Purification and characterization of trypsin from intestinal and pyloric caecal tissues from the silk snapper, Lutjanus vivanus (Cuvier, 1828)
(2003)
In an effort to better understand the chemical digestion of proteins in the silk
snapper, Lutjanus vivanus (Cuvier, 1828), and thereby obtain a deeper understanding of

Fluorescent based assessment of trypsin activity vs total proteases in the queen triggerfish, Balistes vetula
(2007)
Amino acids that comprise proteins constitute essential nutrients for any animal
organism. Indeed they are directly related to its growth and maintenance. Protein
assimilation depends on the catalytic properties of ...

(2018)
Grasses play an important role in the proper functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, as well as worldwide economic systems. Within these systems, the production of high quality forages for the nourishment and support of ...
Comparative genomics of indels in primate lineages and the possible effect of the MET promoter indel on gene expression
(2016)
Approximately six million years ago, the human and chimpanzee lineages diverged from a common ancestor resulting in two distinct species with a great number of different morphological, behavioral, cognitive and other ...
Metabolic and molecular characterization of an acetate and lactate-degrading microbial consortium
(2014)
Acetate is one of the most important intermediaries in the degradation of organic matter in anaerobic environments where carbon dioxide is the dominant electron acceptor. In these environments, acetate is recycled by ...

(2019)
The Solanaceae family is one of the largest and well distributed plant families in the world. It contains species with agricultural and economical importance such as potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes and peppers. In Puerto ...
Caracterización de las poblaciones de colémbolos asociados a la hojarasca de un bosque secundario en Mayagüez, Puerto Rico
(2010)
Collembolans are small arthropods, abundant in litter and, often regarded as good indicators of soil health. Diversity and abundance of litter springtails was analyzed in a Mayaguez secondary forest in leaf litter of ...
Protonematal dispersal by water, wind, and animal
(2013)
Bryophyte dispersal allows population establishment, recruitment, and survival. This dispersal can be carried out in many ways, such as: water, wind, animal, and even gravity. The dispersal mechanisms have enabled the short ...
