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...

Guedes, Rafael Lucas Muniz; Rodrigues, Carla Monadeli Filgueira; Coatnoan, Nicolas; Cosson, Alain; Cadioli, Fabiano Antonio [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:36:08Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-01-01; Trypanosoma vivax is a parasite widespread across Africa and South America. Immunological methods using recombinant antigens have been developed aiming at specific and sensitive detection of infections caused by T. vivax. Here, we sequenced for the first time the transcriptome of a virulent T. vivax str...
Comparative genomics of the major fungal agents of human and animal Sporotricho...
Teixeira, Marcus de Melo; Almeida, Luiz G. P. de; Barreira, Paula Kubitschek; Alves, Fernanda L.; Kioshima, Érika Seki; Abadio, Ana Karina RodriguesBackground: The fungal genus Sporothrix includes at least four human pathogenic species. One of these species, S. brasiliensis, is the causal agent of a major ongoing zoonotic outbreak of sporotrichosis in Brazil. Elsewhere, sapronoses are caused by S. schenckii and S. globosa. The major aims on this comparative genomic study are: 1) to explore the presence of virulence factors in S. schenckii and S. brasiliens...
Esteróis e triterpenos de Ganoderma australe (Fr.) Pat. com perspectivas de uso...
Gerber, Alexandra LehmkuhlDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Biológicas.; Com o objetivo de verificar a presença de triterpenóides bioativos em G. australe foram coletados e identificados 15 basidiomas, dos quais também foram isoladas culturas dicarióticas. A partir de alguns desses basidiomas foi obtido um extrato metanólico, que foi particionado em hexano, clorofórmio e acetato de etila...
