Potential and limits of benthic foraminiferal ecological indices in paleoenvironmental reconstructions: a case from a Holocene succession of the Po Delta, Italy
Authors: Dasgupta Utsha , Barbieri Giulia , Vaiani Stefano Claudio , Ghosh Anupam
Published: April 2022

Classical (paleo-)ecological indices extracted from benthic foraminiferal assemblages are commonly applied to determine past environmental conditions.We tested the efficiency of selected indices (including wall type proportion, epifaunal/infaunal ratio and pooled diversity indices) on benthic foraminifera from a Holocene shallow marine succession of the Po Delta, in order to evaluate their advantages, limits and differences. The paleoenvironmental record was determined integrating species composition of assemblages. All indices clearly discriminated between low and high riverine influence, even though the boundary at three different core depths revealed their different sensitivity to the faunal response under hanging environmental conditions in terms of organic matter and sediment supply. Specifically, the lowest boundary was highlighted by wall structural types and epifaunal/infaunal ratio that were able to track the first inputs of organic matter provided by the prograding Po River mouths. Upward, low sand concentration and moderate foraminiferal abundance (expressed as Total Foraminiferal Number) indicated significant supplies of fine-grained sediments within a prodelta paleoenvironment. Lastly, diversity indices revealed stressful prodelta conditions with remarkable low diversity and high dominance values. We show that high paleoenvironmental resolution can be obtained through the integration of faunal indices, species composition and sediment grain size within deltaic successions, where many indices should be considered to comprehensively understand the onset of riverine influenced conditions.
Effects of flow disturbances on Holocene planktonic foraminiferal ecostratigraphy
Authors: Sum Lai Shan , Wilson Brent , Ragoonath Chantelle
Published: April 2022

The ecostratigraphy of offshore North Coast of Trinidad and near Tobago is poorly resolved, although biogenic gas production for which it would be useful is widespread. Recent work has shown that a wake and eddy in the Guiana Current and Orinoco Plume to the lee of NWTobago influence benthic foraminiferal assemblages. This ecostratigraphical study of planktonic foraminiferal assemblages examines three piston cores taken on the lee of NW Tobago. Core 1 (upper bathyal) was most distal to the nutrient-rich Orinoco Plume and Core 3 (outer neritic) the most proximal. The assemblage turnover index (ATI) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) determined that the relative community stability at each site did not differ, showing similar community stabilities within the wake and plume. However, an abnormally high abundance of the deep-dwelling, nutrient-loving Globorotalia truncatulinoidesdextral in Core 2 indicated an oceanographic boundary between Cores 1 and 2 along which the Orinoco Plume abuts the oligotrophic ocean. This is reflected in the distributions of other planktonic foraminiferal morphotypes such as G. bulloides, Gn. obesa and G. ruberpink. SHE analysis detected two biozones in Cores 2 and 3, possibly marking a change in nutrient influx. Principal component analysis reinforced the nutrient influx as amajor factor acting at Cores 2 and 3 in thewake andOrinoco Plume, Core 2 being seasonally impactedwhile Core 3 lies permanently within the Orinoco Plume. We conclude that oceanographic complexity off NW Tobago affects the distributions of planktonic foraminiferal morphotypes at the kilometer scale. Our results will prove to be a powerful tool in deciphering the geological history of the Orinoco Plume.
Richness in recent foraminifera from different locations along Venezuelan coastal ecosystems
Authors: Chitty Humberto Carvajal
Published: April 2022

