Impact of land use history on the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity in arid soils of Argentinean farming fields
(Oxford University Press, 2020-08)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a key soil functional group, with an important potential to increase crop productivity and sustainable agriculture including food security. However, there is clear evidence that land ...
Soil microbial community responses to different sugarcane management strategies as revealed by 16S metagenomics
(International Society of Sugar Cane Technologists, 2019-09)
Sugarcane cultivation in Argentina is distributed in three geographic regions: Tucumán, Northern (Salta and Jujuy) and Littoral (Santa Fe and Misiones), covering about 376,223 ha. Tucumán has traditionally been the most ...
Covariation patterns of Phytoplankton and Bacterioplankton in hypertrophic shallow lakes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-11)
The aim of this work was to assess the temporal patterns in the community composition of phytoplankton (PCC) and bacterioplankton (BCC) in two interconnected and hypertrophic Pampean shallow lakes in Argentina. Factors ...
Influence of vintage, geographic location and cultivar on the structure of microbial communities associated with the grapevine rhizosphere in vineyards of San Juan Province, Argentina
(Public Library of Science, 2020-12-14)
Soil microbiomes, as a primary reservoir for plant colonizing fungi and bacteria, play a major role in determining plant productivity and preventing invasion by pathogenic microorganisms. The use of 16S rRNA and ITS ...
Molecular characterization of a new Bacillus thuringiensis strain from Argentina toxic against Lepidoptera and Coleoptera based on its whole-genome analysis
(Asociación de Jóvenes Investigadores en Formación, 2019)
The insecticidal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis are used as formulations of spore-crystal complexes and their genes have been incorporated into several crops, which has provided a model for genetic engineering in ...
16S rRNA gene amplicon dataset of prokaryotic communities from a subantarctic marine ecosystem: Ushuaia Bay and surrounding waters
(Elsevier Inc, 2020-10)
We provide a 16S rRNA gene dataset of prokaryotic assemblages of a subantarctic marine ecosystem. Samples were collected at 2 stations (one near Ushuaia Bay and the other close to Bridges islands in the Beagle Channel). ...
A different gut microbiome linked to inflammation found in cirrhotic patients with and without hepatocellular carcinoma
(Mexican Association of Hepatology, 2019-05)
Introduction and aim: A pro-oncogenic intestinal microbiome was observed in murine models; however, no specific microbiome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been reported. We aimed to compare the gut ...
Genomic analysis of the first isolate of KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from Uruguay
(Elsevier, 2018-12-03)
Objectives: Since KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with successful dissemination of a major clone, defined as sequence type 258 (ST258), the aim of this study was to perform whole-genome sequencing (WGS) ...
Soil lead pollution modifies the structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities
(Springer, 2019-07)
The impact of lead (Pb) pollution on native communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was assessed in soil samples from the surroundings of an abandoned Pb smelting factory. To consider the influence of host identity, ...
Prospecting for viral natural enemies of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta in Argentina
(Public Library of Science, 2018-02)
Metagenomics and next generation sequencing were employed to discover new virus natural enemies of the fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren in its native range (i.e., Formosa, Argentina) with the ultimate goal of testing and ...
