Organisms exhibit extensive variation in ecological niche breadth, from very narrow (specialists) to broad (generalists). Two general paradigms have been proposed explain this variation: (i) trade-offs between performance efficiency and breadth (ii) the joint influence of extrinsic (environmental) intrinsic (genomic) factors. We assembled genomic, metabolic, data nearly all known species ancient fungal subphylum Saccharomycotina (1154 yeast strains 1051 species), grown 24 different...
The in vitro generation of neurons from embryonic stem (ES) cells is a promising approach to produce suitable for neural tissue repair and cell-based replacement therapies the nervous system. Available methods promote ES cell differentiation towards lineages attempt replicate, different ways, multistep process development. However, achieve this aim an efficient reproducible way, better knowledge cellular molecular events that are involved process, initial specification neuroepithelial...
Organisms exhibit extensive variation in ecological niche breadth, from very narrow (specialists) to broad (generalists). Paradigms proposed explain this either invoke trade-offs between performance efficiency and breadth or underlying intrinsic extrinsic factors. We assembled genomic (1,154 yeast strains 1,049 species), metabolic (quantitative measures of growth 843 species 24 conditions), (environmental ontology 1,088 species) data nearly all known the ancient fungal subphylum...
Abstract Microbe domestication has a major applied relevance but is still poorly understood from an evolutionary perspective. The yeast Torulaspora delbrueckii gaining importance for biotechnology little known about its population structure, variation in gene content or possible routes. Here, we show that T. composed of five clades. Among the three European clades, lineage associated with wild arboreal niche sister to two other lineages are linked anthropic environments, one wine...
To describe the environmental practices of participants in an urban organic community garden at beginning their gardening experience and after a period six months, to discover opinion about how this activity influenced consumption vegetables, fruits food.Interviews using structured questionnaires were conducted twice with 115 city dwellers: when they started vegetable 6 months later. The questionnaire included questions related practices. second evaluation also food, vegetables fruit.This...
The molecular gastronomy is a science that increasingly expanding, allowing the transformation of traditional food products into innovative products, thereby raising their sensory characteristics, appreciated by population. In this way, present work was developed having in mind creation an product, powdered olive oil. For that, different variations were created: natural, with oregano, parsley, garlic, paprika and natural red coloring. product then presented to public, market study conducted...
In yeasts belonging to the subphylum Saccharomycotina, genes encoding components of main metabolic pathways, like alcoholic fermentation, are usually conserved. However, in fructophilic species floral Wickerhamiella and Starmerella genera (W/S clade), fermentation was uniquely shaped by events gene loss horizontal transfer (HGT).
is an orange-colored basidiomycetous yeast genus of the order Cystofilobasidiales that contains a single species,
To characterize the horticulturists of an urban garden in terms their current state health and behaviors (at gardening begining) to evaluate effect horticulture practice on quality life (after a six month stretch).
During studies of yeasts associated with soil in a Cerrado-Atlantic Rain Forest ecotone site Brazil, three orange-pigmented yeast strains were isolated from samples collected Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Molecular analyses combining the 26S rRNA gene (D1/D2 domains) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences as well whole-genome sequence data showed that these could not be ascribed to any known species basidiomycetous genus Phaffia, thus they are considered represent novel for which name...
The yeast Torulaspora delbrueckii is gaining importance for biotechnology due to its ability increase wine sensorial complexity and enhancing pre-frozen bread dough leavening. However, little known about population structure, variation in gene content, or possible domestication routes. Here, we address these issues update the delimitation of T. along five major clades. Among three European clades, a basal lineage associated with wild arboreal niche, while two other lineages are linked...
Os autores apresentam o caso clinico de uma crianca do sexo feminino 8 anos idade com Diabetes Mellitus insulinodependente poliuria acentuada e diminuicao da acuidade visual, cuja investigacao levou ao diagnostico Atrofia optica, Insipida Surdez neurosensorial. Perante Sindrome Wolfram (DIDMOAD) dada a raridade desta patologia os fizeram revisao bibliografica sobre este tema.
Introducción: Los alimentos modificados genéticamente (AGM) han sido aprobados en la Unión Europea. Estos alimentos, cuestionados cuanto a sus beneficios y riesgos reales. Esto es especialmente relevante el caso de dimensión nutricional, donde los consumidores se enfrentan decisiones diarias sobre cómo alimentar mejor familias. En este marco complejo, profesionales salud deben intervenir responder las preguntas opinión, actitud ciencia que tienen clientes. El objetivo estudio fue evaluar...
The concept of fairness has been studied in philosophy and economics for thousands years, so human actors social systems have had plenty time to ``learn'' what does, does not, work. Yet, only recently. However, it is a relatively new question how software agents multi-agent system can use Reinforcement Learning models develop an architecture that promotes equality or equity the distribution rewards within system. Recent significant contributions focused on optimising efficiency based...
