(MICROBIOLOGY SOCIETY, 2020-12)The genus Acidihalobacter has three validated species, Acidihalobacter ferrooxydans, Acidihalobacter prosperus and Acidihalobacter aeolinanus, all of which were isolated from Vulcano island, Italy. They are obligately ... -
High quality RNA extraction from Maqui berry for its application in next-generation sequencing
(CIENCIAS, 2016)Maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis) is a native Chilean species that produces berries that are exceptionally rich in anthocyanins and natural antioxidants. These natural compounds provide an array of health benefits for ... -
High-Quality Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Strain 629, an Endophyte from Theobroma cacao
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2015)Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain 629 is an endophyte isolated from Theobroma cacao L. Here, we report the draft genome sequence (3.9 Mb) of B. amyloliquefaciens strain 629 containing 16 contigs (3,903,367 bp), 3,912 coding ... -
Identification and Unusual Properties of the Master Regulator FNR in the Extreme Acidophile Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019)The ability to conserve energy in the presence or absence of oxygen provides a metabolic versatility that confers an advantage in natural ecosystems. The switch between alternative electron transport systems is controlled ... -
Identification of functional signatures in the metabolism of the three cellular domains of life
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)In order to identify common and specific enzymatic activities associated with the metabolism of the three cellular domains of life, the conservation and variations between the enzyme contents of Bacteria, Archaea, and ... -
Identification of Modules With Similar Gene Regulation and Metabolic Functions Based on Co-expression Data
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019)Biological systems respond to environmental perturbations and to a large diversity of compounds through gene interactions, and these genetic factors comprise complex networks. In particular, a wide variety of gene co-expression ... -
Implications of Selective Autophagy Dysfunction for ALS Pathology
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-02)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a lethal neurodegenerative disorder that progressively affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Due to the biological complexity of the disease, its etiology remains unknown. ... -
Improved ontology for eukaryotic single-exon coding sequences in biological databases
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018)Efficient extraction of knowledge from biological data requires the development of structured vocabularies to unambiguously define biological terms. This paper proposes descriptions and definitions to disambiguate the term ... -
In vitropropagation ofLeptocarpha rivularis, a native medicinal plant
(Springer New York, 2020-12)Leptocarpha rivularis, commonly known as "palo negro", is a species of the Astereaceae family, endemic in the forests of Southern Chile. The extracts of this plant have medicinal properties attributable to its secondary ... -
Influence of mobile genetic elements and insertion sequences in long- and short-term adaptive processes of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strains
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-07-05)The recent revision of the Acidithiobacillia class using genomic taxonomy methods has shown that, in addition to the existence of previously unrecognized genera and species, some species of the class harbor levels of ... -
Inhibitory effect of serotype a of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans on the increased destructive potential of serotype b
