Acinetobacter defence mechanims against biological aggressors and their use as alternative therapeutic applications
(Informa Healthcare, 2021-08)
Several Acinetobacter strains are important nosocomial pathogens, with Acinetobacter baumannii being the species of greatest worldwide concern due to its multi-drug resistance and the recent appearance of hyper-virulent ...
Output Feedback Linearization of Turbidostats after Time Scaling
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-06)
Turbidostats are a class of bioreactors gaining interest due to the recent availability of microscale and small-scale devices for characterization and scalingup of the biotechnological systems relevant in the biotech and ...
On the growth of non-motile bacteria colonies: an agent-based model for pattern formation
(Springer, 2019-09)
In the growth of bacterial colonies, a great variety of complex patternsare observed in experiments, depending on external conditions and the bacterial species. Typically, existing models employ systems of reaction-diffusion ...
Floral biology of Salvia stachydifolia, a species visited by bees and birds: Connecting sexual phases, nectar dynamics and breeding system to visitors' behaviour
(Oxford University Press, 2021-08)
Adaptive convergence in floral phenotype among plants sharing a pollinator guild has been acknowledged in the concept of pollination syndrome. However, many plants display traits associated with a given syndrome, but are ...
Editorial: Addressing roles for glycans in immunology using chemical biology
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-06)
Glycoconjugates, macromolecules containing carbohydrates (glycans) conjugated to proteins or lipids, are a diverse class of biopolymers capable of regulating cell-cell interactions. They are present in a high, natural ...
Contribution of predation to the biological control of a key herbivorous pest in citrus agroecosystems
(Wiley, 2019-03-21)
Biological control has traditionally simplified the view of trophic relationships between herbivorous pests and their natural enemies in agriculture. The success or failure of this pest management strategy is still mainly ...
Soil microbial processes in a pine silvopastoral system in NW Patagonia
(2018-02)
The conversion of native vegetation to tree plantation (afforestation) implies a drastic change in life forms and as a consequence, changes in the microenvironmental conditions, and the quantity and quality of organic ...
Evaluation of the design effects of different agropastoral systems on the diversity and density of spiders
(Spanish National Institute for Agriculture and Food Research and Technology, 2017-03)
Sustainable agro-ecological design is challenging when the goal is self-regulation of the system. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the agropastoral design system affects the spider community, as spiders are ...
Carbon-substrate utilization profiles by Cladorrhinum (Ascomycota)Perfiles de utilización de sustratos carbonados de Cladorrhinum (Ascomycota)
(Asociación Argentina de Microbiología, 2019-10-10)
Los hongos del género Cladorrhinum (Ascomycota) son agentes prometedores en el biocontrol de fitopatógenos, la promoción del crecimiento de las plantas y la producción de enzimas con aplicación tecnológica. En este trabajo ...
Three-dimensional temperature fields of the North Patagonian Sea recorded by Magellanic penguins as biological sampling platforms
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-04)
Temperature is a primary determinant of biogeographic patterns and ecosystem processes. Standard techniques to study the ocean temperature in situ are, however, particularly limited by their time and spatial coverage, ...
