Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacterial hydrogenases: diversity, regulation and applications
Paula Tamagnini,Paula Tamagnini,Elsa Leitão,Paulo J. Oliveira,Daniela Ferreira,Daniela Ferreira,Filipe Pinto,David James Harris,Thorsten Heidorn,Peter Lindblad +9 more
TL;DR: In cyanobacteria, the genes that are thought to affect hydrogenases pleiotropically (hyp), as well as the genes presumably encoding the hydrogenase-specific endopeptidases (hupW and hoxW) have been identified and characterized, and NtcA and LexA have been implicated in the transcriptional regulation of the uptake and the bidirectional enzyme respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ancient introgression of Lepus timidus mtDNA into L. granatensis and L. europaeus in the Iberian Peninsula.
TL;DR: A 587 bp fragment of cytochrome b sequences from 90 individuals of 15 hare (Lepus) species and two outgroups were phylogenetically analysed and compared to an analysis derived from 474 bp sequences of the nuclear transferrin gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex biogeographical distribution of genetic variation within Podarcis wall lizards across the Strait of Gibraltar
TL;DR: To examine the effect of a known geological barrier on genetic variation within a wall lizard species complex, a large number of wall Lizard species complex species are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity in marine hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from coastal and deep-sea environments
TL;DR: The mitochondrial 16S rRNA proved to be a useful DNA ‘barcode’ gene for hydroids, not only allowing discrimination of species, but also in some cases of populations, genera and families, and their intra‐ or interphylogenetic associations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeography of the lacertid lizard, Psammodromus algirus, in Iberia and across the Strait of Gibraltar
TL;DR: To determine genetic substructuring within the lacertid lizard Psammodromus algirus, to compare levels of variation across a geological barrier, the Strait of Gibraltar, and to compare this against the known age of the barrier using a molecular clock hypothesis.
