Bacterial Metabolites Produced Under Iron Limitation Kill Pinewood Nematode and...
Proença, Diogo Neves; Heine, Thomas; Senges, Christoph H R; Bandow, Julia E; Morais, Paula V; Tischler, DirkPine Wilt Disease (PWD) is caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pinewood nematode, and affects several species of pine trees worldwide. The ecosystem of the Pinus pinaster trees was investigated as a source of bacteria producing metabolites affecting this ecosystem: P. pinaster trees as target-plant, nematode as disease effector and its insect-vector as shuttle. For example, metals and metal-carrying compo...
Computer-aided comparison of protein electrophoretic patterns for grouping and ...
Ferreira, A.C.; Morais, Paula V; Alcobia Gomes, Célia Margarida; Da Costa, MiltonThe microflora of a natural mineral water was studied immediately after bottling (T0) and after 7 d storage (T7) during 6 months, and isolates were clustered by SDS-PAGE of whole-cell protein profiles. Isolates from each cluster were further characterized by API 20NE, fatty acid composition and quinone profiles. The numerical analysis of the electrophoregrams of all bacteria isolated from the mineral water form...
