Bacterioplankton community diversity of a portuguese aquifer system (Maciço Cal...
Figueiredo, Daniela R. de; Melo, Maria T. Condesso de; Saraiva, Pedro P.; Oliveira, Joana; Gonçalves, Ana M. M.; Reboleira, Ana Sofia P. S.Climate change may increase the vulnerability of aquifers to contamination through extreme precipitation and extended drought periods. Therefore, the understanding of groundwater ecosystem dynamics is crucial, with bacterial assemblages playing a major role in biogeochemical cycles. The present research describes a geospatial study targeting the bacterial community structure of groundwaters from the largest kar...

Marine Sponge and Octocoral-Associated Bacteria Show Versatile Secondary Metabo...
Almeida, João F; Marques, Matilde S.; Oliveira, Vanessa; Egas, Conceição; Mil-Homens, Dalila; Viana, Romeu; Cleary, Daniel F. R.; Huang, Yusheng MMarine microbiomes are prolific sources of bioactive natural products of potential pharmaceutical value. This study inspected two culture collections comprising 919 host-associated marine bacteria belonging to 55 genera and several thus-far unclassified lineages to identify isolates with potentially rich secondary metabolism and antimicrobial activities. Seventy representative isolates had their genomes mined f...
Bacterioplankton community shifts during a spring bloom of Aphanizomenon gracil...
de Figueiredo, Daniela R. de; Lopes, Ana R.; Pereira, Mário J.; Polónia, Ana R. M.; Castro, Bruno B.; Gonçalves, Fernando; Gomes, Newton C. M.Climate change is enhancing the frequency of cyanobacterial blooms not only during summer but also in spring and autumn, leading to increased ecological impacts. The bacterioplankton community composition (BCC), in particular, is deeply affected by these blooms, although at the same time BCC can also play important roles in blooms’ dynamics. However, more information is still needed regarding BCC during species...

Oliveira, Vanessa; Polónia, Ana R. M.; Cleary, Daniel F. R.; Huang, Yusheng M.; de Voogd, Nicole J.; Keller-Costa, Tina; Costa, RodrigoPlasmid-mediated transfer of genes can have direct consequences in several biological processes within sponge microbial communities. However, very few studies have attempted genomic and functional characterization of plasmids from marine host-associated microbial communities in general and those of sponges in particular. In the present study, we used an endogenous plasmid isolation method to obtain plasmids fro...

Jeliazkov, Alienor; Mijatovic, Darko; Chantepie, Stéphane; Andrew, Nigel; Arlettaz, Raphaël; Barbaro, Luc; Barsoum, Nadia; Bartonova, AlenaThe use of functional information in the form of species traits plays an important role in explaining biodiversity patterns and responses to environmental changes. Although relationships between species composition, their traits, and the environment have been extensively studied on a case-by-case basis, results are variable, and it remains unclear how generalizable these relationships are across ecosystems, tax...
