The evolutionary and environmental factors that shape fungal biogeography are incompletely
understood. Here, we assemble a large dataset consisting of previously generated …

Progress in microbial ecology is confounded by problems when evaluating results from different
sequencing methodologies. Contrary to existing expectations, here we demonstrate that …

Fungi are key players in vital ecosystem services, spanning carbon cycling, decomposition,
symbiotic associations with cultivated and wild plants and pathogenicity. The high …

Motivation Modern molecular methods have increased our ability to describe microbial
communities. Along with the advances brought by new sequencing technologies, we now require …

The Brazilian Microbiome Project (BMP) aims to assemble a Brazilian Metagenomic
Consortium/Database. At present, many metagenomic projects underway in Brazil are widely known…

Sequencing 16S rRNA gene amplicons is the gold standard to uncover the composition of
prokaryotic communities. The presence of multiple copies of this gene makes the community …

Phosphate fertilization is a common practice in agriculture worldwide, and several
commercial products are widely used. Triple superphosphate (TSP) is an excellent soluble …

Introduction: depression is a psychiatric disorder that affects the general population, but has
been aggressive in situations where this public is teenagers. Due to exposure to biological …

Background Our objective was to verify the reliability, internal consistency and construct
validity of the Barthel Index in Brazilian cancer patients in palliative care. Methods We included …

Fungal-bacterial interactions play a key role in the functioning of many ecosystems. Thus,
understanding their interactive dynamics is of central importance for gaining predictive …
