Screening and characterization of prophages in Desulfovibrio genomes
Crispim, Josicelli Souza; Dias, Roberto Sousa; Vidigal, Pedro Marcus Pereira; Sousa, Maíra Paula de; Silva, Cynthia Canêdo da; Santana, Mateus FerreiraBacteria of the genus Desulfovibrio belong to the group of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB). SRB generate significant liabilities in the petroleum industry, mainly due to their ability to microbiologically induce corrosion, biofilm formation and H2S production. Bacteriophages are an alternative control method for SRB, whose information for this group of bacteria however, is scarce. The present study developed a...
Desulfovibrio alaskensis prophages and their possible involvement in the horizo...
Crispim, Josicelli Souza; Dias, Roberto Sousa; Laguardia, Clara Nogueira; Araújo, Larissa Cristina; Silva, Jéssica Duarte daDesulfovibrio alaskensis is a Gram-negative bacterial species that belongs to the group of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) and presents prophages in genomes, a common characteristic of the genus Desulfovibrio. Genetic material can be transported by outer membrane vesicles, however, no data regarding the production of these vesicles has been reported for D. alaskensis. To verify the expression of D. alaskensis ...
Differential cellular immune response of Galleria mellonella to Actinobacillus ...
Blanco, Luis Andrés Arteaga; Crispim, Josicelli Souza; Fernandes, Kenner Morais; Oliveira, Leandro Licursi de; Pereira, Monalessa FábiaIn the present work, we have investigate the cellular immune response of Galleria mellonella larvae against three strains of the gram-negative bacterium Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae: low-virulence (780), high-virulence (1022) and the serotype 8 reference strain (R8). Prohemocytes, plasmatocytes, granulocytes, oenocytoids and spherulocytes were distinguished according to their size and morphology, their molec...
