Draft Genome Sequences of Two Cyanobacteria Leptolyngbya spp. Isolated from Microbial Mats in Miravalles Thermal Spring, Costa Rica
(2021)
We report the draft genome sequences of Leptolyngbya sp. strain 7M and Leptolyngbya sp. strain 15MV, isolated from Miravalles Thermal Spring, Costa Rica. The thermophilic cyanobacteria exhibit unique diversity features ...
Evidence for Widespread Associations between Neotropical Hymenopteran Insects and Actinobacteria
(2017)
The evolutionary success of hymenopteran insects has been associated with complex physiological and behavioral defense mechanisms against pathogens and parasites. Among these strategies are symbiotic associations between ...
Expanding the application scope of on-farm biopurification systems: Effect and removal of oxytetracycline in a biomixture
(2017)
Antibiotic-containing wastewaters produced in agricultural activities may depress the pesticidedegrading capacity of biomixtures contained in biopurification systems. This work aimed to assay the effect of oxytetracycline ...
Genome Sequencing of Sulfolobus sp. A20 from Costa Rica and Comparative Analyses of the Putative Pathways of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Sulfur Metabolism in Various Sulfolobus Strains
(2016-11-30)
The genome of Sulfolobus sp. A20 isolated from a hot spring in Costa Rica was sequenced. This circular genome of the strain is 2,688,317 bp in size and 34.8% in G+C content, and contains 2591 open reading frames (ORFs). ...
Does a polyphagous caterpillar have the same gut microbiota when feeding on different species of food plants?
(Revista de Biología Tropical 50(2): 547-560, 2002, 2002)
We used classical culture techniques to explore gut bacteria and changes associated with dietary change in the highly polyphagous, tropical caterpillar Automeris zugana(Saturniidae). Fifty-five third instar wild-caught ...
Novel Sulfolobus Virus with an Exceptional Capsid Architecture
(2017)
A novel archaeal virus, denoted Sulfolobus ellipsoid virus 1 (SEV1), was isolated from an acidic hot spring in Costa Rica. The morphologically unique virion of SEV1 contains a protein capsid with 16 regularly spaced ...
A microbial consortium from a biomixture swiftly degrades high concentrations of carbofuran in fluidized-bed reactors
(2016)
An on-farm biopurification system (BPS) biomixture, with proven capacity to degrade carbofuran (CBF) was used as inoculum for a selective-enrichment process to obtain a bacterial consortium capable of using CBF as a sole ...
