Leptospira species colonize a significant proportion of rodent populations worldwide and produce life-threatening infections in accidental hosts, including humans. Complete genome sequencing interrogans serovar Copenhageni comparative analysis with the available Lai reveal that despite overall genetic similarity there are structural differences, large chromosomal inversion extensive variation number distribution insertion sequence elements. Genome elucidates many novel aspects leptospiral...
The red algal order Bangiales has been revised as a result of detailed regional studies and the development expert local knowledge floras, followed by collaborative global analyses based on wide taxon sampling molecular analyses. Combined nuclear SSU rRNA gene plastid RUBISCO LSU ( rbc L) for 157 taxa have conducted. Fifteen genera Bangiales, seven filamentous eight foliose, are recognized. This classification includes five newly described two resurrected genera. revision constitutes major...
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-dwelling, insect-transmitted, gamma-proteobacterium that causes diseases in many plants, including grapevine, citrus, periwinkle, almond, oleander, and coffee. X. has an unusually broad host range, extensive geographical distribution throughout the American continent, induces diverse disease phenotypes. Previous molecular analyses indicated three distinct groups of isolates were expected to be genetically divergent. Here we report genome sequence (Temecula...
We report novel features of the genome sequence Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni, a highly invasive spirochete. species colonize significant proportion rodent populations worldwide and produce life-threatening infections in mammals. Genomic analysis reveals presence competent transport system with 13 families genes encoding for major transporters including three-member component efflux compatible long-term survival this organism. The leptospiral contains broad array regulatory...
Coffee is one of the most valuable agricultural commodities and ranks second on international trade exchanges. The genus Coffea belongs to Rubiaceae family which includes other important plants. contains about 100 species but commercial production based only two species, arabica canephora that represent 70 % 30 total coffee market, respectively. Brazilian Genome Project was designed with objective making modern genomics resources available scientific community, working different aspects...
:This study represents the efforts of a network researchers to characterise large, floating Sargassum (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) biomass that had reached Brazilian coast in 2014 and 2015. Material collected during these events was identified as natans S. fluitans using morphological characteristics; ITS2 sequences showed low divergence (0%–3%) with nine other species. Several epiphytic macroalgae, invertebrates fishes were associated Sargassum. Satellite images did not support hypothesis slicks...
The genome sequence of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli, which causes ratoon stunting disease and affects sugarcane worldwide, was determined. single circular chromosome CTCB07 2.6 Mb in length with a GC content 68% 2,044 predicted open reading frames. analysis also revealed 307 pseudogenes, is more than any bacterial plant pathogen sequenced to date. Many these if functional, would likely be involved the degradation heteropolysaccharides, uptake free sugars, synthesis amino acids. Although L. has...
The BIOTA-FAPESP program is linking a decade of research on biodiversity into public policy in the state São Paulo.
The name Mesophyllum erubescens has been applied to protuberant rhodolith specimens which sometimes occur abundantly, as well encrusting in tropical and temperate waters the Western Pacific, Indian Atlantic Oceans. A DNA sequence, representing about 20% of rbcL gene, was obtained from 140 year old holotype specimen collected Fernando de Noronha Archipelago by Challenger Expedition. This sequence identical field-collected topotype ranging south along coast Brazil. Sequences for psbA these...
Abstract An updated synthesis of cyanobacteria and algae information is presented for Brazil aiming to refine the data gathered date evaluate progress biodiversity knowledge about these organisms in country since publication Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos do Brasil. The results 2015 showed an increase 1,250 species (35.7%) when compared 2010, reaching a total 4,747 species. most diverse classes number were Bacillariophyceae, Conjugatophyceae, Florideophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae...
Gracilariaceae are mostly pantropical red algae and include ~230 species in seven genera. Infrafamilial classification of the group has long been based on reproductive characters, but previous phylogenies have shown that traditionally circumscribed groups not monophyletic. We performed phylogenetic analyses using two plastid (universal amplicon rbc L) one mitochondrial ( cox 1) loci from a greatly expanded number taxa to better assess generic relationships understand patterns character...
As doenças inflamatórias intestinais (DIIs), incluindo a doença de Crohn e retocolite ulcerativa, são condições crônicas caracterizadas por inflamação persistente do trato gastrointestinal, com impacto significativo na qualidade vida dos pacientes. Este estudo teve como objetivo revisar criticamente literatura sobre o papel da nutrição no manejo das DIIs, explorando intervenções dietéticas específicas, nutrientes imunomoduladores estratégias nutricionais personalizadas. A metodologia...
The Rhodophyta (red algae) are composed of the subclasses Bangiophycidae and Florideophycidae. Two evolutionarily interesting features are: (1) they ancestral pool from which more morphologically complex taxa in Florideophycidae have arisen (2) sources plastids, through secondary endosymbioses, for Cryptophyta, Haptophyta, Heterokonta. To understand phylogeny to gain further insights into red algal we sequenced plastid‐encoded small subunit ribosomal DNA (rDNA) coding region nine members...
We sequenced the nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA coding region from 20 members of Bangiophycidae and two Florideophycidae to gain insights into red algal evolution. A combined alignment plastid rDNA a data set Rubisco protein sequences were also studied complement understanding bangiophyte phylogeny address secondary symbiosis. Our results are consistent with monophyletic origin Florideophycidae, which form sister‐group Bangiales. Bangiales monophyly is strongly supported, although...
The genetic and morphological variability among 15 Brazilian strains of Microcystis aeruginosa (Kütz.) Kütz. collected from four locations was examined compared with several reference M. , viridis (A. Br.) Lemm. wesenbergii (Kom.) Kom. in Kondr. were classified by features comparison the nucleotide sequences cpc BA intergenic spacer flanking regions. Our results indicate that as are phylogenetically diverse current taxonomy underestimates diversity within aeruginosa. data also demonstrate...
