    • Characterization of gelatinase produced by Antarctic Mrakia sp. 
      Yuivar, Yassef; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Cifuentes, Victor; Baeza, Marcelo (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2019)
      In the present study, 20 psychrotolerant yeast species isolated from the soils of King George Island in the sub-Antarctic region were evaluated for the production of extracellular gelatinase, an enzyme with high potential ...
    • Citizens’ Surveillance Micro-network for the Mapping of PM2.5 in the City of Concón, Chile 
      Gramsch, Ernesto; Morales Salinas, Luis; Baeza, Marcelo; Ayala, Cristian; Soto, Cristian; Neira, José; Pérez, Patricio; Moreno, Francisco (Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research, 2020)
      A micro-network of low-cost sensors has been built and deployed in the city of Concon with the purpose of informing the community about the air quality in their neighborhood. Currently, 10 active stations, which are installed ...
    • Isolation and characterization of extrachromosomal double-stranded RNA elements from carotenogenic yeasts 
      Baeza, Marcelo; Fernández Lobato, María; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Cifuentes, Víctor (Humana Press, 2018)
      Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules are widely found in yeasts and filamentous fungi. It has been suggested that these molecules may play an important role in the evolution of eukaryote genomes and could be a valuable ...
    • Metallopeptidase Stp1 activates the transcription factor Sre1 in the carotenogenic yeast Xanthophyllomyces ... 
      Gómez, Melissa; Gutiérrez Gutiérrez, María Soledad; González, Ana; Gárate Castro, Carla; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Barahona, Salvador; Baeza, Marcelo; Cifuentes, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020)
      Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycete yeast known as a natural producer of astaxanthin, a carotenoid of commercial interest because of its antioxidant properties. Recent studies indicated that X. dendrorhous has ...
    • Pectinase secreted by psychrotolerant fungi: Identification, molecular characterization and heterologous ... 
      Carrasco, Mario; Rozas, Juan Manuel; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Cifuentes, Víctor; Baeza, Marcelo (BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
      Background: Pectinolytic enzymes, which are used in several industries, especially in the clarification process during wine and fruit juice production, represent approximately 10% of the global enzyme market. To prevent ...
    • Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (Sre1) promotes the synthesis of carotenoids and sterols in ... 
      Gutiérrez, María Soledad; Campusano, Sebastián; González, Ana María; Gómez, Melissa; Barahona, Salvador; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Espenshade, Peter J.; Fernández-Lobato, María; Baeza, Marcelo; Cifuentes, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
      Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycete yeast that synthesizes carotenoids, mainly astaxanthin, which are of great commercial interest. Currently, there are many unknown aspects related to regulatory mechanisms ...
