: A Penicillium sp. strain was isolated from corroded parts in the Coaracy Nunes hydroelectric power plant in Amapá State, Brazil. Morphological and molecular techniques identified this strain as Penicillium citreosulfuratum Biourge, whose 5.8S-ITS rDNA sequence grouped well in a phylogenetic tree with other Exilicaulis section species of the Penicillium genus. The obtained strain of P. citreosulfuratum ability to form biofilm on the surface of aluminum wires was confirmed by optical and scanning electron microscopy. In plates containing PDA or T&K media, the P. citreosulfuratum strain growth was inhibited around a paper disk containing a highly concentrated solution of copper, iron, or nickel. However, there was no inhibition halo around the paper disk containing aluminum and there was a faint halo around the paper disk containing zinc. This fungus was able to grow in a modified T&K liquid medium containing 50 mM of Al 3+ and less efficiently in the same medium but containing 50 mM Zn 2+ .

HIGHLIGHTS The high energy method revealed the efficiency in obtaining the nanoemulsions. The nanoemulsions showed appropriate characteristics for this type of system. 4 °C was the best temperature to preserve the nanoemulsions characteristics.

HIGHLIGHTS Eugenol-loaded Eudragit RS100 nanocapsules were suitably obtained and characterized. A simple and fast UPLC/MS-MS method for determining eugenol in Eudragit RS100 nanocapsules was developed and validated. Eugenol-loaded Eudragit RS100 nanocapsules showed physical stability after 60 days of preparation. Eugenol-loaded Eudragit RS100 nanocapsules may be further used for reducing dental sensitivity.