The total number of recent foraminifera species for Venezuelan marine areas is counted and summarized by major taxonomic groups. Samples from different locations associated with contrasting marine settings were used to review the species richness of the foraminiferal community. Atotal of 930 species were compiled and their synonyms updated. Of this total, 392 species belong to the Rotaliida (42%), 234 to theMiliolida (25%), 155 to the Textulairida (17%), and 79 species to the Lagenida (8%), while the Nodosairida has 18 species (2%), the Spirilinida has 17 (2%), the Polymorphinida has 14 (2%), and the rest belong to the Vaginulinida, Robertinida, Carterinida and Involutinida (12, 6, 2 and 1 species each, respectively). Atotal of 271 species have been identified as endemic to theVenezuelan marine coastal area. This basic diversity analysis of species indicates that the Rotaliida dominate the foraminiferal assemblages along the coast line, followed by the Miliolida and Textulariida, with minor representation of other groups of foraminifera. The distribution of the foraminiferal species, especially benthic, is associated with the different ecoregions and can help serve as indicators for environmental health, marine restoration, and preservation of environmental quality.
Abnormal test growth in Larger Benthic Foraminifera from hypersaline coastal ponds of the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Fiorini Flavia , Lokier Stephen W.
Published: April 2022

The larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) assemblage from shallow hypersaline coastal ponds located in the intertidal area of theUnitedArab EmirateWestern Region was investigated. The studied coastal ponds are located between a lagoonal areawith carbonate sedimentation, and a supratidal, evaporite-dominated, sabkha. Epiphytic larger benthic foraminifera, mostly belonging to the genus Peneroplis, dominate the benthic foraminifera assemblage. At all the sampled locations, the larger benthic foraminifera assemblage is characterised by high percentages of tests with abnormal growth. Dissolution and microboring are also common on the majority of LBF tests. The high percentage of abnormal tests reflects natural environmental stress caused by the instability of physical parameters (particularly high and variable salinity and temperature) in this transitional marine environment. The unique presence of epiphytic species in some of the ponds suggests that epiphytic foraminifera are transported into the ponds attached to floating seagrass and subsequently continue to live in the stressed pond environment.

Authors: Honarmand Atusa , Vahidinia Mohamad , Mahmudy Gharaie Mohamad Hosein , Ardestani Meysam Shafiee
Published: April 2022

The Upper Cretaceous Abtalkh Formation of the Kopet-Dagh Basin (northeastern Iran) was studied in four stratigraphic sections (Bahadorkhan, Hammam Galeh, Type section and Shorab). All sections display limestones, shales and calcareous shales. The Bahadorkhan section is approximately 480 m thick. We identified 32 planktonic foraminifera species belonging to 13 genera in 6 biozones: 1. Dicarinella asymetrica Total Range Zone, 2. Globotruncanita elevata Partial Range Zone, 3. Contusotruncana plummerae Interval Zone, 4. Radotruncana calcarata Total Range Zone, 5. Globotruncanella havanensis Partial Range Zone and Globotruncana aegyptiaca Interval Zone. Based on foraminiferal biostratigraphy, the Bahadorkhan section was dated to the latest Santonian to late Campanian. This study identifies 11 genera and 25 species of planktonic foraminifera in the 1500m thick Hammam Galeh section, spanning 7 biozones: 1. Dicarinella asymetrica Total Range Zone, 2. Globotruncanita elevata Partial Range Zone, 3. Contusotruncana plummerae Interval Zone, 4. Radotruncana calcarata Total Range Zone, 5. Globotruncanella havanensis Partial Range Zone, 6. Globotruncana aegyptiaca Interval Zone, 7. Gansserina gansseri Interval Zone. Latest Santonian to late Campanian ages have been established for the Abtalkh Formation. The type locality of the Abtalkh Formation is 750mthick and contains 31 planktonic foraminiferal species belonging to 12 genera. Based on this fossil content, we identified 6 biozones. The age of the formation is estimated to be the latest Santonian to late Campanian, as for the Bahadorkhan type section. The Shorab section of the Abtalkh Formation is 990m thick. In this section, 19 species belonging to 10 genera were identified, as were 5 biozones: 1. Globotruncanita elevata Partial Range Zone, 2. Contusotruncana plummerae Interval Zone, 3. Radotruncana calcarata Total Range Zone, 4. Globotruncanella havanensis Partial Range Zone, 5. Globotruncana aegyptiaca Interval Zone. Based on this fossil assemblage, the Shorab section dates to the early to late Campanian.
Upper Ypresian to Lower Lutetian (SBZ 10 to 13) Alveolina stratigraphic horizons from the Hormak section, Zahedan District, Sistan Suture Zone, Eastern Iran
Authors: Hadi Mehdi , Consorti Lorenzo , Vahidinia Mohammad
Published: April 2022

