Lactococcus lactis is capable of improving the riboflavin status in deficient rats
(Cambridge University Press, 2005-08)
Lactococcus lactis is a commonly used starter strain that can be converted from a vitamin B2 consumer into a vitamin B2 'factory' by over-expressing its riboflavin biosynthesis genes. The present study was conducted to ...
Inheritance of resistance to pyrethroids in Triatoma infestans, the main Chagas disease vector in South America
(Elsevier Science, 2010-12)
An outbreak of pyrethroid resistance was recently detected in Triatoma infestans from northern Argentina. To analyze the inheritance of the resistant phenotype, we carried out experimental crosses between resistant (R) and ...
Temperature effect on the sensitivity of the copepod Eucyclops serrulatus (crustacea, copepoda, cyclopoida) to agricultural pollutants in the hyporheic zone
(Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2015-08)
The sensitivity of freshwater invertebrates to agricultural pollutants is supposed to increase with rising temperature due to global warming. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of temperature on the lethal ...
Do pine plantations provide mycorrhizal inocula for seedlings establishment in grasslands from Patagonia, Argentina?
(Springer, 2011-03)
We investigated if Pinus ponderosa plantations in Patagonia are able to produce viable mycorrhizal inocula towards adjacent grasslands, which only harbor endomycorrhizal vegetation. We hypothesized that these inocula have ...
Effects of host species and host age on biological parameters of Anagrus virlai (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), an egg parasitoid of Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Peregrinus maidis (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-04)
Dalbulus maidis (DeLong) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Peregrinus maidis (Ashmead) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) are important pests for maize production in America. Anagrus virlai Triapitsyn (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) is a ...
Analytical applications of microbial fuel cells. Part II: Toxicity, microbial activity and quantification, single analyte detection and other uses
(Elsevier, 2014-05-09)
Microbial fuel cells were rediscovered twenty years ago and now are a very active research area. The reasons behind this new activity are the relatively recent discovery of electrogenic or electroactive bacteria and the ...
Indigenous strains of Beauveria and Metharizium as potential biological control agents against the invasive hornet Vespa velutina
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-03)
Alien species often miss parasites in their invaded area, and this is the case in Vespa velutina. This invasive hornet predator of bees was accidentally introduced in Europe from East China in 2004. The control of this ...
From the butterfly’s point of view: Learned colour association determines differential pollination of two co-occurring mock verbains by Agraulis vanillae (Nymphalidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-06)
Learning plays an important role in the location and utilization of nectar sources for pollinators. In this work we focus on the plant-pollinator interaction between the butterfly Agraulis vanillae (Nymphalidae) and two ...
Evaluation of the effectiveness of a bioremediation process in experimental soils polluted with chromium and lindane
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-10)
Bioremediation using actinobacterium consortia proved to be a promising alternative for the purification of co-contaminated environments. In this sense, the quadruple consortium composed of Streptomyces sp. M7, MC1, A5, ...
Germinación y supervivencia de dos especies vegetales en altas concentraciones de boro
(Asociación Argentina de Energía Solar, 2007-12)
En Salta existen extensas superficies contaminadas con boro, producto de la actividad industrial. Una técnica para descontaminar suelos es la fitorremediación. El primer paso es detectar las especies vegetales tolerantes, ...
