A área de estudo está inserida no contexto geológico do Graben do Cupe, região de borda da Bacia Sedimentar de Pernambuco (BPE) com o embasamento cristalino adjacente. O Graben do Cupe é considerado um importante depocentro da região onshore dessa bacia e sua origem está ligada à abertura do Oceano Atlântico Sul. A partir da integração de dados gravimétricos, dados altimétricos obtidos por LIDAR e dados de campo, foi possível realizar uma caracterização estrutural dos principais lineamentos gravimétricos e topográficos que cortam a região central do Graben do Cupe. O mapa de anomalia bouguer residual revelou que o arcabouço estrutural mais profundo da BPE é representado por falhas normais de direção NE-SW, bem como falhas transcorrentes sinistrais, de direção NW-SE e dextrais ENE-WSW. A mesma orientação de lineamentos topográficos foi obtida através da interpretação dos dados altimétricos. Os rios inseridos na área de estudo seguem a mesma orientação dos lineamentos topográficos e gravimétricos, NW-SE e NE-SW. O mapeamento estrutural revelou que os lineamentos gravimétricos e topográficos estão associados à direção da foliação NE-SW, presente no embasamento adjacente a bacia, e às falhas originadas durante a fase rifte da BPE; A) NE-SW e NNE-SSW caracterizadas como falhas normais e B) NW-SE que corresponde a falhas oblíquas. As estruturas mais profundas tanto do embasamento, quanto as estruturas rifte que compartimentam o Graben do Cupe foram responsáveis por controlar a evolução quaternária da paisagem, o que provocou a captura da drenagem de alguns cursos fluviais, e o significante condicionamento tectônico dos vales fluviais.  Structural Characterization of the Central Region of the Graben Cupe, Pernambuco Sedimentary Basin: Implications for the Current Pattern of the Drainage Network A B S T R A C TThe study area is inserted in the geological settings of the Cupe Graben, which is located in the border region of the Pernambuco Basin with the adjacent crystalline basement. The Cupe Graben is considered an important depocenter in the onshore region of this basin and its origin is linked to the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean. From the integration of gravimetric data, altimetric data obtained by LIDAR and field data, it was possible to carry out a structural characterization of the main gravimetric and topographic lineaments that cut the central region of Cupe Graben. The residual bouguer anomaly map revealed that the deep structural framework of the BPE is represented by normal faults NE-SW and NNE-SSW and sinistral strike slip faults NW-SE. The same orientation of topographic lineaments was obtained through the interpretation of the topographic lineaments. The rivers inserted in the study area have the same orientation as the topographic and gravimetric lineaments, NW-SE and NE-SW. The structural mapping revealed that the gravimetric and topographic lineaments are related to foliation in the adjacent basement NE-SW, and the faults originated during the BPE rift phase; A) NE-SW and NNE-SSW characterized as normal faults and B) NW-SE which corresponds to oblique faults. The deeper structures of both the basement and the rift structures that constraint the Cupe Graben were responsible for controlling the quaternary evolution of the landscape, which caused the capture of the drainage of some rivers, and the strong conditioning of the drainage network.Keywords: Cupe Graben, Pernambuco Basin, structural geology, river capture.

Characterization of Borrelia burgdorferi strains by means of negative staining EM has become an integral part of many studies related to the biology of the Lyme disease organism. However, relying solely upon negative staining to compare new isolates with prototype B31 or other borreliae is often unsatisfactory. To obtain more satisfactory results, we have relied upon a correlative approach encompassing a variety EM techniques, i.e., scanning for topographical features and cryotomy, negative staining and thin sectioning to provide a more complete structural characterization of B. burgdorferi.For characterization, isolates of B. burgdorferi were cultured in BSK II media from which they were removed by low speed centrifugation. The sedimented borrelia were carefully resuspended in stabilizing buffer so as to preserve their features for scanning and negative staining. Alternatively, others were prepared for conventional thin sectioning and for cryotomy using modified procedures. For thin sectioning, the fixative described by Ito, et al.
