Comparative metagenome of a stream impacted by the urbanization phenomenon

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Rivers and streams are important reservoirs of freshwater for human consumption. These ecosystems are threatened by increasing urbanization, because raw sewage discharged into them alters their nutrient content and may affect the composition of their microbial community. In the present study, we...

Fusarium and Aspergillus mycotoxins contaminating wheat silage for dairy cattle feeding in Uruguay

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Wheat is one of the most important cultivated cereals in Uruguay for human consumption; however, when harvest yields are low, wheat is usually used in ensiling for animal feeding. Ensiling is a forage preservation method that allows for storage during extended periods of time while maintaining n...

Anaerobic microbiota: spatial-temporal changes in the sediment of a tropical coastal lagoon with ephemeral inlet in the Gulf of Mexico

Rev. biol. trop; 64 (4), 2016
Abstract:Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and methanogenic archaea (MA) share common niches in coastal sediments during the terminal phases of the anaerobic mineralization of organic matter. The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatial - temporal variation of SRB and MA in the sediments of a tropi...

Microbial interactions: ecology in a molecular perspective

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (supl.1), 2016
ABSTRACT The microorganism-microorganism or microorganism-host interactions are the key strategy to colonize and establish in a variety of different environments. These interactions involve all ecological aspects, including physiochemical changes, metabolite exchange, metabolite conversion, signaling, ch...

Soil pretreatment and fast cell lysis for direct polymerase chain reaction from forest soils for terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of fungal communities

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Humic substances in soil DNA samples can influence the assessment of microbial diversity and community composition. Using multiple steps during or after cell lysis adds expenses, is time-consuming, and causes DNA loss. A pretreatment of soil samples and a single step DNA extraction may improve e...

Microbioma humano y microbioma oral. Una revisión

Rev. cient. odontol; 4 (2), 2016
EL microbioma humano es definido como el genoma colectivo de una población compuesta por bacterias, hongos, virus y protozoos que residen en los diferentes nichos ecológicos del cuerpo humano. El microbioma contribuye a mantener las funciones metabólica, proteger el cuerpo contra los patógenos, es es...

Microbiota bacteriana asociada al papel moneda de circulación en Colombia

Infectio; 20 (4), 2016
Diariamente los seres humanos están en interacción con objetos de uso continuo, como el papel moneda, sin el conocimiento de que estos almacenan microorganismos y de que nos exponemos al contacto con potenciales patógenos. La composición de la comunidad bacteriana en un billete colombiano fue determi...

Characterization of the microbiota of the skin and oral cavity of Oreochromis niloticus

Introduction: Fish are usually exposed to higher microbial loads than land or air animals. The microbiota of fish mostly consists of Pseudomonas spp., Aeromonas spp., Shewanella putrefasciens, Acinetobacter spp. and Moraxella spp. Objective: to analyze the oral cavity, and skin tissue microbiota on the N...

Is Malassezia nana the main species in horses' ear canal microbiome?

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to characterize genotypically Malassezia spp. isolated from the external ear canal of healthy horses. Fifty-five horses, 39 (70.9%) males and 16 (29.1%) females, from different breeds and adults were studied. External ear canals were cleaned and a sterile cotton s...
