Swine and poultry pathogens: The complete genome sequences of two strains of My...
Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza; Ferreira, Henrique Bunselmeyer; Bizarro, Cristiano Valim; Bonatto, Sandro L.; Carvalho, Marcos O.; Pinto, Paulo MarcosThis work reports the results of analyses of three complete mycoplasma genomes, a pathogenic (7448) and a nonpathogenic (J) strain of the swine pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a strain of the avian pathogen Mycoplasma synoviae; the genome sizes of the three strains were 920,079 bp, 897,405 bp, and 799,476 bp, respectively. These genomes were compared with other sequenced mycoplasma genomes reported in the...
Purification and ultrastructural localization of a copper–zinc superoxide dismu...
Bittencourt, Sílvia Elena Tolfo; Castro, Luiza Amaral de; Farias, Sandra Estrazulas; Báo, Sônia Nair; Schrank, Augusto; Vainstein, Marilene HenningThe entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae contains three superoxide dismutases. One of these enzymes was purified and partially characterized as a CuZnSOD. The enzyme has an estimated molecular mass of 30 690 Da and a specific activity of 3838.89 U mg−1. SDS-PAGE and 2D gels show a single band of protein in the fractions eluted from the gel filtration column with a molecular mass of 20 000 and ∼15 000 ...
