Processo de desinfecção de água usando radiação solar e um fotocatalizador seguro: um estudo para validação do seu uso em populações brasileiras através de técnicas in silico, in vitro e in vivo
Water disinfection process using solar radiation and a safe photocatalyst: a study for validating its use in brazilian populations through in silico, in vitro, and in vivo techniques

O estudo investigou a melhoria da técnica de Desinfecção Solar de água (SODIS) pela adição de Azul de Metileno (AM), visando acelerar a descontaminação microbiológica de água, especialmente em regiões com baixa incidência solar. A água contaminada por microrganismos é uma das principais cau...

Bacterial diversity in high Andean grassland soils disturbed with Lepidium meyenii crops evaluated by metagenomics

Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
Soil quality is usually determined by its physical-chemical characteristics without taking into account the bacterial communities that play a fundamental role in the chemical decomposition of plant nutrients. In this context, the objective of the study was to evaluate bacterial diversity in high Andean g...

Microbiota intestinal y su relación con agentes oportunistas vinculados a las epidemias

Resumen Existen epidemias silenciosas asociadas al estrés y a los malos hábitos de alimentación, tan importantes como las epidemias tradicionales asociadas a la pobreza, a problemas geográficos y climáticos. Numerosos estudios se suman al importante papel de un patrón estable de la microbiota intes...

Metagenomics approach to identify lignocellulose-degrading enzymes in the gut microbiota of the Chinese bamboo rat cecum

BACKGROUND: Lignocellulose is considered a renewable organic material, but the industrial production of biofuel from lignocellulose is challenging because of the lack of highly active hydrolytic enzymes. The guts of herbivores contain many symbiotic microorganisms that have evolved to hydrolyze plant lig...

Bacterial communities in fecal samples of myotis chiloensis from Southern, Chile

Int. j. morphol; 39 (1), 2021
SUMMARY: The insectivorous bat Myotis chiloensis is endemic of South America. Even though potentially pathogenic bacterial species of Mycoplasma have been reported from this species, there are no further studies regarding the bacterial communities they harbor. This may provide important insights for the ...

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for diagnostically challenging infectious diseases in patients with acute leukemia

Braz. j. infect. dis; 25 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT This report shows the contribution of next-generation metagenomic sequencing (mNGS) as an alternative to challenging diagnostic infection in immunosuppressed individuals. Herein, we report three acute leukemia patients who developed severe invasive infections due to different etiologies: fungi, ...

Microbiota perinatal: Revisión de su importancia en la salud del recién nacido

Arch. argent. pediatr; 118 (3), 2020
La metagenómica en el estudio de los ecosistemas bacterianos intestinales ha permitido definir un perfil genético funcional estándar en el recién nacido, de forma que un ecosistema bacteriano será tanto más “normal” cuanto más se parezca su perfil genético funcional a un estándar. El desarro...

Next generation sequencing and microbiome's taxonomical characterization of frozen soil of north western Himalayas of Jammu and Kashmir, India

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, microbial genome sequencing has been restrained to the species grown in pure culture. The development of culture-independent techniques over the last decade allows scientists to sequence microbial communities directly from environmental samples. Metagenomics is the study of com...

Investigación traslacional en microbioma (InTraMic): un área de interés común y creciente en el IMTIB, Hospital Italiano e Instituto Universitario
Translational research in microbiome (InTraMic): an area of common and growing interest at IMTIB, Hospital Italiano and Instituto Universitario

Se estima que aproximadamente 100 trillones de microorganismos (incluidos bacterias, virus y hongos) residen en el intestino humano adulto y que el total del material genético del microbioma es 100 veces superior al del genoma humano. Esta comunidad, conocida como microbioma se adquiere al momento del n...

Bacterial community structure in soils contaminated with electronic waste pollutants from Delhi NCR, India

Background: Microbial community analysis of electronic waste (e-waste)-polluted environments is of interest to understand the effect of toxic e-waste pollutants on the soil microbial community and to evaluate novel microorganisms resisting the toxic environment. The present study aims to investigate the ...
