Acidic soils rapidly retain applied phosphorus fertilizers and consequently present low
availability of this nutrient to plants. The use of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms to help …

In this study, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was used to assess bacterial diversity
and dynamics throughout different stages of leaves decomposition of three plant species (…

Leaf decomposition is the primary process in release of nutrients in the dynamic mangrove
habitat, supporting the ecosystem food webs. On most environments, fungi are an essential …

Social interactions impact microbial communities and these relationships are mediated by
small molecules. The chemical ecology of bacteria on the phylloplane environment is still little …

Mangroves are dynamic and unique ecosystems that provide important ecological services
to coastal areas. The phylloplane is one of the greatest microbial habitats, and most of its …

Microbial communities regulate nutrient cycling in soil, thus the impact of climate change on
the structure and function of these communities can cause an imbalance of nutrients in the …

BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) is a potent tumour suppressor gene that modulates
environmental carcinogenesis 1 , 2 , 3 . All carriers of inherited heterozygous germline BAP1-…

Carriers of heterozygous germline BAP1 mutations (BAP1+/−) develop cancer. We studied
plasma from 16 BAP1+/− individuals from 2 families carrying different germline BAP1 …

Incidental sonographic discovery of thyroid nodules is an increasingly common event. The
vast majority is benign, and those that are malignant, are generally associated with an …
