• Comparative genome analysis of proteases, oligopeptide uptake and secretion systems in Mycoplasma spp 

      Staats, Charley Christian; Boldo, Juliano Tomazzoni; Broetto, Leonardo; Vainstein, Marilene Henning; Schrank, Augusto (2007) [Artigo de periódico]
      Mycoplasmas are very fastidious in their nutritional requirements for in vitro growth and have limited biosynthetic capacity, a reflection of their reduced genomes. As a result, these bacteria depend upon external metabolites ...
    • Genes involved in cell division in mycoplasmas 

      Alarcón, Frank; Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza Ribeiro de; Yim, Lucia; Zaha, Arnaldo (2007) [Artigo de periódico]
      Bacterial cell division has been studied mainly in model systems such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, where it is described as a complex process with the participation of a group of proteins which assemble into ...
    • Insights on the virulence of swine respiratory tract mycoplasmas through genome-scale metabolic modeling 

      Ferrarini, Mariana Galvão; Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Mucha, Scheila Gabriele; Palama, Tony L.; Jobard, Élodie; Herrmann, Bénédicte Elena; Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza Ribeiro de; Tardy, Florence; Schrank, Irene Silveira; Zaha, Arnaldo; Sagot, Marie France (2016) [Artigo de periódico]
      Background: The respiratory tract of swine is colonized by several bacteria among which are three Mycoplasma species: Mycoplasma flocculare, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Mycoplasma hyorhinis. While colonization by M. ...
    • New insights on the biology of swine respiratory tract mycoplasmas from a comparative genome analysis 

      Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Thompson, Claudia Elizabeth; Virginio, Veridiana Gomes; Gonchoroski, Taylor; Reolon, Luciano Antonio; Almeida, Luiz Gonzaga Paula de; Fonseca, Marbella Maria Bernardes; Souza, Rangel Celso; Prosdocimi, Francisco; Schrank, Irene Silveira; Ferreira, Henrique Bunselmeyer; Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza Ribeiro de; Zaha, Arnaldo (2013) [Artigo de periódico]
      Background: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Mycoplasma flocculare and Mycoplasma hyorhinis live in swine respiratory tracts. M. flocculare, a commensal bacterium, is genetically closely related to M. hyopneumoniae, the causative ...
    • A preliminary assessment of the potential health and genetic impacts of releasing confiscated passerines into the wild : a reduced-risk approach 

      Cruz, Claudio Estevao Farias da; Fünkler, Gustavo da Rosa; Zani, André Luis da Silva; Wagner, Paulo Guilherme Carniel; Andretta, Ines; Segura, Luciano Noel; Fagundes, Nelson Jurandi Rosa (2021) [Artigo de periódico]
      The illegal capture and trade of wild birds have long been threats to biodiversity. The rehabilitation and release of confiscated animals may be a useful conservation tool in species management. However, differences between ...
    • Restriction-modification systems in Mycoplasma ssp 

      Brocchi, Marcelo; Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza Ribeiro de; Zaha, Arnaldo (2007) [Artigo de periódico]
      Restriction and Modification (R-M) systems are present in all Mycoplasma species sequenced so far. The presence of these genes poses barriers to gene transfer and could protect the cell against phage infections. The number ...
    • The effect of mycoplasma and mycoplasma removal agent on the hydrolase activity in fibroblasts of patients with lysosomal diseases 

      Souza, Fernanda Timm Seabra; Sostruznik, Luana Souza; Scolari, Roberta Casagrande; Castro, Karen Joana Maciel de; Andrade, Carla Vieira; Giugliani, Roberto; Coelho, Janice Carneiro (2010) [Artigo de periódico]
      Este estudio fue disenado para evaluar el efecto de la contaminacion por micoplasmas sobre la actividad de hidrolasas acidas y la accion del agente de eliminacion de micoplasmas (MRA) en cultivos de fibroblastos humanos ...
