Business operators’ perception of the impact of the portuguese way of St. James
Remoaldo, Paula C.; Duque, Eduardo; Ribeiro, Vítor; Ribeiro, José Cadima; Lopes, Hélder Silva; Ferreira, Sandro; Faria, CátiaThis research aims to analyse business operators’ perception of the impact of the Portuguese Way of St. James and to assess the landscape situation along a total section of 115 kilometres. Perceptions were collected in a survey of 112 small operators between 2020 and 2021. The diversity and singular components of the landscape make it a pleasant route to experience, where pilgrims have the possibility to improv...
Identificação de dificuldades parentais na alimentação de crianças dos 6 meses ...
Faria, Cátia; Valente, Ana; Alves, Emília; Simões, Catarina D.Os hábitos e preferências alimentares são adquiridos, construídos e condicionados desde os primeiros anos de vida [1]. Assim, é de extrema importância desenvolver comportamentos alimentares saudáveis desde a infância [2]. A falta de informação dos pais sobre alimentação em idade pediátrica é uma realidade corrente. OBJECTIVO: Identificar as principais dificuldades sentidas pelos pais no momento da refeição dos ...
Comparative study of the microbial diversity of bulk paddy soil of two rice fie...
Lopes, Ana R.; Faria, Cátia; Prieto-Fernández, Ángeles; Trasar-Cepeda, Carmen; Manaia, Célia M.; Nunes, Olga C.Two adjacent paddies of an experimental rice field, subjected to organic and conventional farming, were characterized aiming the comparative assessment of microbiological variations occurring in the bulk paddy soil over the rice cycle. This study comprehended the simultaneous characterization of general physicochemical soil properties [total carbon and nitrogen, pH (H2O and KCl), C:N ratio and water content], b...
Shinella fusca sp. nov., isolated from domestic waste compost
Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Faria, Cátia; Lopes, Ana R.; Svensson, Liselott A.; Moore, Edward R. B.; Nunes, Olga C.; Manaia, Célia M.A bacterium, designated strain DC-196T, isolated from kitchen refuse compost was analysed by using a polyphasic approach. Strain DC-196T was characterized as a Gram-negative short rod that was catalase- and oxidase-positive, and able to grow at 10–40 6C, pH 6–9 and in NaCl concentrations as high as 3%. Chemotaxonomically, C18 : 1 was observed to be the predominant cellular fatty acid and ubiquinone 10 (Q10) was...
Microbacterium invictum sp. nov., isolated from homemade compost
Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Lopes, Ana R.; Faria, Cátia; Sproer, Cathrin; Schumann, Peter; Nunes, Olga C; Manaia, Célia M.Strain DC-200T was isolated from homemade compost produced from kitchen refuse and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The isolate was a Gram-positive motile short rod, facultatively aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative, and was able to grow at 10–37 6C, pH 6.0–9.5 and with up to 5% of NaCl. The peptidoglycan was of the type B1 alpha and the muramic acid residues were glycolylated. The major f...
Antibiotic resistance in coagulase negative staphylococci isolated from wastewa...
Faria, Cátia; Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Serapicos, Eduarda; Manaia, Célia M.This study reports the antibiotic resistance patterns of coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) isolated from a drinking water treatment plant (WTP), a drinking water distribution network, responsible for supplying water to the consumers (WDN), and a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), responsible for receiving and treating domestic residual effluents. Genotyping and the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstra...
Sphingobium vermicomposti sp. nov., isolated from vermicompost
Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Faria, Cátia; Lopes, Ana R.; Svensson, Liselott; Falsen, Enevold; Moore, Edward R. B.; Ferreira, António C. Silva; Nunes, Olga C.Strain VC-230T was isolated from homemade vermicompost produced from kitchen waste. The isolate was a Gram-negative-staining, catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile rod-shaped bacterium able to grow at 15–37 6C and pH 6–8. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain VC-230T was determined to belong to the family Sphingomonadaceae by its clustering with type strains of the genus Sphingobium, with Sph...
Paenibacillus humicus sp. nov., isolated from poultry litter compost
Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Faria, Cátia; Nobre, M. Fernanda; Schumann, Peter; Nunes, Olga C.; Manaia, Célia M.Two bacterial strains, PC-142 and PC-147T, isolated from poultry litter compost, were characterized with respect to their phenetic and phylogenetic characteristics. The isolates were endospore-forming rods that were reddish in colour after Gram staining. They were catalaseand oxidase-positive, were able to degrade starch and gelatin and grew at 15–40 6C and pH 5.5–10.0. The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-...
