Draft genome sequence and comparative genomic analysis of Penicillium pancosmiu...
Roxo, Ivo; Amaral, A. Luís; Portugal, António; Trovão, JoãoThe draft genome sequence and main genomic features of Penicillium pancosmium MUM 23.27, isolated from Portuguese raw honey are reported. The genome size is 34.82 Mb, containing a 48.99% GC content, 11,394 genes, with 39 rRNAs and 147 tRNAs/tmRNAs. Twenty-six BGCs were predicted with four exhibiting significant similarities with YWA1, chaetoglobosin A/chaetoglobosin C, squalestatin S1, and nidulanin A. Moreover...
A checklist of fungi isolated from honey (2000–2022)
Roxo, Ivo; Amaral, António Luís; Portugal, António; Trovão, JoãoMycological studies focusing on fungal species thriving on honey related products have a series of critical applications ranging from the expansion of basic scientific knowledge, the exploration of their industrial utilization, understanding their contributions to food spoilage and even environmental pathogen monitoring. During the last two decades, several works dealing with the isolation and characterization ...
A preliminary metabarcoding analysis of Portuguese raw honeys
Roxo, Ivo; Amaral, A. Luís; Portugal, António; Trovão, JoãoThe microbial diversity in Portuguese raw honeys remains largely uncharacterized, constituting a serious knowledge gap in one of the country's most important resources. This work provides an initial investigation with amplicon metabarcoding analysis of two Lavandula spp. from different geographical regions of Portugal and one Eucalyptus spp. honey. The results obtained allowed to identify that each honey harbor...
Development of new preventive strategies for pine pitch canker caused by Fusari...
Fernandes, Luís; Paiva, Diana; Roxo, Ivo; Fernandes, Ana Rita; Ribeiro, Dina; Ribeiro, Henrique; Portugal, AntónioFusarium circinatum is one of the many threats to forests and Pinus nurseries all over the world, being classified as a quarantine organism by several organizations and governing bodies, such as the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and the European Union (EU), with associated phytosanitary measures in place to prevent its spread through the various means of dispersal. One such mea...