Here we present a detailed taxonomic study of Alveolina assemblages from the Hormak section, northern Zahedan, Iran. The Alveolina specimens have been recovered from a 16 meters thick shallow-water Eocene succession cropping out in an area of limited extent. Sixteen species have been identified including Alveolina cf. oblonga, A. ruetimeyeri, A. minuta, A. cf. cosigena, A. sp. cf. A. schwageri, A. sp. aff. A. azzarolii, A. haymanaensis, A. canavarii, A. canavarii karsakensis, A. coudurensis, A. histrica histrica, A. bayburtensis, A. cf. azzarolii, A. stercusmuris, A. kieli and A. elliptica nuttalli. The record of Alveolina species spans from SBZ10 (early Cuisian) to SBZ13 (early Lutetian). The systematic study provides new insight on the paleobiogeographic dispersal among the Sistan Ocean zone (central Tethys region) and may permit to make projections for future studies on neighboring Tethyan regions.
First record of Ditrupa gracillima (Annelida, Polychaeta) from the late Pliocene of Andaman and Nicobar Basin: insights on the ultrastructure, stable isotopic signature and distribution pattern
Authors: Chakraborty Arindam , Ghosh Amit K. , Agrawal Shailesh
Published: April 2022

In the present study from the late Pliocene of Neill West Coast Formation, Neil Island, serpulid tubes assignable to Ditrupa gracillima Grube have been identified with the help of tube morphological (light microscopy) and ultrastructural (SEM) studies. This is the first record of the species from the late Pliocene of India. The outer layer of D. gracillima is entirely different from other invertebrates, and the presence of Ridged Prismatic Structure (RRP) exclusively characterises this particular species. The mineralogical analysis (Raman spectroscopy and EDS) reveals a Mg-Ca skeletal for D. gracillima. Isotopic analysis indicates that there is a narrow range of variation in the delta 18 O values of D. gracillima The delta 13 C of D. gracillima shows significant variation and displays the most 13 C depleted values. Based on isotopic analysis it has been inferred that the deposition of sediments took place in a shallow marine environment and D. gracillima thrived in the proximity of hydrocarbon seepages. The present day distributional pattern of D. gracillima indicates that they are mainly confined in the Indo-Pacific region.
Coccolithus pelagicus subsp. braarudii morphological plasticity as a response to variations in the upwelling regime of the west coast of Iberia
Authors: Prista Goncalo , Narciso Aurea , Cachao Mario
Published: April 2022

Taxonomy of fossil coccolithophores is based primarily on the heterococcolith life cycle stagemorphology and, at species level, on fine variations in size and shape. Coccolith size is relevant on routine identification of certain calcareous nannofossil species, but morphometry can also be a tool to study their morphological plasticity. Here we used a new morphometric statistical method to reassess Coccolithus pelagicus s. l. data from the Holocene of the west coast of Iberia. Our results suggest that both C. pelagicus subsp. braarudii and C. pelagicus subsp. pelagicus present morphological plasticity in response to (paleo)environmental changes, mainly variations in the upwelling regime in the west coast of Portugal and (paleo)oceanographic conditions in the North Atlantic linked to glacial periods of the Holocene.
Benthic foraminiferal biogeography in the southeast Caribbean Sea
Authors: Wilson Brent , Carvajal-Chitty Humberto
Published: April 2022

