Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology
Production of added-value microbial metabolites during growth of yeast strains on media composed of biodiesel-derived crude glycerol and glycerol/xylose blends
Value-added metabolites synthesized by fermentation of glycerol and glycerol-xylose blends by yeasts.
Food Microbiology
Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of food-associated Lactobacillus plantarum isolates for potential probiotic activities
This study supports a specific preliminary platform to characterize Lactobacillus plantarum intended for fermentation purposes and for probiotic consumption on the basis of genotype and phenotype.
Efficiency of PEG secondary concentration and PCR for the simultaneous concentration and quantification of foodborne bacteria, viruses and protozoa
Simultaneous detection of bacteria, viruses and protozoa in raspberries.
Physiology and Biochemistry
Deletion of the trehalose tps1 gene in Kluyveromyces lactis does not impair growth in glucose
The absence of trehalose in Kluyveromyces lactis cells does not affect growth rates of this yeast in glucose, fructose or galactose.
Novel synthetic lipopeptides derived from Mycoplasma hyorhinis upregulate calpastatin in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and induce a neuroprotective effect against amyloid-β-peptide toxicity
Neuroprotective effect of lipopeptides derived from Mycoplasma hyorhinis.
Novel mechanisms of TolC-independent decreased bile-salt susceptibility in Escherichia coli
Mutations in adenylate cyclase or the EI enzyme confer low-level decreased susceptibility to the secondary bile salt sodium deoxycholate in Escherichia coli.
Rhamnolipids stabilize quorum sensing mediated cooperation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Rhamnolipids are amphiphilic molecules produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa; here it is demonstrated that they selectively inhibit the growth of lasR mutants, decreasing the exploitation of exoproteases produced by the wild-type strain.
