Proteolytic Bacillus sp. Isolation and Identification from Tannery Alkaline Baths
Lageiro, Maria Manuela; Simões, Fernanda; Alvarenga, Nuno; Delgado dos Reis, Alberto JoséABSTRACT: The application of microbial alkaline proteases holds significant potential for eco-sustainable industrial processes by reducing chemical usage and lowering the costs of effluent treatment. In the search for novel proteases with industrial relevance, several microbial strains were isolated from alkaline baths of the Portuguese tannery agroindustry. The most promising protease-producing strains were se...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Wa...
Guimarães, Joana Bagoin; Nunes, Cátia; Pereira, Graça; Gomes, Ana; Nhantumbo, Nascimento; Cabrita, Paula; Matos, José; Simões, FernandaAbstract: Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is currently a legume crop of minor importance in Europe but a highly relevant staple crop in Africa and the second most cultivated legume in Mozambique. In Portugal and Mozambique, cowpea’s phenotypic and genetic variation has been maintained locally by farmers in some areas. We used the molecular markers SSR, SilicoDArT and SNP to analyze the genetic diversity a...
An improved reference genome and first organelle genomes of Quercus suber
Usié, Ana; Serra, Octávio; Barros, Pedro M.; Barbosa, Pedro; Leão, Célia; Capote, Tiago; Almeida, Tânia; Rodrigues, Leandra; Carrasquinho, IsabelCork oak (Quercus suber L.) is an ecologically and economically important evergreen tree species native to the Mediterranean region and widespread in southwest Europe and northwest Africa. An improved genome assembly of cork oak using a combination of Illumina and PacBio sequencing is presented in this study. The assembled genome contains 2351 scaffolds longer than 1000 bp, accounting for 765.7 Mbp of genome si...
Haplotype diversity patterns in Quercus suber (Fagaceae) inferred from cpDNA se...
Sousa, Filipe; Viegas, Mariana Bray; Costa, Joana; Marques, Isabel; Pina-Martins; Simões, Fernanda; Matos, José; Glushkova, Maria; Miguel, CéliaChloroplast genome diversity in cork oak (Quercus suber) is characterised by the occurrence of haplotypes that are akin to those found in other Mediterranean oak species, particularly in Q. ilex and Q. rotundifolia, suggesting the possible presence of an introgressed chloroplast lineage. To further investigate this pattern, we reconstructed chloroplast haplotypes by sequencing four chloroplast markers (cpDNA), ...

A multidisciplinary study of Iberian Chalcolithic dogs
Blaschikoff, Ludmilla; Daza-Perea, Arantxa; Requicha, João; Detry, Cleia; Rasteiro, Rita; Guimarães, Sílvia; Ureña, Irene; Serra, Octávio; Schmidt, RyanDomesticated dogs have been present in the Iberian Peninsula long before other domesticated species, back to the late Palaeolithic period. Their origin is still uncertain, but dogs were already well established during the Chalcolithic period (ca. 5000–4000 BP). This study employed a multidisciplinary approach comprising osteometric, radiographic and palaeogenomic analyses to characterize Chalcolithic Iberian Ca...
Kinship Analysis and Pedigree Reconstruction of a Natural Regenerated Cork Oak ...
Mendes, Bruna; Sampaio, Teresa; Antunes, Marta; Magalhães, Hugo; Costa e Silva, Filipe; Borges, Carla; Simões, Fernanda; Usié, AnaCork oak (Quercus suber L.) is a valuable forest species in the western Mediterranean Basin due to its ecological value and the production of cork (a renewable natural material). Cork quality depends on the genetic background and cork oak environment, which has long been recognized. As no cork oak genetic trials with pedigree information were available, the inference of the genetic relatedness between individua...

Sousa, Filipe; Costa, Joana; Ribeiro, Carla; Varandas, Marta; Pina-Martins, Francisco; Simões, Fernanda; Matos, José; Glushkova, Maria; Miguel, CéliaQuercus suber L. is a sclerophyllous tree species native to the western Mediterranean, a region that is considered highly vulnerable to increased temperatures and severe dry conditions due to environmental changes. Understanding the population structure and demographics of Q. suber is essential in order to anticipate whether populations at greater risk and the species as a whole have the genetic background and ...