The SE Caribbean Sea is not ubiquitously oligotrophic. It is subject to the Caribbean Current, which is an extension of the Guiana Current and flows NW across the sea. It is also impacted by outflow from the Orinoco River, which produces a hypopycnal plume that is transported across the sea by the Caribbean Current, and by local upwelling, which occurs at distinct focuses. This paper uses non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) to examine the impact of this oceanographic complexity on the distributions, based on species presence/absence, of neritic to upper bathyal benthic foraminifera. Sites within the ambit of the Orinoco Plume (Orinoco offshore, Trinidad East Coast Marine Area [ECMA], Trinidad North Coast Marine Area [NCMA), offshore NW Tobago, Bequia) are closely grouped by NMDS, despite the NCMA being subject to minor upwelling and Bequia only seasonally laying within the plume. The Paria and Araya Peninsula areas, though geographically close and both subject to upwelling, do not cluster closely. This indicates that the two upwelling focuses induced some biogeographic separation. The Isla La Tortuga, being bathed with oligotrophic water, plotted far from the eutrophic Orinoco Plume sites. The upwelling Paria Peninsula site, adjacent to the Orinoco Plume, yielded seventeen species of Bolivina (the greatest species richness for this genus of any of our sites), whereas Isla La Tortuga yielded only four. The Trinidad NCMA, likewise a site of upwelling, presented the second highest number of species of Bolivina, yielding twelve. That the Plataforma Deltana site plotted far from all others reflects its bathyal position beyond the Orinoco Plume.
Transfer of type specimens of Caribbean Foraminifera and Ostracoda to the European Micropalaeontological Reference Centre
Authors: Wilson Brent
Published: April 2022

While working on Trinidad and Tobago and the western tropical Atlantic Ocean, the author published four papers (Wilson 2006a, 2006b, 2006c;Wilson et al. 2011) that included descriptions of ten new species of foraminifera and ostracoda from the Neogene of the SE Caribbean Sea. These holotypes and associated paratypes have now been transferred to the European Micropalaeontological Reference Centre, AGH, University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland, for safekeeping. Among the foraminifera, these are: Amphistegina martybuzasi Wilson, Ramkissoon and McLean 2011; Bolivina jiattongi Wilson 2006; Textularia carrbrowni Wilson 2006; Textularia framptoni Wilson 2006; and Textularia sawhi Wilson 2006. Regarding ostracodes, they are: Bythoceratina coimbrai Wilson 2006; Cytheropteron bremani Wilson 2006; Polycope swietinia Wilson 2006; Polycope trinitatensis Wilson 2066; and Pterygocythereis fithiani Wilson 2006.

A Neotype for Neogloboquadrina atlantica (Berggren 1972)
Authors: Kaminski Michael A. , Berggren William A.
Published: April 2022

Neogloboquadrina atlantica (Berggren 1972) is one of the most common planktonic foraminiferal species in the Upper Miocene and Pliocene at DSDP/IODP sites in the northern Atlantic. It was originally described from the upper Pliocene at DSDP Site 116 in the Rockall Trough, northeastern Atlantic. In the original description of the species, the depository of the illustrated type specimens was not specified. One of us (WAB) was under the impression that the illustrated type specimens of Neogloboquadrina atlantica had been sent to the Cushman Collection at the Smithsonian Institution. Unfortunately there is no record of the specimen slides having ever arrived at the museum (B. Huber, personal communication, 2020). Fortunately, the second author is still in possession of the shipboard sample residues from DSDP Leg 12, and was able to select a neotype specimen to replace the missing illustrated holotype. The purpose of this note is to designate a neotype specimen for Neogloboquadrina atlantica and to specify a repository for the permanent archive of the neotype and paraneotypes.
The Paleocene of IODP Site U1511, Tasman Sea: A lagerstatte deposit for deep-water agglutinated foraminifera

Published: April 2022

Deep-water agglutinated Foraminifera (DWAF) are investigated from Paleocene sediments recovered from IODP Hole U1511B in the northeastern Tasman Sea. The recovered foraminifera display exceptional three-dimensional preservation: they are relatively unaltered by sediment diagenesis and compaction.We examined 27 samples fromCores U1511B-45R to -47R, and recovered over 70 species of DWAF. The assemblage consists entirely of â€œcosmopolitanâ€ forms originally described from the Carpathians, Caucasus, Trinidad, and the western Tethys, implying that there is no provinciality among DWAF faunas in the world ocean.
Pseudoactinoporella Conrad 1970 (Family Bornetellaceae) revisited: A Lower Cretaceous corticated and capitulum-shaped, stalked Tethyan Dasycladale
Authors: Schlagintweit Felix , Rashidi Koorosh , Bucur Ioan I. , Kohkan Hossain , Akbari Ali
Published: April 2022

