A rapid and simple protocol for the isolation of bacteriophages from coastal organisms
Echeverría-Vega, Alex; Morales-Vicencio, Pablo; Saez-Saavedra, Camila; Gordillo-Fuenzalida, Felipe; Araya, Rubén (2019)This work details a protocol for recovering bacteriophages from intertidal sessile mussels and testing their lytic activity against pathogenic bacteria. Although bacteriophages were highly abundant in coastal filter-feeding ...

Cellulases production by a trichoderma sp. using food manufacturing wastes
Gordillo-Fuenzalida, Felipe; Echeverría-Vega, Alex; Cuadros-Orellana, Sara ; Faúndez, Claudia; Kähne, Thilo; Morales-Vera, Rodrigo (2019)The cost of cellulase enzymes is a main contributor to the operational cost of a biorefinery producing ethanol from lignocellulosic material. Therefore, onsite production of enzymes using low-value substrates might be an ...

Identification of altered genes in gallbladder cancer as potential driver mutations for diagnostic and prognostic purposes: a computational approach
D'Afonseca, Vívian; Arencibia-Rodríguez, Ariel; Echeverría-Vega, Alex; Cerpa, Leslie; Cayún, Juan P.; Varela, Nelson M.; Salazar, Marcela; Quiñones, Luis A. (2020)Prognostic markers for cancer can assist in the evaluation of survival probability of patients and help clinicians to assess the available treatment modalities. Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rare tumor that causes 165 087 ...

Microbiology and nitrogen cycle in the benthic sediments of a glacial oligotrophic deep andean lake as analog of ancient martian lake-beds
Parro, Victor; Puente-Sánchez, Fernando; Cabrol, Nathalie A.; Gallardo-Carreño, Ignacio; Moreno-Paz, Mercedes; Blanco, Yolanda; García-Villadangos, Miriam; Tambley, Cristian; Tilot, Virginie C.; Thompson, Cody; Smith, Eric; Sobrón, Pablo; Demergasso, Cecilia S.; Echeverría-Vega, Alex; Fernández-Martínez, Miguel A.; Whyte, Lyle G.; Fairén, Alberto G. (2019)Potential benthic habitats of early Mars lakes, probably oligotrophic, could range from hydrothermal to cold sediments. Dynamic processes in the water column (such as turbidity or UV penetration) as well as in the benthic ...

Penicillium spp. mycotoxins found in food and feed and their health effects
Otero, C.; Arredondo, C.; Echeverría-Vega, Alex; Gordillo-Fuenzalida, Felipe (2020)Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi. These compounds have different structures and target different organs, acting at different steps of biological processes inside the cell. Around 32 mycotoxins ...
