Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMC): Proposed Mechanisms for Coral Health and Resilience
Raquel S. Peixoto,Phillipe M. Rosado,Deborah Catharine de Assis Leite,Alexandre S. Rosado,David G. Bourne +4 more
TL;DR: The term BMC (Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals) is proposed to define (specific) symbionts that promote coral health and the potential mechanisms of the effects of BMC on corals are proposed, suggesting strategies for the use of this knowledge to manipulate the microbiome, reversing dysbiosis to restore and protect coral reefs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial diversity in rhizosphere soil from Antarctic vascular plants of Admiralty Bay, maritime Antarctica.
Lia C. R. S. Teixeira,Raquel S. Peixoto,Juliano C. Cury,Woo Jun Sul,Vivian Helena Pellizari,James M. Tiedje,Alexandre S. Rosado +6 more
TL;DR: To the best of the knowledge, this is the first major bacterial sequencing effort of this kind of soil, and it revealed more than expected diversity within these rhizospheres of both maritime Antarctica vascular plants in Admiralty Bay, King George Island, which is part of the South Shetlands archipelago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mangrove bacterial diversity and the impact of oil contamination revealed by pyrosequencing: bacterial proxies for oil pollution.
Henrique F. Santos,Juliano C. Cury,Flávia Lima do Carmo,Adriana Lopes dos Santos,Adriana Lopes dos Santos,James M. Tiedje,Jan Dirk van Elsas,Alexandre S. Rosado,Raquel S. Peixoto +8 more
TL;DR: The use of sequences of the selected genera as proxies for oil pollution, using qPCR assessments, are suggested to permit the evaluation of the level of perturbance of mangroves, being useful in field monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine probiotics: increasing coral resistance to bleaching through microbiome manipulation.
Phillipe M. Rosado,Deborah Catharine de Assis Leite,Gustavo A. S. Duarte,Ricardo M. Chaloub,Guillaume Jospin,Ulisses Nunes da Rocha,João Pedro Saraiva,Francisco Dini-Andreote,Jonathan A. Eisen,David G. Bourne,David G. Bourne,Raquel S. Peixoto,Raquel S. Peixoto +12 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the microbiome in corals can be manipulated to lessen the effect of bleaching, thus helping to alleviate pathogen and temperature stresses, with the addition of BMCs representing a promising novel approach for minimizing coral mortality in the face of increasing environmental impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiological, technological and therapeutic properties of kefir: a natural probiotic beverage
Analy Machado de Oliveira Leite,Marco Antônio Lemos Miguel,Raquel S. Peixoto,Alexandre S. Rosado,Joab Trajano Silva,V. M. F. Paschoalin +5 more
TL;DR: Kefir and its constituents have antimicrobial, antitumor, anticarcinogenic and immunomodulatory activity and also improve lactose digestion, among others, and the status of a natural probiotic is designated as the 21th century yoghurt.
