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 ... -
Genetic dissection of vitamin E biosynthesis in tomato
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2011-07)Vegetables are critical for human health as they are a source of multiple vitamins including vitamin E (VTE). In plants, the synthesis of VTE compounds, tocopherol and tocotrienol, derives from precursors of the shikimate ... -
Genetic diversity of maize landraces from lowland and highland agro‐ecosystems of Southern South America: implications for the conservation of native resources
(Wiley, 2012-05)The North of Argentina is one of the southernmost areas of maize landrace cultivation. Two distinct centres of diversity have been distinguished within this region: Northwestern Argentina (NWA), and Northeastern Argentina ... -
Genetic diversity of Mycobacterium avium complex strains isolated in Argentina by MIRU-VNTR
