The signaling mechanisms involved in the dimorphic phenomenon of the Basidiomycota fungus Ustilago maydisInternational Microbiology - Tập 23 - Trang 121-126 - 2020
José Ruiz-Herrera, Fernando Pérez-Rodríguez, John Velez-Haro
In the present manuscript, we describe the mechanisms involved in the yeast-to-hypha dimorphic transition of the plant pathogenic Basidiomycota fungus Ustilago maydis. During its life cycle, U. maydis presents two stages: one in the form of haploid saprophytic yeasts that divide by budding and the other that is the product of the mating of sexually compatible yeast cells (sporidia), in the form of...... hiện toàn bộ
Bacterial communities associated with Zeldia punctata, a bacterivorous soil-borne nematodeInternational Microbiology - Tập 25 - Trang 207-216 - 2021

Soil inhabiting organisms are important determinants of agroecosystem productivity. Understanding the composition, the abundance, and the type of interactions established by soil microorganisms is therefore crucial to design strategies to improve agricultural practices and agroecosystem management. In this study, we collected Zeldia punctata nematodes in maize fields in South Africa and profiled t...... hiện toàn bộ
A new spike-in-based method for quantitative metabarcoding of soil fungi and bacteriaInternational Microbiology - - Trang 1-12 - 2023
Miguel Camacho-Sanchez
Metabarcoding is a powerful tool to characterize biodiversity in biological samples. The interpretation of taxonomic profiles from metabarcoding data has been hindered by their compositional nature. Several strategies have been proposed to transform compositional data into quantitative data, but they have intrinsic limitations. Here, I propose a workflow based on bacterial and fungal cellular inte...... hiện toàn bộ

This study aimed to analyze Escherichia coli from marketed meat samples in Peru. Sixty-six E. coli isolates were recovered from 21 meat samples (14 chicken, 7 beef), and antimicrobial resistance levels and the presence of mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, as well as clonal relationships and phylogeny of colistin-resistant isolates, were established. High levels of antimicrobial resistance were ...... hiện toàn bộ
Safety, functional properties and technological performance in whey-based media of probiotic candidates from human breast milkInternational Microbiology - Tập 22 - Trang 265-277 - 2018
María Florencia Zacarías, Ana Binetti, Wilhelm Bockelmann, Jorge Reinheimer, Knut Heller, Gabriel Vinderola
We aimed at isolating and characterising microorganisms present in human breast milk with probiotic potential. In an 8-week postpartum sampling period, two strains of bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium longum LM7a and Bifidobacterium dentium LM8a’) and four strains of lactobacilli were isolated, all during the first 4-week postpartum. B. longum LM7a and B. dentium LM8a’, together with four strains pr...... hiện toàn bộ
Inhibition of biofilm formation, quorum sensing and virulence factor production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 by selected LasR inhibitorsInternational Microbiology - Tập 26 - Trang 851-868 - 2023

The quorum sensing network of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mediates the regulation of genes controlling biofilm formation and virulence factors. The rise of drug resistance to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections has made quorum sensing–regulated biofilm formation in clinical settings a major issue. In the present study, LasR inhibitors identified in our previous study were evaluated for their antibiofilm ...... hiện toàn bộ
