Bioprospección de beta-glucosidasas novedosas a partir de metagenomas obtenidos de intestinos de escarabajos pasálidos de Costa Rica y respiraderos hidrotermales de la Isla Vulcano en Italia
(2019-10)
La aplicación de tecnologías que permitan el establecimiento de biorrefinerías constituye una alternativa interesante que busca incentivar una menor dependencia en el uso de combustibles fósiles y generar productos de valor ...
Population Genomics Insights into Adaptive Evolution and Ecological Differentiation in Streptomycetes
(2019)
Deciphering the genomic variation that represents microevolutionary processes toward species divergence is key to understanding microbial speciation, which has long been under debate. Streptomycetes are filamentous bacteria ...
Community richness of amphibian skin bacteria correlates with bioclimate at the global scale
(2019)
Animal-associated microbiomes are integral to host health, yet key biotic and abiotic factors that shape host-associated microbial communities at the global scale remain poorly understood. We investigated global patterns ...
Assessment of microbial communities associated with the gut and feeding substrate of three xylophagous coleopteran families with emphasis on cellulose-degrading bacteria
Evaluación de las comunidades microbianas asociadas al intestino y sustrato alimenticio de tres familias de coleópteros con énfasis en bacterias degradadoras de celulosa
(2019-11)
The current energy crisis and depletion of fossil fuel reserves has encouraged research for new alternatives. Degradation of plant material by enzymatic reactions represents an important strategy to obtain affordable and ...
ENSO‐Influenced Drought Drives Methane Flux Dynamics in a Tropical Wet Forest Soil
(2019)
Global atmospheric methane growth rates have wildly fluctuated over the past three decades, which may be driven by the proportion of tropical land surface saturated by water. The El Niño/Southern Oscillation Event (ENSO) ...
Phylogenetic analyses of antibiotic-producing Streptomyces sp. isolates obtained from the stingless-bee Tetragonisca angustula (Apidae: Meliponini)
(2019)
Many insects have been associated with actinobacteria in protective symbiosis where antimicrobial metabolites inhibit host pathogens. However, the microbiota of neotropical insects such as the stingless-bee Tetragonisca ...
The gut microbiome of the neotropical beetle Veturius sp. (coleoptera: passalidae): structure, composition and geneticpotential for cellulose degradation
Estructura, composición y potencial genético para degradar celulosa de la microbiota intestinal delescarabajo veturiussp. (coleoptera: passalidae)
(2020)
The global carbon cycle is responsible for maintaining the carbon dioxide and methane concentration in the atmosphere, influencing the weather and ocean acidification. Herbivores play an important role in the carbon cycle. ...
Ant microbial symbionts are a new model for drug discovery
(2019)
Ants have been widely studied, with 14,000 described species, but it is not until recently that they gained attention as sources for antimicrobial drug discovery. An increasing amount of studies are investigating ant-microbe ...
The antimicrobial potential of Streptomyces from insect microbiomes
(2019)
Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis and few novel antimicrobials have been discovered in recent decades. Natural products, particularly from Streptomyces, are the source of most antimicrobials, yet discovery ...
The Role of the Ecosystem Engineer, the Leaf-Cutter Ant Atta cephalotes, on Soil CO2 Dynamics in a Wet Tropical Rainforest
El Rol de las Hormigas Cortadoras de Hojas en la Dinámica del CO2 en un Bosque Tropical Lluvioso
(2019)
Leaf‐cutter ants are dominant herbivores that disturb the soil and create biogeochemical hot spots. We studied how leaf‐cutter ant Atta cephalotes impacts soil CO2 dynamics in a wet Neotropical forest. We measured soil CO2 ...
