Influence of Sex and a High-Fiber Diet on the Gut Microbiome of Alentejano Pigs...
Albuquerque, A.; Garrido, N.; Charneca, R.; Egas, C.; Martin, L.; Ramos, A.; Costa, F.; Marmelo, C.; Martins, J.M.This study investigates the influence of sex and a dietary transition on the gut microbiota of a local Portuguese pig breed. Three groups of male Alentejano pigs (n = 10 each) were raised between ~40 and 160 kg LW. Group C included pigs that were surgically castrated, while the I group included intact ones; both were fed with commercial diets. The third group, IExp, included intact pigs that were fed commercial...
In silico prediction of the enzymes involved in the degradation of the herbicid...
Lopes, A. R.; Bunin, E.; Viana, A. T.; Froufe, H.; Muñoz-Merida, A.; Pinho, D.; Figueiredo, J; Barroso, C.; Vaz-Moreira, I.; Bellanger, X.; Egas, C.Gulosibacter molinativorax ON4 T is the only known organism to produce molinate hydrolase (MolA), which catalyses the breakdown of the thiocarbamate herbicide into azepane-1-carboxylic acid (ACA) and ethanethiol. A combined genomic and transcriptomic strategy was used to fully characterize the strain ON4 T genome, particularly the molA genetic environment, to identify the potential genes encoding ACA degradatio...
Bioconversion of cellulosic biomass wastes by Azorean hot spring bacterial cons...
Teixeira, M. B.; Cabral, C.; Toubarro, D.; Alves, M. M.; Pinho, D.; Egas, C.; Simões, N.Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is a fundamental step in the carbon cycle and in the industrial bioconversion of biomass to biofuels. In nature cellulose hydrolysis is often catalysed by enzymes from complex microbial communities, nevertheless these studies are limited to a few isolates. Actually the production of biofuels from biomass became a necessity and novel pre-treatments are mandatory to be discovered...
Complete genome sequence of the Radiation-Resistant bacterium Rubrobacter radio...
Egas, C.; Barroso, C. M.; Froufe, H. J. C.; Pacheco, J.; Albuquerque, L.; Costa, M. S. daRubrobacter radiotolerans strain RSPS-4 is a slightly thermophilic member of the phylum "Actinobacteria" isolated from a hot spring in São Pedro do Sul, Portugal. This aerobic and halotolerant bacterium is also extremely resistant to gamma and UV radiation, which are the main reasons for the interest in sequencing its genome. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of strain RSPS-4 as well as its assembly...
