THE YEAST WICKERHAMOMYCES ANOMALUS ACTS AS A PREDATOR OF THE OLIVE ANTHRACNOSE-CAUSING FUNGI, COLLETOTRICHUM NYMPHAEAE, C. GODETIAE, AND C. GLOEOSPORIOIDES

Olive tree anthracnose is caused by infection with lycogel Colletotrichum fungi, which in Portugal are mostly C.nymphaeae, C.godetiae, and C.gloeosporioides s.s.Severe economic losses are caused by this disease that would benefit from a greener and more efficient alternative to the present agrochemical methods.Yeasts are serious candidates for pre-

Over the past few decades, research has been conducted to develop high-strength concrete (HSC) for high-rise structures and bridge decks.The research discussed in the study focuses on using polyurethane resin (PR) and aramid fibers (AF) to develop HSC, which enhances its strength, durability, and structural properties without increasing the cementi

Individuals with fast nicotine metabolism typically smoke more and thus have a greater risk for smoking-induced diseases.Further, the efficacy of smoking cessation pharmacotherapy is dependent on the rate of nicotine metabolism.Our objective was to use nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR), an established biomarker of nicotine metabolism rate, in a genom

Acute cholecystitis severity ranges from mild to very severe, and its most dreadful complication is gallbladder empyema.It can be caused by several etiologic agents, but Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not common among them.Here we present a 61-year-old female who lives in an area of high tuberculosis endemicity lycogel and has type 2 diabetes mellit
