Bioethanol is a biofuel produced mainly from the fermentation of carbohydrates derived agricultural feedstocks by yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae . One most widely adopted strains PE-2, heterothallic diploid naturally adapted to sugar cane process used in Brazil. Here we report molecular genetic analysis PE-2 (JAY270), and complete genome sequence haploid derivative (JAY291). The JAY270 highly heterozygous (∼2 SNPs/kb) has several structural polymorphisms between homologous chromosomes. These...
Microbial communities play critical roles in the gastrointestinal tracts (GIT) of preruminant calves by influencing performance and health. However, little is known about establishment microbial calf GIT or their dynamics during development. In this study, next-generation sequencing was used to assess changes bacterial rumen, jejunum, cecum, colon 26 crossbred at four developmental stages (7, 28, 49, 63 days old). Alpha diversity differed among regions with lowest evenness whereas no alpha...
Drylands occupy approximately 41% of the Earth's terrestrial surface. Climate change and land use practices are expected to affect biogeochemical cycling by soil microbiome in these ecosystems. Understanding how microbial community might respond drivers is extremely important mitigate processes degradation desertification. The Caatinga, an exclusively Brazilian biome composed extensive seasonal tropical dry forest, exposed variable spatiotemporal rainfall patterns as well strong human-driven...
Although the human bladder is reported to harbor unique microbiota, our understanding of how these microbial communities interact with their hosts limited, mostly owing lack isolates test mechanistic hypotheses. Niche-specific bacterial collections and associated reference genome databases have been instrumental in expanding knowledge microbiota other anatomical sites, such as gut oral cavity.
At birth, calves display an underdeveloped rumen that eventually matures into a fully functional as result of solid food intake and microbial activity. However, little is known regarding the gradual impact pre-weaning diet on establishment microbiota. Here, we employed next-generation sequencing to investigate effects inclusion starter concentrate (M: milk-fed vs. MC: milk plus fed) archaeal, bacterial anaerobic fungal communities in rumens 45 crossbred dairy across development (7, 28, 49,...
Abstract The 16S r RNA gene amplicon and whole‐genome shotgun metagenomic ( WGSM ) sequencing approaches were used to investigate wide‐spectrum profiles of microbial composition metabolic diversity from a full‐scale UASB reactor applied poultry slaughterhouse wastewater treatment. data generated by using MiSeq 2 × 250 bp HiSeq 150 Illumina platforms for sequencing, respectively. Each approach revealed distinct community profile, with Pseudomonas Psychrobacter as predominant genus the dataset...
The bioethanol production system used in Brazil is based on the fermentation of sucrose from sugarcane feedstock by highly adapted strains yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Bacterial contaminants present distillery environment often produce yeast-bacteria cellular co-aggregation particles that resemble yeast-yeast cell adhesion (flocculation). formation such undesirable because it slows kinetics and reduces overall yield. In this study, we investigated molecular physiology one main S....
In this work, the amplicon sequencing of 16 S rRNA gene was employed to investigate bacterial diversity in ingredients, processing environment, and ripened cheeses collected from three farms producing Serra da Canastra artisanal cheese. The data obtained indicated a remarkable variability bacteria consortia milk, whey, environmental samples 1, 2, 3, despite their location same city. On other hand, starter culture final product (ripened cheese) presented more constant similar microbiota no...
Background and Objective Smoking is a recognized risk factor for peri‐implant disease leads to microbiological changes in mucositis peri‐implantitis. However, there no knowledge about the impact of smoking healthy tissue. The aim study was evaluate microbiome environment smokers with conditions. Methods Peri‐implant biofilm collected around single clinically healthy, screwed‐retained, teeth‐surrounded implants 12 non‐smoker ( NSMK ) smoker SMK non‐periodontitis subjects (no bleeding probing...
ABSTRACT Trueperella bernardiae is infrequently isolated, usually in polymicrobial communities, from human hosts with a wide variety of symptoms and diseases. Here, we report complete genome sequence (UMB8254), isolated the bladder female metabolic syndrome nephrolithiasis.
The aim of the present work was to compare capacity modulate intestinal microbiota and production metabolites after 14 d administration a commercial dietary supplement manufactured ice cream, both containing same quantity inulin viable counts Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 Bifidobacterium animalis BB-12, using Simulator Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®) model. Samples colonic contents were evaluated microbiologically by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) next-generation...
This study aimed to investigate the impact of food matrix (orange juice and yogurt) on effects spore-forming probiotic microorganism Bacillus coagulans GBI-30 6086 in health parameters gastrointestinal tract (gut) bacterial diversity Wistar male rats. Rats ( n = 48) were randomly distributed into six groups. The groups Control (which received sterile distilled water), Juice orange juice), Yogurt yogurt), Probiotic B. with 6086), yogurt 6086).

Abstract Eriocitrin (eriodictyol 7‐ O ‐β‐rutinoside), a citrus flavonoid from lemon juice and peel, reduces hyperglycemia improves diabetes‐related biomarkers in prediabetes patients. is first metabolized by gut microbiota, producing energy for cells short chain fatty acids that play relevant role glycemic control. The aim of this study was to assess the effect Eriomin®, nutraceutical composed 70% eriocitrin, 5% hesperidin, 4% naringin, on microbiota prediabetic Patients were randomly...
In this study, the microbiota of liquid eggs (raw materials) produced by different suppliers and final products (chilled pasteurized whole chilled egg yolk) (n = 211, pooled in 21 samples) was studied a 16S rRNA-based amplicon sequencing. The raw material samples were collected from five (A, B, C, E, F), whereas sixth type shell broken at processing factory. located distances (∼100 Km to ∼1500 Km) facility, being subjected varying practices after breaking (pasteurization addition hydrogen...
This study investigated the effects of feeding paraprobiotics obtained by six processes [heat, ultrasound, high pH, low irradiation and supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2)] on biochemical parameters intestinal microbiota Wistar male rats. Daily administration did not affect (p ≥ 0.05) food intake, body weight, glucose triglycerides levels, expression antioxidant enzymes or thermal shock proteins in comparison to control.
