cultivo, como metagen?mica, contribuem para aprofundar o conhecimento microbiol?gico, possibilitando estudos com organismos n?o cultiv?veis acerca do status microbiol?gico nativo e seu potencial papel na biodegrada??o de, por exemplo, Hidrocarbonetos Arom?ticos Polic?clicos (HAP s). Considerando o bioma de mangue uma interface fr?gil e cr?tica de fronteira com o oceano, este trabalho caracteriza a microbiota nativa de mangue com potencial biodegradador de HAP s utilizando um biomarcador molecular para detec??o e avalia??o da diversidade bacteriana em ?reas sob influ?ncia de ind?strias petrol?feras atrav?s da PCR-DGGE na Bacia Petrol?fera Potiguar (BPP). Foi escolhido um biomarcador molecular metab?lico, enzima PcaF, para detec??o de procariotos degradadores de HAP s. Com o biomarcador, fingerprints foram obtidos de amostras de Paracuru-CE, Fortim-CE e Areia Branca-RN, revelando a ocorr?ncia de flutua??es das comunidades microbianas de acordo com os per?odos de amostragem e em resposta ao impacto por petr?leo. Atrav?s da an?lise das comunidades microbianas frente ? interfer?ncia da ind?stria do petr?leo, em Areia Branca-RN e Paracuru-CE foi observado que o petr?leo ? determinante para a diversidade microbiana. Fortim-CE provavelmente n?o tem influ?ncia direta da atividade petrol?fera. No intuito de obter dados para o melhor entendimento do transporte e biodegrada??o de HAP s, foram desenvolvidos estudos in silico de modelagem e simula??o computacional a partir da obten??o de modelos 3-D de prote?nas envolvidas na degrada??o do fenantreno, no transporte de HAP s e tamb?m a obten??o do modelo 3-D da enzima PcaF. Estudos de dockings com substratos e produtos forneceram dados para o melhor entendimento sobre o mecanismo de transporte e cat?lise de HAP s
