Collybia sensu lato of the central and western regions of Puerto Rico: biotechnological capabilities, characterization and identification using traditional and molecular techniques
(2004)
An eighteen month survey at the central and western regions of Puerto Rico was done to monitor Collybia sensu lato (s.l.). The genus Collybia is in the Basidiomycota division, order Agaricales. They are saprophytes and can ...
The purple non-sulfur anoxyphototrophic bacteria from subtropical hypersaline microbial mats in the Cabo Rojo Salterns
(2011)
Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) are a diverse group of microbes with versatile physiological traits. As part of the microbial community present in subtropical hypersaline microbial mats, they are exposed to seasonal ...
Detection and microbiological and molecular characterization of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the clam Phacoides (Lucina) pectinatus (Gmelin, 1791) and the oyster Crassostrea rhizophorae (Guilding, 1828) from the southwest coast of Puerto Rico
(2017)
Bivalves such as clams and oysters are filtering mollusks that inhabit aquatic environments. These
organisms are relevant in the food industry for the potential presence of pathogenic bacteria, such
as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, ...
Unraveling the microbiome of the snail Caracolus marginella using metagenomics
(2018)
The increased of Antibiotic Resistance (AR) is currently one of the most important public health threats faced worldwide. Increasing rates on AR has been observed globally. The use and analysis of non-traditional techniques ...
Identification and biotechnological potential of novel purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) from aquatic environments in Puerto Rico
(2019-05-15)
The anoxygenic photosynthetic purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) have caught the attention of the scientific community due to their metabolic diversity. These microorganisms have the ability to adapt to fluctuations in ...
Molecular analysis, physiological study and biotechnological capabilities of Blue Pigmented Bacteria from Puerto Rico.
(2010)
In the microbial world, pigments are one of the most interesting characteristics. There are many bacterial pigments, but some of them, such as blue pigments are unusual. Blue-pigmented bacteria (BPB) are very uncommon; ...
Detection and analysis of antimicrobial agents using metagenomic libraries generated from aquatic bodies of Puerto Rico
(2016)
Antimicrobials have been used for hundreds of years, being effective in the reduction and complete control of microbial growth. Increasing incidences of antimicrobial resistance (AR) has been observed globally. Escherichia ...
Culture dependent and functional genomic analysis of bioprospects capable of producing antibacterial agents
(2017)
Regardless of new technologies, increasing availability of vaccines, and novel medicine advances, infectious diseases are one of the principal causes of human mortality. Infectious disease control has become even more ...
Generation of large-insert metagenomic libraries from subtropical hypersaline microbial mats and their screening for antibiotic resistance
(2012)
Most of the microbial diversity in an environment cannot be studied through laboratory standard media culture methods. For this, an emerging science, coined “Metagenomics”, has been developed as an effort to access the ...
Bacterias fototróficas anoxigénicas púrpuras no-sulfurosas en la fitotelmata de bromelias en diversos bosques de Puerto Rico
(2009)
Due to the special arrangement of their leaves, plants of the Bromeliaceae family like bromeliad are capable of forming special structures that create an environment called phytotelmata. This aquatic microhabitat serves ...