Based on material from the area of Rafsanjan, Central Iran (P.? iranica Bucur et al.), and southeastern France (type-species P. fragilis Conrad), the genus Pseudoactinoporella Conrad is revisedwith respect to thallusmorphology and suprageneric classification. Reported as possessing a cylindrical or presumably club-shaped thallus, Pseudoactinoporella was assigned to the tribe Salpingoporellinae. In fact, P.? iranica represents a species displaying a capitulum-shaped, stalked thallus whose original description refered to the stalk only. The stalk of P.? iranica shows a spinose aspect due to individualized laterals and is well calcified. The â€œheadâ€ (capitulum) only preserves a thin wall displaying a pattern of cup-like depressions each with a central pore communicating with the fully cemented interior and interpreted as a cortex. P. fragilis is typically presented by trumpet-shaped fragments belonging to the stalk and the transition to the unpreserved (eroded? uncalcified?) â€œheadâ€. For both species, a goniosporate reproduction type (= ampullae disposed laterally along the ramifications) is assumed herein. Due to these characteristics, it appears reasonable to leave apart the generic uncertainty of P. iranica as expressed in the original description. Consequently, Pseudoactinoporella is removed from the Salpingoporellinae and assigned to the family Bornetellaceae and the tribe Bornetelleae.

Notes on Polyperibola christiani Liska 1980
Authors: Berggren William A.
Published: April 2022

In 1980, Robert Liska described the (apparently) monospecific Late Miocene planktonic foraminiferal taxon Polyperibola christiani from the Upper Miocene of Trinidad, as well as from â€œhigh in the Late Miocene of the Dominican Republic (fide: Bolli and Saunders 1985, p. 188). The species is characterized by possessing a microperforate test of generally minute size; a pustulose trochoid initial growth stage, supplementary chambers and bullae enveloping earlier portions of the test, and hemispherical, multiple, sutural, apertures with imperforate rims (Liska 1980, p. 137). An examination of test material from Trinidad yielded measurements of maximum diameter ranging from 0.173 to 0.407 mm. Because of the morphological similarity to the genus Globigerinita, Liska placed Polyperibola in the family Candeinidae. Liska (1984) subsequently made additional, detailed /observations on the morphologically similar but taxonomically separate/distinct taxa Globigerinita, Candeina, and Velapertina.
Diabetes Distress Sources among Filipinos with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Outpatient Department of a Tertiary Government Hospital
Authors: Francisco Mark David DG. , Magnaye Franz Michael M. , Molina Al Joseph R. , Sandoval Mark Anthony S.
Published: April 2022

Objective. The sources of diabetes distress, defined as hidden negative emotions from the demands of daily self-management, are unknown to Filipinos with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the outpatient department. Therefore, we aimed to 1) explore the sources of distress in the perspective of Filipinos with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 2) create a conceptual framework of diabetes distress for Filipinos with T2DM.

Methods. Focus group discussions were done and audiotaped among Filipinos with type 2 diabetes (n=17). The transcript underwent content analysis to generate themes and subthemes. Relationships were determined between codes, categories, and themes elicited in the study to create a conceptual framework unique to Filipinos.

Results. The content analysis revealed five themes of diabetes distress: caregiver factor, socio-economic factor, psycho-emotional factor, medication-related factor, and health care service delivery factor. The socio-economic factor was a distinct theme missing in the prevailing validated questionnaires. Therefore, an adapted conceptual framework was created, as approved by the expert panel.

