UHPLC-DAD-HRMS based dereplication guided the detection of new halogenated alkaloids co-produced by Talaromyces wortmannii. From the fungal growth in large scale, the epimers 2,8-dichlororugulovasines A and B were purified and further identified by means of a HPLC-SPE/NMR hyphenated system. Brominated rugulovasines were also detected when the microbial incubation medium was supplemented with br...

We report the presence and diversity of Bartonella spp. in bats of 13 insectivorous and frugivorous species collected from various locations across Kenya. Bartonella isolates were obtained from 23 Eidolon helvum, 22 Rousettus aegyptiacus, 4 Coleura afra, 7 Triaenops persicus, 1 Hipposideros commersoni, and 49 Miniopterus spp. bats. Sequence analysis of the citrate synthase gene from the obtaine...

Members of the family Carangidae are top-level predators and highly prized food and sport fishes. Although ecologically and economically important, little is known about the biology of numerous species in the family. This is particularly true of the jacks Caranx ignobilis and C. melampygus, which have experienced recent population reductions around the high Hawaiian Islands due to overfishing. ...

Scinax comprises more than 120 species which are split in two clades, the S. ruber and catharinae clades. A few within clade occur gallery forests of Brazilian Cerrado. We here extend distribution centralis southwards based on new populations sampled banks Rio Paranaíba, borders Minas Gerais (MG) Goiás (GO) states, southeastern Brazil. also provide further data vocalization. Variation was seen ...

Antioxidant status and selenium accumulation by 18 macromycetes species of the Mountainous Crimea was investigated. Total antioxidant activity 5 families’ representatives composed ranges 23.9 - 43.3 mg GAE/g d.w. for Boletaceae, 13.0-25.0 Russulaceae, 13.5-20.9 Tricholomotaceae, 13.8-38.0 Agaricaceae. Selenium levels reached 423-3352 µg/kg (Boletaceae), 236-1076 (Russulaceae), 664-1213 d.w (Tri...
