Study of the association between genotypic potential and linoleic acid toleranc...

Probiotic bacteria have been shown to produce the bioactive conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) from linoleic acid (LA), this being associated with a detoxifying mechanism. Primers employed in genotypic selection are generally species-specific. Therefore, this work aimed to identify CLA producers by previously screening genes encoding enzymes involved in LA isomerization with primers designed based on conserved moti...

MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL: A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occur...

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

Perspectives on the development of CLA/CLNA-enriched milk through in situ micro...

Over the past decade several food-derived lipids with potential bioactive properties to be used in the development of innovative functional foods have been identified. These include conjugated linoleic (CLA) and conjugated linolenic (CLNA) acids with well described anti- inflammatory, anti-obesity and anticarcinogenic properties. Limited availability in their natural sources (e.g. ruminants’ milk and meat or ve...

First record of the bushy-tailed opossum, Glironia venusta, Thomas, 1912, (Dide...

Um indivíduo de Glironia venusta (Didelphimorphia), foi observado na Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke, Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil. Existem apenas 17 outros registros publicados desta espécie de marsupial, a maioria da década de 80. No Brasil, G. venusta havia sido registrada em três outras localidades, no Pará, Amazonas e Rondônia. Com este registro em uma das áreas mais intensivamente estudadas na Amazônia, ganha...

Does the presence of linoleate isomerase gene implies conjugated linoleic acid ...

Fish invading deserts: non-native species in arid Moroccan rivers

1. Desert rivers are highly dynamic systems in which dry periods, frequently involving the cessation of superficial flow, alternate with violent flash floods. In spite of their territorial importance and high functional and biological diversity, desert rivers have received little attention in the scientific literature, especially in Northern Africa. 2. This study investigated the distribution of non‐native fish...
