      BackgroundDiarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) pathogenicity relies on the interaction of bacteria with the host's gut environment, which is regulated by the resident microbiota. Previously, we identified indicative bacterial species ...
    • Romero, J.; García-Varela, M.; Laclette, J. P.; Espejo Torres, Romilio (2002)
      To explore the bacterial microbiota in Chilean oyster (Tiostrea chilensis), a molecular approach that permits detection of different bacteria, independently of their capacity to grow in culture media, was used. Bacterial ...
    • Osman, Jorge; Viedma, Pabla; Mendoza Crisosto, Jorge; Cotoras, Davor (Taylor & Francis, 2020)
      Microbialites are organo-sedimentary structures formed as minerals precipitate due to the metabolic activity of microorganisms. They can be differentiated by their internal mesostructure into stromatolites and thrombolites. ...
    • Den Blaauwen, Tanneke; Andreu, José Manuel; Monasterio Opazo, Octavio (Elsevier, 2014)
      Proteins involved in bacterial cell division often do not have a counterpart in eukaryotic cells and they are essential for the survival of the bacteria. The genetic accessibility of many bacterial species in combination with ...

      The rhizosphere is considered the primary place for soil microbiome differentiation and plays a key role in plant survival, especially for those subjected to environmental stress. Using high-throughput sequencing of the ...
    • Aguilar, Pablo; Dorador, Cristina; Vila Pinto, Irma; Sommaruga, Ruben (Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
      Copyright © 2019 Aguilar, Dorador, Vila and Sommaruga.Species of the genus Nostoc (Cyanobacteria) can form large colonies of up to several centimeters in diameter that may represent a unique habitat for bacteria in ...
    • Espejo Torres, Romilio; Romero Ormazábal, Jaime (1997)
      Most copper bioleaching plants operate with a high concentration of sulfate salts caused by the continuous addition of sulfuric acid and the recycling of the leaching solution. Since the bacteria involved in bioleaching ...
