MiDAS 4: A global catalogue of full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences and taxonomy for studies of bacterial communities in wastewater treatment plants
(Springer Nature, 2022)"Microbial communities are responsible for biological wastewater treatment, but our knowledge of their diversity and function is still poor. Here, we sequence more than 5 million high-quality, full-length 16S rRNA gene ... -
The role of eugenol and ferulic acid as the competitive inhibitors of transcriptional regulator RhlR in P. aeruginosa
(Elsevier, 2022)"Search inhibitors of Quorum Sensing (QS) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are challenging to find therapies due to the broad antibiotic resistance. Therefore, this study aimed to probe ten aromatic compounds as inhibitors of ... -
Optimization of ultrasonic-assisted extraction of polyphenols from the polyherbal formulation of Cinnamomum verum, Origanum majorana, and Origanum vulgare and their anti-diabetic capacity in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Elsevier, 2022)"The Cinnamomum verum (CV), Origanum majorana (CM), and Origanum vulgare (OV) have been used in traditional medicine in several regions of México for their anti-diabetic properties. In this study investigated the variables ... -
Interaction between plants growing together from germination to 2 years: A test of competition and phylogenetic closeness for Northeastern Mexico
(Universidad de Concepción, 2022)"Competition and facilitation are important factors affecting seedling survival. These factors probably affect plant distribution and abundance. Interactions between species relate to phylogeny, in that closely related ... -
Shopping for Ecological Indices? On the Use of Incidence-Based Species Compositional Similarity Measures
(MDPI, 2022)"β-diversity has been under continuous debate, with a current need to better understand the way in which a new wave of measures work. We assessed the results of 12 incidence-based β-diversity indices. Our results of gradual ... -
Autotrophic denitrification of nitrate rich wastewater in fluidized bed reactors using pyrite and elemental sulfur as electron donors
(Elsevier, 2022)"This study compared denitrification performances and microbial communities in fluidized bed reactors (FBRs) carrying out autotrophic denitrification using elemental sulfur (S0) and pyrite (FeS2) as electron donors. The ... -
Carbamazepine degradation by visible-light-driven photocatalyst Ag3PO4/GO: Mechanism and pathway
(Elsevier, 2022)"Carbamazepine (CBZ), as one of the most frequently detected pharmaceuticals, is of great concern due to its potential impact on the ecosystem and human health. This study provides an effective approach to remove CBZ by ... -
Data for the synthesis, characterization, and use of xerogels as adsorbents for the removal of fluoride and bromide in aqueous phase
(Elsevier, 2022)"Groundwater with high fluoride concentrations has been recognized as one of the serious concerns worldwide. Besides, the fluoride released into the groundwater by slow dissolution of fluoride-containing rocks, various ... -
Experimental drought on seedlings in a canopy gap and understory of a tropical cloud forest, Veracruz, Mexico
(Instituto de Ecología, A.C, 2022)"Background and Aims: Droughts induced by climate change are expected to affect tropical cloud forests. As functional traits are useful indicators of plant species performance, this study aimed to determine the effect of ... -
Seed integrity, effect of temperature and storage time on germination of Populus luziarum and P. primaveralepensis, endangered subtropical species from Mexico
(Sociedad Botánica de México, 2022)"Background: Populus luziarum and P. primaveralepensis are endemic species of western Mexico; growing in riparian forests they are critically endangered. The best way to conserve their seeds is unknown, which could be ... -
Physiological ecology of Mexican CAM plants: history, progress, and opportunities
(Sociedad Botánica de México, 2022)"In Mexico, plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are part of the Mexican culture, have different uses and are even emblematic. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of the Mexican CAM plants has been studied ... -
What is a biocrust? A refined, contemporary definition for a broadening research community
(Wiley, 2022)"Studies of biological soil crusts (biocrusts) have proliferated over the last few decades. The biocrust literature has broadened, with more studies assessing and describing the function of a variety of biocrust communities ... -
Lactic acid fermentation of food waste at acidic conditions in a semicontinuous system: effect of HRT and OLR changes
(Springer Nature, 2022)"Lactic acid production through fermentation is an established technology, however, improvements are necessary to reduce the process costs and to decrease its market price. Lactic acid is used in many industrial sectors ... -
Landscape attributes shape dung beetle diversity at multiple spatial scales in agricultural drylands
(Elsevier, 2022)"Land-use change is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss worldwide, but its negative effects can vary depending on the spatial scale analyzed. Considering the continuous expansion of agricultural demand for land, ... -
