Evaluation of hydrothermal and alkaline pretreatment routes for xylooligosaccharides production from sugar cane bagasse using different combinations of recombinant enzymes
(Springer, 2023-10)Xylan is the most abundant constituent of hemicellulose fraction of lignocellulosic biomass. Short xylooligosaccharides (XOS), obtained via xylan hydrolysis, have well-known prebiotic and antioxidant properties that are ... -
Evidence of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Argentina through molecular detection in marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus)
(Elsevier, 2019-04)Vector-borne pathogens are responsible for serious emerging diseases and have been widely described in wildlife. Ehrlichia chaffeensis causes the zoonotic “monocytic ehrlichiosis” in humans, is transmitted by the tick ... -
Expanding the benefits of Tnt1 for the identification of dominant mutations in polyploid crops: A single allelic mutation in the MsNAC39 gene produces multifoliated alfalfa
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)Most major crops are polyploid species and the production of genetically engineered cultivars normally requires the introgression of transgenic or gene-edited traits into elite germplasm. Thus, a main goal of plant research ... -
Experimental selection of long‐term intracellular mycobacteria
(Wiley, 2014-09)Some intracellular bacteria are known to cause long‐term infections that last decades without compromising the viability of the host. Although of critical importance, the adaptations that intracellular bacteria undergo ... -
Exploring sunflower responses to Sclerotinia head rot at early stages of infection using RNA‑seq analysis
(Springer Nature, 2020-08)Sclerotinia head rot (SHR), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most devastating sunflower crop diseases. Despite its worldwide occurrence, the genetic determinants of plant resistance ... -
Exploring the cellulolytic activity of environmental mycobacteria
(Elsevier, 2024-07)Although studies on non-tuberculous mycobacteria have increased in recent years because they cause a considerable proportion of infections, their cellulolytic system is still poorly studied. This study presents a ... -
Exploring the role of the NO‑detoxifying enzyme HmpA in the evolution of domesticated Alfalfa Rhizobia
(Springer, 2022-02)We have previously shown the extensive loss of genes during the domestication of alfalfa rhizobia and the high nitrous oxide emission associated with the extreme genomic instability of commercial inoculants. In the present ... -
FasR regulates fatty acid biosynthesis and is essential for virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10)Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of human tuberculosis, is the world’s leading cause of death from an infectious disease. One of the main features of this pathogen is the complex and dynamic lipid composition ... -
Fiebre manchada en Argentina. Descripción de dos casos clínicos = Spotted fever in Argentina. Description of two clinical cases
(Elsevier España, 2019-12)Las rickettsiosis son enfermedades zoonóticas transmitidas por artrópodos vectores, que en Argentina presentan 2 escenarios epidemiológicos diferenciados. Uno, en las yungas de Salta y Jujuy, involucra vectores pertenecientes ... -
First Case Reports of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) Lung Disease in Ecuador: Important Lessons to Learn
(MDPI, 2023-04)Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung infections are often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis, which can lead to ineffective antibiotic treatments. In this report, we present three cases of NTM lung infections in Ecuador that ... -
First complete genome sequence of potato leafroll virus from Argentina
(2017-07)In this study, we determined for the first time the complete genomic sequence of an Argentinian isolate of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), the type species of the genus Polerovirus. The isolate sequenced came from a Solanum ... -
First Genome Sequence of Leptospira interrogans Serovar Pomona, Isolated from a Bovine Abortion
(2016)Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonosis and a re-emergent disease of global distribution with major relevance in veterinary pro- duction. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of Leptospira interrogans serovar Pomona ... -
Fitness of drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the impact on the transmission among household contacts
(Elsevier, 2014-12)There has been an on-going debate on whether the development of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis reduces its relative fitness and its ability to cause disease. The aim of this study was to explore this ... -
From lignocellulosic metagenomes to lignocellulolytic genes : trends, challenges and future prospects
(2016)Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass on Earth with immense potential to act as a primary resource for the production of a range of compounds currently obtained from fossil fuel sources. However, lignocellulosic ... -
Functional and biochemical properties of Mal de Río Cuarto virus (Fijivirus, Reoviridae) P9-1 viroplasm protein show further similarities to animal reovirus counterparts
(Elsevier, 2010-09)Mal de Río Cuarto virus (MRCV) is a plant virus of the genus Fijivirus within the family Reoviridae that infects several monocotyledonous species and is transmitted by planthoppers in a persistent and propagative manner. ... -
Functional characterization and intracellular localization of a Lotus tenuis NHX antiporter
(Springer, 2021-05)Lotus tenuis is a perennial forage legume widely scattered in the flooding Pampa region of Argentina. Even when it is considered a salt-tolerant species, the molecular basis underlying this trait still remains unknown. ... -
Fungicide resistance in Cercospora species causing cercospora leaf blight and purple seed stain of soybean in Argentina
(Wiley, 2020-12)Cercospora species cause cercospora leaf blight (CLB) and purple seed stain (PSS) on soybean. Because there are few resistant soybean varieties available, CLB/PSS management relies heavily upon fungicide applications. ... -
Galacturonosyltransferase 4 silencing alters pectin composition and carbon partitioning in tomato
(2013-04)Pectin is a main component of the plant cell wall and is the most complex family of polysaccharides in nature. Its composition is essential for the normal growth and morphology pattern, as demonstrated by pectin-defective ... -
Generation of a multi‑herbicide‑tolerant alfalfa by using base editing
(Springer, 2022-02)We present the first report on base editing in alfalfa. Specifically, we showed edited alfalfa with tolerance to both sulfonylurea- and imidazolinone-type herbicides. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is one of the most important ... -
