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)"?-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 ?-diversity indices. Our results of gradual ... -
Autotrophic denitrification of nitrate rich wastewater in fluidized bed reactors using pyrite and elemental sulfur as electron donors
