Villarreal, Pablo; Carrasco, Mario; Barahona, Salvador; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo (BMC, 2018-07-05)Background: Microorganisms have evolved a number of mechanisms to thrive in cold environments, including the production of antifreeze proteins, high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and ergosterol. In this work, ...

Carrasco, Mario; Rozas, Juan Manuel; Barahona, Salvador; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo (2012)Background: Antarctica has been successfully colonized by microorganisms despite presenting adverse conditions for life such as low temperatures, high solar radiation, low nutrient availability and dryness. Although these ...

Contreras, Gabriela; Barahona, Salvador; Rojas, María C.; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (2013)Background: Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycetous yeast that is relevant to biotechnology, as it can synthesize the carotenoid astaxanthin. However, the astaxanthin levels produced by wild-type strains are ...
