Metagenomic analysis of sediments under seaports influence in the Equatorial At...
Tavares, Tallita Cruz Lopes; Normando, Leonardo Ribeiro Oliveira; Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza Ribeiro de; Gerber, Alexandra LehmkuhlMaritime ports are anthropogenic interventions capable of causing serious alterations in coastal ecosystems. In this study, we examined the benthic microbial diversity and community structure under the influence of two maritime ports, Mucuripe (MUC) and Pecém (PEC), at Equatorial Atlantic Ocean in Northeast Brazil. Those seaports differ in architecture, time of functioning, cargo handling and contamination. The...
Swine and poultry pathogens: The complete genome sequences of two strains of My...
Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza; Ferreira, Henrique Bunselmeyer; Bizarro, Cristiano Valim; Bonatto, Sandro L.; Carvalho, Marcos O.; Pinto, Paulo MarcosThis work reports the results of analyses of three complete mycoplasma genomes, a pathogenic (7448) and a nonpathogenic (J) strain of the swine pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a strain of the avian pathogen Mycoplasma synoviae; the genome sizes of the three strains were 920,079 bp, 897,405 bp, and 799,476 bp, respectively. These genomes were compared with other sequenced mycoplasma genomes reported in the...
The Genome of Anopheles darlingi, the main neotropical malaria vector
Marinotti, Osvaldo; Cerqueira, Gustavo C.; Almeida, Luiz G.P.; Ferro, Maria Inês Tiraboschi; Loreto, Elgion Lúcio da Silva; Zaha, ArnaldoAnopheles darlingi is the principal neotropical malaria vector, responsible for more than a million cases of malaria per year on the American continent. Anopheles darlingi diverged from the African and Asian malaria vectors ∼100 million years ago (mya) and successfully adapted to the New World environment. Here we present an annotated reference A. darlingi genome, sequenced from a wild population of males and f...
The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable an...
Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza; De-Almeida, Darcy Fontoura; Hungría, Mariangela; Guimarães, Cláudia Teixeira; Antônio, Regina VasconcellosChromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) ≈500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) wide-spre...

Helicobacter pylori genotype and polymorphisms in DNA repair enzymes : where do...
Silva-Fernandes, Isabelle Joyce de Lima; Silva, Thayse Azevedo da; Agnez-Lima, Lucymara Fassarella; Ferreira, Márcia Valéria PitomveiraOne of the mechanisms proposed by which H. pylori causes gastric cancer (GC) is through DNA damage due to chronic inflammation. Genomic integrity is guaranteed by repair enzymes such as APE-1, OGG-1, and PARP-1. Host genetic polymorphisms associated with the bacterial strain may influence the ability to repair the damage, contributing to the development of H. pylori-associated GC. The aim of this study was to d...
