      Mon, Maria Laura; Marrero Diaz De Vill, Rubén; Campos, Eleonora; Soria, Marcelo Abel; Talia, Paola Mónica (Springer Open, 2022-08)
      The aim of the present study was to assess the biochemical and molecular structural characteristics of a novel alkali-thermostable GH10 xylanase (Xyl10B) identified in a termite gut microbiome by a shotgun metagenomic ...
    • Characterization of two GH5 endoglucanases from termite microbiome using synthetic metagenomics 

      Ben Guerrero, Emiliano; Marrero Diaz De Villegas, Ruben; Soria, Marcelo Abel; Santangelo, María De La Paz; Campos, Eleonora; Talia, Paola Mónica (Springer, 2020-08)
      Here, we characterize two novel GH5 endoglucanases (GH5CelA and GH5CelB) from an uncultured bacterium identified in termite gut microbiomes. Both genes were codon-optimized, synthetized, cloned, and expressed as recombinant ...
    • Diversity structure of the microbial communities in the guts of four neotropical termite species 

      Vikram, Surendra; Arneodo Larochette, Joel Demian; Calcagno, Javier; Ortiz, Maximiliano; Mon, Maria Laura; Etcheverry, Clara; Cowan, Donald; Talia, Paola Mónica (Peer J Inc., 2021-04)
      The termite gut microbiome is dominated by lignocellulose degrading microorganisms. This study describes the intestinal microbiota of four Argentinian higher termite species with different feeding habits: Microcerotermes ...
