Diversity and comparative genomic analysis of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidi...
Gimranov, Emil; Santos, Marino; Monteiro, Rodrigo; Azeredo, Joana; Santos, Conceição; Moura, LuísaPseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae is a pandemic agent of bacterial canker in kiwifruit. The virulence of bacteria can be mediated by horizontal gene transfer in a co-evolutionary process with other microorganisms, enriching their genetic repertoire and enhancing adaptation strategies and fitness. Temperate bacteriophages can integrate into bacterial genomes, increasing genetic diversity and potentially improv...
Lytic properties and genomic analysis of bacteriophage Brt_Psa3, targeting Pseu...
Gimranov, Emil; Oliveira, Hugo Alexandre Mendes; Santos, Conceição; Moura, Luísa; Azeredo, JoanaPseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is the causative agent of bacterial canker in kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.). Psa biovar 3 is the most prevalent and virulent, causing frequent and severe outbreaks worldwide. While current treatments have low efficacy, bacteriophages emerge as possible environmentally safe alternative biocontrol agents. In this study, bacteriophage Brt\_Psa3 was isolated from the soil of a...
Low Doses of Anatase and Rutile Nanoparticles Differently Modulate Photosynthes...
Mariz-Ponte, Nuno; Sario, Sara; Mendes, Rafael J.; Couto, Márcio; Gimranov, Emil; Santos, Marino; Correia, Cristiana V.; Gomes, AniciaIndustrial applications of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are wide, and their use in nano-fertilizing technology has been proposed in the last few years. Bioactivity evaluation of different TiO2 NPs formulations is therefore crucial, not only to select the most appropriate formulation but also to validate potential agro-applications. In the current work, we compared the bioactivity of the two most us...