Conclusion. In conclusion, Filipinos with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the outpatient department have multiple sources of diabetes distress, namely, caregiver factor, socio-economic factor, psycho-emotional factor, medication-related factor, and health care service delivery factor. The socio-economic factor is a unique theme identified among Filipinos. Recognizing the sources of diabetes distress is vital to accurately screen Filipinos with type 2 diabetes mellitus and optimize management outcomes. The study findings will help develop and validate the questionnaire to screen diabetes distress unique to Filipinos.
Quality of Life and its Determinants among Filipino People Living with HIV/AIDS Enrolled in the Treatment Hub of a Tertiary Government Hospital
Authors: Sala Sebar S. , Lim Jodor A.
Published: April 2022

Objective. To assess the quality of life (QoL) and its determinants among Filipino People Living with HIV (PLHIV).

Methods. This is a cross-sectional analytical study. Adult Filipino PLHIV linked to the treatment hub of a tertiary government hospital in the Philippines were surveyed utilizing the WHOQOL-HIV BREF assessment tool. Other variables of interest were obtained from medical records. Linear regression analysis was applied.

Results. A total of 341 HIV-seropositive patients were included. The median age was 32 years, and respondents were mostly male (93.55%). Majority had good general QoL (58.6%). Regression analysis showed that among the factors associated with good general QoL were: CD4 ≥ 200 cells/μL (p = 0.043), and ARV duration > 3 months (p = 0.022). Conversely, low education (p ≤ 0.001), poor treatment adherence (p ≤ 0.001), and presence of opportunistic infections (p ≤ 0.05) were associated with poor general QoL. Female sex (p = 0.025) and unemployment (p = 0.006) were associated with poor QoL in the environment and independence domains, respectively.

Conclusion. Most Filipino PLHIV have good QoL across all domains. While several factors were associated with good QoL including higher CD4 count and being on ARV for more than 3 months, presence of opportunistic infections, poor treatment adherence and low education were associated with poor QoL among patients with HIV infection.
Results of reoperative mitral valve replacement at cardiovascular center - E hospital
Authors: Nghia Doan Van , Huu Nguyen Cong , Thuy Nguyen Tran
Published: April 2022

Overview: Mitral valve (MV) disease is the most common valvular disease; surgery is the definitive treatment when it is no longer possible for conservative treatment. The number of patients undergoing MV replacement surgery is increasing and life expectancy is increasing, leading to an inevitable increase in the number of patients having to undergo reoperative MV replacement. Redo MV replacement remains a challenge. The study aimed to evaluate the results of redo-mitral valve replacement surgery.

           Method: This is a retrospective, descriptive study of   patients who underwent reoperative mitral valve replacement at cardiovascular center – E hospital, from January 2015 to December 2019.

           Results: Thirty seven patients (24 females) underwent redo-MVR with either bioprosthetic (n = 18) or mechanical valves (n = 18). Median age of patients was 53 years (range 30–78 years), and the mean additive EuroSCORE was 8.15%. Median time to re-operation was 5.37± 2.78 years for first time redo-MVR and 3 years for second-time redo-MVR. Indications included prosthetic endocarditis (n = 9), para-prosthetic leak (n = 1), structural valve degeneration (n = 12), prosthetic valve thrombosis (n = 15). In-hospital mortality was 5.41%. Mean hospital stay was 27.54± 15.93 days. Actuarial survival at 1 and 5 years was 81 ± 5% and 72 ± 6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that mortality was associated with Euroscore and infectious complications.

           Conclusion: Mitral valve replacement surgery is safe and effective in improving clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters. Regular postoperative monitoring is required to reduce the risk of reoperation due to prosthetic valve thrombosis. Good infection prevention and management could reduce mortality and length of hospital stay.

