Structure and genetic diversity of Anacardium humile (Anacardiaceae): a tropical shrub

Anacardium humile Saint Hilaire is a tropical shrub native to the Cerrado biome. It is a fruiting species with biological, medicinal, and socioeconomic significance. Thus, knowing how the genetic variability of natural populations is organized allows for the establishment of strategies for conservation and the sustainable use of the species and its biome. Six micros.. Read More»

Characterization and molecular epidemiology of extensively prevalent nosocomial isolates of drug-resistant Acinetobacter spp

    A.A. Carvalho, L.L. Cardoso, H.S. Nogueira, E.V. Menezes, M.A.S. Xavier, N.A.P. Barreto, L.F. Fernandes and A.R.E.O. Xavier

Acinetobacter sp isolates deserve special attention once they have emerged globally in healthcare institutions because they display numerous intrinsic and acquired drug-resistance mechanisms. This study assessed the antibiotic susceptibility profile, the presenceof the genetic marker blaOXA-23, and the clonal relationship among 34 nosocomial isolates of Acinetobacter spp obtained at a hospital ..

Standardization of a molecular method for epidemiologic identification of Leishmania strains

    R.F. Rocha, E.V. Menezes, A.R.E.O. Xavier, V.A. Royo, D.A. Oliveira, A.F.M. Júnior, E.S. Dias, A.C.V.M.R. Lima and E.M. Michalsky

Molecular studies of the evolutionary relationships among Leishmania species suggest the presence of high genetic variation within this genus, which has a direct effect on public health in many countries. The coexistence of species in a particular region can result in different leishmaniasis clinical forms and treatment responses. We aimed to standardize the kinetop.. Read More»

Genetic markers for detection of Escherichia coli K-12 harboring ampicillin-resistance plasmid from an industrial wastewater treatment effluent pond

    G.A.R. Simões, M.A.S. Xavier, D.A. Oliveira, E.V. Menezes,S.S.G. Magalhães, J.A.C.D. Gandra and A.R.E.O. Xavier

Biotechnology industries that use recombinant DNA technology are potential sources for release of genetically modified organisms to the environment. Antibiotic-resistance marker genes are commonly used for recombinant bacteria selection. One example is the marker gene coding for β-lactamase (bla) in plasmids found in Escherichia coli K-12. The aim of this study.. Read More»

Acrocomia emensis (Arecaceae) genetic structure and diversity using SSR molecular markers

    D.S. Neiva, A.F. Melo Júnior, D.A. Oliveira, V.A. Royo, M.M. Brandão and E.V. Menezes

Acrocomia emensis, popularly known as the creeping tucum, belongs to the family Arecaceae, and is an oilseed specie of the Brazilian Savannah. The expansion of agricultural activity has rapidly destroyed its natural habitat, leading to a decrease in its population size. Genetic studies can be used to investigate the genetic variability, and may assist with the charting future conservation strat.. Read More»

Transferability and characterization of simple sequence repeat markers from Anacardium occidentale to A. humile (Anacardiaceae)

    L.G. Cota P.A. Moreira E.V. Menezes A.S. Gomes A.R.O. Ericsson D.A. Oliveira A.F. Melo Jr.

Use of molecular markers can be limited by the high cost and extensive time required for their development. Transfer of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers reduces the cost and time limitations and has allowed the use of these markers in a larger number of species. We tested 11 SSR markers previously developed for Anacardium occidentale on A. humile. The 11 loci were successfully amplified in .. Read More»

Genetic diversity in populations of Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae) in the northern region of Minas Gerais, Brazil

    D.A. Oliveira, A.F. Melo Júnior, M.M. Brandão, L.A. Rodrigues, E.V. Menezes and P.R.B. Ferreira

Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) is a palm of economic importance, widely distributed in natural forests from Mexico to Uruguay. We analyzed the genetic diversity of populations of macaúba (A. aculeata) in the northern region of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Young leaves from 10 macaúba individuals encompassing 49 genotypes of macaúba we.. Read More»
