Exploiting potential probiotic lactic acid bacteria isolated from Chlorella vul...
Ribeiro, Mónica; Maciel, Cláudia; Cruz, Pedro; Darmancier, Helena; Nogueira, Teresa; Costa, Margarida; Laranjeira, Joana; Morais, Rui M. S. C.Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been documented as potential vitamin B12 producers and may constitute an exogenous source of cobalamin for the microalga Chlorella vulgaris, which has been described as being able to perform vitamin uptake. Hence, there is an interest in discovering novel B12-producing probiotic LAB. Therefore, the purpose of the current work was to perform a phenotype–genotype analysis of the vi...

Are Virulence and Antibiotic Resistance Genes Linked? A Comprehensive Analysis ...
Darmancier, Helena; Domingues, Célia P. F.; Rebelo, João S.; Amaro, Ana; Dionisio, Francisco; Pothier, Joel; Serra, Octavio; Nogueira, TeresaAlthough pathogenic bacteria are the targets of antibiotics, these drugs also affect hundreds of commensal or mutualistic species. Moreover, the use of antibiotics is not only restricted to the treatment of infections but is also largely applied in agriculture and in prophylaxis. During this work, we tested the hypothesis that there is a correlation between the number and the genomic location of antibiotic resi...
