Brucella ceti in Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in Portugal—Characterizati...

<jats:p>This study investigates Brucella ceti infection in marine mammals stranded along the Lisbon and Tagus Valley coast between 2022 and mid-2024, marking the first report of Brucella presence in Portuguese waters. Out of 59 examined marine mammals, B. ceti was isolated in three common dolphins (5.1%), a prevalence rate consistent with previous studies from other coastlines. PCR-based detection indicated a h...

Exploring the Gastrointestinal Microbiome of Eurasian Griffon Vultures (Gyps fu...

The Eurasian griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), a widely distributed scavenger, plays a crucial role in ecosystem health by consuming decomposing carcasses. Scavengers have adapted to avoid disease from the rotting carrion they feed on, probably through a specialized gut microbiome. This study aimed to characterize the gut microbiome of G. fulvus (n = 8) present in two rehabilitation centers in mainland Portugal an...

Marine microbial community taxonomic and functional indicators to volcanic and ...

In recent years, the growth in Antarctic tourism has stimulated research on the anthropogenic impacts on the region, boosted by advances in OMIC technologies applied to polar microbial communities. This study aimed to assess the human impacts on marine prokaryotic and viral communities of Deception Island by identifying potential taxonomic, functional, and resistome indicators of both anthropogenic and natural/...

Biochar supplementation affects the microbiome of recycled manure solids for co...

The widespread use of Recycled Manure Solids (RMS) as cow bedding material is not without risks, since cattle manure may act as a vehicle for pathogenic and antimicrobial resistant bacteria dissemination. Thus, our aim was to evaluate RMS-supplemented with a pine biochar produced in Portugal as a new cow bedding material, since the use of biochar has been shown to have the potential to mitigate the impact of re...

DIS3L2 knockdown impairs key oncogenic properties of colorectal cancer cells vi...

DIS3L2 degrades different types of RNAs in an exosome-independent manner including mRNAs and several types of non-coding RNAs. DIS3L2-mediated degradation is preceded by the addition of nontemplated uridines at the 3’end of its targets by the terminal uridylyl transferases 4 and 7. Most of the literature that concerns DIS3L2 characterizes its involvement in several RNA degradation pathways, however, there is so...

IntegraBrasil - Mobile Application Prototype

The paradigm of Society 5.0 assumes the availability of Information and Communication Technologies at the service of People. Given this assumption, the paper presents a prototype that aims to facilitate the dissemination of information from an Association to contribute to the integration of migrants in a Portuguese city, thus disseminating the various services provided to expedite their integration and inclusio...

A New Perspective for Vineyard Terroir Identity: Looking for Microbial Indicato...

Grapevine is one of the most important fruit crops worldwide, being Portugal one of the top wine producers. It is well established that wine sensory characteristics from a particular region are defined by the physiological responses of the grapevine to its environment and thus, the concept of terroir in viticulture was established. Among all the factors that contribute to terroir definition, soil microorganisms...
