Hidden diversity revealed by DNA barcoding of paralichthyidae fish along the caribbean and brazilian coast.

DNA barcoding based on COI sequences has been highly informative for the taxonomic assessment of many fish species due to its high rate of species identification. Accordingly, numerous studies have employed this method to encompass species checklists of different areas, assessment of cryptic diversity, biodiversity monitoring, and other applications. Furthermore, most of the success of COI DNA barcoding relies on a comprehensive database (BOLD Systems) that holds sequences and detailed records of millions of species and applies a system (BIN) that clusters short DNA barcodes to generate OTUs.

The Impact of Rhizospheric and Endophytic Bacteria on the Germination of : A Threatened Rubiaceae of the Amazon Cangas.

(Rubiaceae) is a narrow endemic species from the canga ecosystems of the Carajás National Forest that is facing extinction due to a limited range and habitat disturbance from hydroclimatological changes and mining activities. This study examines the influence of rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria on seed germination to support conservation efforts. Soil samples, both rhizospheric and non-rhizospheric, as well as plant root tissues, were collected.

Enhancing iron biogeochemical cycling for ecosystem restoration: insights from microbial stimuli.

Introduction: The microbial-induced restoration of ferruginous crusts (), which partially cover iron deposits and host unique ecosystems, is a promising alternative for reducing the environmental impacts of the iron mining industry.

Methods: To investigate the potential of microbial action to accelerate the reduction and oxidation of iron in substrates rich in hematite and goethite, four different microbial treatments (water only as a control - W; culture medium only - MO; medium + microbial consortium - MI; medium + microbial consortium + soluble iron - MIC) were periodically applied to induce iron dissolution and subsequent precipitation. Except for W, all the treatments resulted in the formation of biocemented blocks.

Bioprospecting for Endophytes with Potential to Promote Plant Growth.

is a native plant found only in a permanent pond in Serra dos Carajás in the Amazon region. Plant-associated microbial communities are recognized to be responsible for biological processes essential for the health, growth, and even adaptation of plants to environmental stresses. In this sense, the aims of this work were to isolate, identify, and evaluate the properties of endophytic bacteria isolated from The bioprospecting of potentially growth-promoting endophytes required the following steps to be taken: isolation of endophytic colonies, molecular identification by 16S rDNA sequence analysis, and evaluation of the bacterial potential for nitrogen fixation, production of indole acetic acid and siderophores, as well as phosphate solubilization and mineralization.

Elaboration of a nursing record standard for an Emergency Care Unit.

Objective: To develop a registration standard with diagnoses, outcomes and nursing interventions for an Emergency Care Unit.

Method: This is applied research of technological development developed in three steps: elaboration of diagnoses/outcomes and interventions statements following the International Classification for Nursing Practice; assessment of diagnosis/outcome relevance; organization of diagnosis/outcome and interventions statements according to health needs described in TIPESC.

Results: A total of 185 diagnoses were prepared, of which 124 (67%) were constant in the classification, and 61 had no correspondence.