Introdução: A contaminação do meio ambiente por metais pesados começou com o avanço e crescimento das atividades industriais, em função do descarte incorreto de resíduos de indústrias químicas, metalúrgicas e da agricultura, juntamente com a falta de tratamentos adequados de efluentes gerados pelas mesmas. Os metais pesados podem causar danos à saúde animal e humana devido ao acúmulo destes na água e no solo. A biorremediação por microrganismos vem se tornando uma ferramenta de grande potencial para a descontaminação dos ambientes contendo metais pesados. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a resistência da bactéria Bacillus Aerius BA04 frente a metais pesados. Material e métodos: Foram feitos nove cultivos em meio sólido usando a técnica de placa inclinada com meio Mueller Hinton acrescido de concentrações crescentes (até as concentrações máximas requeridas pela resolução 430/2011 do CONAMA) dos seguintes sais de metais pesados: acetato de chumbo II, sulfato de ferro II, sulfato de alumínio, sulfato de mercúrio, sulfato de zinco, sulfato de cobre, cloreto de cobalto e nitrato de cobalto. Os cultivos foram feitos em duplicate e conduzidos a 35 °C durante 7 dias. Resultados: A bactéria B. Aerius BA04 cresceu de forma homogênea na superfície de todas as placas com exceção do meio contendo sulfato de mercúrio no qual foi observada inibição do crescimento bacteriano, mesmo na região de baixa concentração do metal pesado. Conclusão: O estudo revelou que a bactéria B. Aerius BA04 apresenta resistência a altas concentrações dos metais tóxicos testados, caracterizando potencial para biorremediação de ambientes contaminados com diversos metais pesados, reduzindo a toxicidade desses metais.

Introdução: A busca por potencializar atividades biológicas com tecnologias diversas tem sido bastante aplicada, incluindo o uso de radiações, que de acordo com a dose empregada influencia na propriedade antimicrobiana. O microrganismo Saccharomyces cerevisiae é aeróbio facultativo, isto é, tem a habilidade de se ajustar metabolicamente, tanto em condições de aerobiose como de anaerobiose. E, sabe-se que a irradiação é capaz de causar danos ao DNA da célula, e alterações em seus produtos finais, que podem ser positivas no sentido de produzir substâncias biologicamente ativas, ou substâncias prejudiciais à saúde humana, com isso é importante averiguar os produtos finais produzidos após a irradiação da Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Objetivo: Analisar estudos recentes e métodos utilizados relacionados a Saccharomyces cerevisiae e a irradiação. Metodologia: A estratégia deste tratou-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura desenvolvida com o propósito de contribuir para o conhecimento, desenvolvido em cinco etapas: busca da literatura, extração de dados, avaliação dos estudos encontrados, análise e síntese dos resultados. Para condução do estudo, a pesquisa foi realizada entre os meses de maio a junho de 2021, nas bases de dados: Scielo, Brazilian Journal of Development e a Revista Brasileira de Produtos Agroindustriais. Teve como critério de inclusão os artigos relacionados a radiação ionizante e o microrganismo cerevisiae, referente aos últimos 10 anos de publicação e os critérios de exclusão foram produções científicas em formato de tese, dissertação e estudo do caso. Resultados: Foram analisados 3 trabalhos, e cada um desses mostra que a irradiação no microrganismo com a radiação gama, alteração de temperatura e agitação, além da ação da luz branca e a luz UV com doses médias e altas são eficazes na eliminação de microrganismos. Conclusão: Em alguns experimentos realizados pela nossa equipe já se identifica que a radiação reduzia a quantidade de microrganismos, e esses resultados corroboram com os 3 trabalhos analisados. Assim, pode-se afirmar que a radiação pode eliminar microrganismos e age também de forma a torna-lo estático, entretanto ainda estão sendo realizados novos experimentos para verificar possíveis mudanças causadas no microrganismo.

