Comparative cytogenetics of serrasalmidae (Teleostei: Characiformes): The relat...

Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:45:47Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-10-01; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Amazonas; Serrasalmidae has high morphological and chromosomal diversity. Based on molecular hypotheses, the family is currently divided into two subfamilies, Colossomatinae and Serrasalminae, with Serrasalminae composed of two tribes: Myleini (comprising most ...

Ocorrência de dois citotipos em Serrasalmus spilopleura Kner, 1858 (characiform...

Descreve-se pela primeira vez o cariótipo de exemplares de S. spilopleura da Amazônia Central. Todos os indivíduos analisados apresentaram número diplóide igual a 60 cromossomos, em conformidade com os dados da espécie obtidos em indivíduos da bacia do Paraná-Paraguai. No entanto, dois citótipos foram encontrados em simpatria na região de confluência dos rios Negro e Solimões, os quais não estão relacionados a ...

Esterase-D and chromosome patterns in Central Amazon piranha (Serrasalmus rhomb...

This study presents additional genetic data on piranha (Serrasalmus rhombeus Linnaeus, 1766) complex previously diagnosed due to the presence of distinct cytotypes 2n = 58 and 2n = 60. Three esterase-D enzyme loci (Est-D1, Est-D2 and Est-D3) were examined and complemented with chromosomal data from 66 piranha specimens collected from Lake Catalão. For all specimens the Est-D1 and Est-D2 loci were monomorphic. I...

Identification of Chromobacterium violaceum genes with potential biotechnologic...

Chromobacterium violaceum is a Gram-negative bacterium found in a wide variety of tropical and subtropical ecosystems. The complete genome sequence of C. violaceum ATCC 12472 is now available, and it has considerable biotechnological potential for various applications, such as environmental detoxification, as well as medical and agricultural use. We examined the biotechnological potential of C. violaceum for en...

Intriguing evidence of translocations in Discus fish (Symphysodon, Cichlidae) a...

As part of a program to understand the genetics of Amazonian ornamental fish, classical cytogenetics was used to analyze Symphysodon aequifasciatus, S. discus and S. haraldi, popular and expensive aquarium fishes that are endemic to the Amazon basin. Mitotic analyses in Symphysodon have shown some odd patterns compared with other Neotropical cichlids. We have confirmed that Symphysodon species are characterized...

Toll-like receptor-1 single-nucleotide polymorphism 1805T/G is associated with ...

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by mycobacterial species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, is a serious global health issue. Brazil is among the 22 countries with the highest number of TB cases, and the state of Amazonas has the highest incidence of TB cases in the country. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important pattern recognition receptors of the innate immunity and play a key role in orchestrating an ef...

Analysis of toxicity on Bacillus sphaericus from amazonian soils to Anopheles d...

Bioensaios sob condições de laboratório foram realizados em larvas de Anopheles darlingi e Culex quinquefasciatus, visando determinar a atividade larvicida de Bacillus sphaericus. Para estimar a toxicidade através da concentração letal mediana (CL50) e a potência das estirpes em relação à estirpe padrão 2362, foi realizada a análise de probit utilizando o programa POLO-PC. Os resultados da CL50 apontaram alta e...

Karyological evidence for interspecific hybridization between Cichla monoculus ...

Cichla monoculus, Cichla temensis (peacock bass or tucunaré), and its presumed hybrids, were cytogenetically analyzed. The fish were collected at three distinct sites in the central Amazon basin, namely in the Uatumã (C. monoculus, C. temensis and their natural hybrid), Jaú (C. temensis), and Solimões rivers (C. monoculus). The two species and the natural hybrid showed the same diploid number, 2n=48 acrocentric...
