In this study, the potential of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight intact cell mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF ICMS) was investigated for the identification of clinical isolates. The isolates were analyzed at the species and strain level,
Candida parapsilosis is a pathogenic fungus responsible for a high number of oral candidosis, predominantly due to the growth in a biofilm form on indwelling medical devices. One of the major contributions for C. parapsiloisis virulence is its versatility to adapt to a variety of different environmental factors. The development of Candida biofilms has important clinical repercussions because of their resistance...
The wide industrial application of phycocolloids (e.g. alginates, agar and carrageenans) is based on their particular properties to form gels in aqueous solution. Recently, new spectroscopic techniques have provided more accurate identification of the natural composition of the polysaccharides produced by these seaweeds. With the combination of two spectroscopic techniques (FTIR-ATR and FT-Raman) it is possible...
Introdução: O exercício físico regular é considerado, não só, um factor importante para o bem-estar físico e psíquico do indivíduo como, pode mesmo, interferir no processo de envelhecimento, retardando-o. Contudo, a prática do exercício físico desencadeia uma situação de stress fisiológico, à qual o organismo responde activando mecanismos de adaptação. A disponibilidade de oxigénio e a libertação de óxido nítri...
Worldwide, marine algae, or seaweed, is used for many different purposes: food; the extraction of phycocolloids...
Objective: Trichophyton rubrum is presently the most common worldwide pathogen causing dermatophytoses such as tinea corporis, tinea capitis, tinea pedis, and onychomycosis [1]. The main aim of the present work was assess MALDI-TOF ICMS as a fast and reliable technique in the identification of T. rubrum from clinical cases occurrence in the Portuguese health centres, and evaluates the potentialities and limits ...
Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar, em condições de campo, a resposta de duas cultivares de milho com características genéticas distintas em Latossolo Vermelho em seis níveis de compactação. O experimento foi conduzido em faixas, no delineamento de blocos completos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Utilizaram-se os híbridos de milho DKB 390 e DAS 2B710. Após a semeadura do milho, coletaram-se amostras ...