Introdução: O continente Antártico tem atraído a atenção por propiciar o desenvolvimento de vida em condições ambientais extremas. Frio e ventos intensos, ciclos de congelamento e descongelamento, altos níveis de radiação ultravioleta tornam este ecossistema um desafio para o desenvolvimento de organismos. Um organismo presente na região é a Prasiola crispa, uma macroalga verde taloide extremófila que, além de sobreviver, se desenvolve com sucesso em regiões supralitorais e terrestres da Antártica. Pouco é conhecido sobre os mecanismos de sobrevivência da P. crispa, no entanto, vários estudos tem sido realizados para compreender melhor o organismo e o que fez esta macroalga se destacar tanto na região. Associações microrganismo-alga são conhecidas e estudadas há vários anos, dentre elas, a relação mutualística onde ambos organismos se beneficiam e, além disto, podem prover melhores condições de desenvolvimento e melhores respostas a estresses. Objetivo: Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o metatranscriptoma de P. crispa a fim identificar a microbiota associada que possa estar relacionada com desenvolvimento e a sobrevivência desta alga na Antártica. Material e métodos: Os dados do metatranscriptoma previamente obtidos pelo grupo, foram submetidos ao pipeline de análise MG-RAST (https://www.mg-rast.org/), contra o banco de dados do software, com parâmetros padrão, por 72 horas. Resultados: Os resultados da análise do conjunto de dados pelo MG-RAST apresentaram uma diversidade alfa de 428 espécies. As sequências do metatranscriptoma foram classificadas por táxons, onde 72,30% das sequências foram do domínio Bactéria, 27,56% do domínio Eukaryota, em relação as famílias de bactérias, as sequências mais abundantes foram de Sphingobacteriaceae 15,65%, e Comamonadaceae 11,32%. Por fim, 3,98% e 3,07% da sequência total analisada são do gênero Variovorax e Polaromonas respectivamente, ambas pertencentes a famílias das Comamonadaceae. Polaromonas são bactérias gram-negativas, aeróbicas e possuem forma de bastão, além do mais, são psicrófilos, ou seja, são bactérias extremófilas encontradas em regiões de baixa temperatura. Conclusão: Sendo assim, com esta abordagem metatranscriptômica, identificamos sequencias de bactérias presentes no metatranscriptoma de P. crispa, demonstrando que esta alga possui associações com microrganismos. Estudos futuros para elucidar o papel destes microrganismos no desenvolvimento e sobrevivência de P. crispa serão realizados.

Published: April 2022

Introdução: A Acca sellowiana (Goiabeira Serrana) é uma mirtácea nativa da região sul do Brasil e Uruguai. Produz frutos muito apreciados, com expressivo valor nutricional e excelente potencial de mercado. No estado de Santa Catarina, um programa de melhoramento desenvolvido em parceria entre a EPAGRI e a UFSC gerou quatro cultivares comerciais dessa espécie. Técnicas de micropropagação são ferramentas úteis para a multiplicação em larga escala de genótipos-elites. Objetivo: No presente trabalho buscou-se avaliar a influência das citocininas BAP e da meta-topolina (mT) na multiplicação de segmentos nodais da cultivar Helena. Material e métodos: Foram selecionados segmentos nodais >1.5 cm e inoculados em tubos de ensaio contendo 10 ml de meio de cultura base WPM (Wood Plant Medium) com concentrações distintas de BAP ou mT (0.5; 1; 1.5; 2 uM) e geleificado com ágar (6g/L). Foram utilizadas para cada tratamento 10 repetições, totalizando 100 segmentos nodais inoculados. Resultados: Decorridos 60 dias, observou-se diferenças morfológicas no crescimento in vitro dos novos brotos. As menores respostas morfogênicas ocorreram no controle, onde apenas 55% dos segmentos nodais observados sobreviveram. A média de sobrevivência para os tratamentos compostos de mT foi de 87% e os entrenós dos brotos mostraram-se mais alongados. As maiores taxas de sobrevivência e multiplicação ocorreram em resposta ao BAP (2 uM) com cerca de 2.8 brotos por explante. Ainda, foi evidenciado o desenvolvimento de calos sob a base dos segmentos nodais em resposta a ambos os fitorreguladores. Conclusão: Os resultados demonstraram que a utilização do BAP (2 uM) obteve as melhores taxas de multiplicação, gerando brotos que poderão seguir para as subsequentes fases do crescimento in vitro.
