Cianobacterias en la bahía de Mayagüez: abundancia, distribución y su relación con las propiedades bio-ópticas.
(2007)
Mayagüez Bay is a complex environment with variety of physical and biological processes
influencing the spatial and temporal variability of bio-optical properties. This research
focused on the role of cyanobacteria because ...
Purification and kinetic characterization of trypsin from the intestine and pyloric caeca of the white grunt, Haemulon plumierii, (Lacepède, 1801)
(2004)
Trypsin is one of several animal digestive proteases whose activities collectively
breakdown ingested proteins to facilitate gut amino acid absorption. The goals of this
research were to purify and characterize trypsin ...

(2001)
Laboratory experiments were conducted to understand the influence of Wedelia
trilobata (L.) Hitchc. on the oviposition of Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring over
tomato leaves and on the presence of Cosmopolites ...
Possible role of adenine and thymine rich sequence in the encapsidation pattern of Parvovirus LuIII
(2007)
LuIII is a small, non-enveloped, icosahedral autonomous parvovirus that contains a small
linear (5 kb) single stranded DNA genome and infects human cell lines lytically with no
evidence of integration into cellular DNA. ...
Effects of thermal oxidation of gamma titanium aluminide on human osteoblast adhesion
(2009)
The corrosion resistance of gamma titanium aluminide (gamma-TiAl), a potential
implant material, is increased in vitro by thermal oxidation. Although the biocompatibility of
autoclaved gamma-TiAl was previously demonstrated, ...
Procedencia del ADN mitocondrial euroasiático occidental en Puerto Rico
(2009)
This study analyzed 102 mtDNA control region sequences with the objective of classifying them into sub-haplogroups and estimating their continental origin. Principal component analysis of the western Eurasian sub-haplogroups ...
Microorganismos presentes en la pared del tubo digestivo de Onychochaeta borincana (Oligochaeta: Glossoscolecidae)
(2005)
Scanning electron microscopy was used to detect the presence of microorganisms on the internal intestinal surface of Onychochaeta borincana. The intestines of fourteen adult specimens were extracted, washed, and prepared ...
Hyphomycetes associated with submerged bamboo leaves (Bambusa vulgaris) in Quebrada de Oro in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.
(2008)
Leaf litter is a major source of nutrients for heterotrophic organisms in aquatic ecosystems in which microorganisms contribute significantly to the breakdown process of leaf litter. Fungi as aquatic hyphomycetes are ...

Cordia bellonis Urb. is a rare and endemic shrub located in the Maricao and Río Abajo
Commonwealth Forests. No individuals were registered in the Susúa forest. The species grows
on serpentine and limestone soils, at edges ...
Species richness of cyanobacteria, diatoms, and ciliates in microbial mats of the Cabo Rojo salterns, Puerto Rico
(2008)
Seasonal rains and the inflowof seawater into the Cabo Rojo salterns, Puerto Rico, induce changes in the concentration of dissolved salts. These environmental variations should have an effect in the composition and species ...
