Characterization of an Alsodes pehuenche breeding site in the Andes of central Chile

Piñeiro, Alejandro; Fibla, Pablo; López, Carlos; Velásquez, Nelson; Pastenes Opazo, Luis Eduardo (2020)

Alsodes pehuenche, an endemic anuran that inhabits the Andes of Argentina and Chile, is considered “Critically Endangered” due to its restricted geographical distribution and multiple potential threats that affect it. This ...

Characterization of exopolysaccharide produced by pseudomonas sp. PFAB4 for synthesis of EPS-coated AgNPs with antimicrobial properties

Banerjee, Aparna; Das, Debasis; Rudra, Shalini G.; Mazumder, Koushik; Andler-Osorio, Rodrigo; Bandopadhyay, Rajib (2020)

Thermal ecosystems like hot springs are exclusive habitat of thermotolerant microorganisms that produce exopolysaccharides (EPS). In this study, EPS produced by a hot spring origin Pseudomonas species is structurally ...

Characterization of five chilean agribusiness by-products and their potential use as food supplements

Mirabal-Gallardo, Yaneris; Caramantin Soriano, Maria d. P.; Olate, Verónica R.; Guzmán Jofré, Luis; Huang, Hou Yi; Pyarasani, Radha D.; Amalraj, John; Laurie, Felipe (2021)

Chilean agribusiness generates large quantities of by-products and they have been little studied. According to the literature they represent important sources of sugar, protein, lipid, micronutrient, fiber, and others that ...
