Enrichment and application of a high-performance sulfate-reducing microbial community to treat acidic streams
(2024-08-30)"Las corrientes ácidas, como el drenaje ácido de minas (DAM) tienen un pH bajo (pH < 4) y altas concentraciones de metales y sulfatos. Los microorganismos sulfato-reductores (SR) pueden ayudar a remediar las corrientes ... -
Dynamics of short-term ecosystem carbon fluxes induced by precipitation events in a semiarid grassland
(European Geosciences Union, 2023)Infrequent and small precipitation (PPT) events characterize PPT patterns in semiarid grasslands; however, plants and soil microorganisms are adapted to use the unpredictable small pulses of water. Several studies have ... -
Anammox with alternative electron acceptors: perspectives for nitrogen removal from wastewaters
(Springer Nature, 2023)In the context of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation process (anammox), great scientific advances have been made over the past two decades, making anammox a consolidated technology widely used worldwide for nitrogen removal ... -
Simultaneous nitrification and autotrophic denitrification in fluidized bed reactors using pyrite and elemental sulfur as electron donors
(Elsevier, 2023)In this study, simultaneous nitrification and autotrophic denitrification (SNAD) with either elemental sulfur or pyrite were investigated in fluidized bed reactors in mesophilic conditions. The reactor performance was ... -
Effect of thermal and ultrasonic pretreatment on lactic acid fermentation of food waste
(SAGE, 2023)Food waste (FW) generation has become one of the largest environmental concerns for human society. Thanks to its chemical features and its high biodegradability, FW can be used as starting platform to produce biocommodities. ... -
Co-Fermentation of Agri-Food Residues Using a Co-Culture of Yeasts as a New Bioprocess to Produce 2-Phenylethanol
(MDPI, 2023)Whey is a dairy residue generated during the production of cheese and yogurt. Whey contains mainly lactose and proteins, contributing to its high chemical oxygen demand (COD). Current environmental regulations request ... -
Interpopulation variation in seed germination and seed traits of Opuntia streptacantha
(Professional Association for Cactus Development, 2023)Cacti have a wide distribution in the arid and semi-arid ecosystems of Mexico, with environmental variations affecting both physical and physiological seed traits. Herein, the physical and ecophysiological ... -
Interaction Networks Help to Infer the Vulnerability of the Saproxylic Beetle Communities That Inhabit Tree Hollows in Mediterranean Forests
(MDPI, 2023)Insect populations are facing unprecedented changes in many ecosystems worldwide. However, do these changes make insect communities more vulnerable? The study of interaction networks can help to answer this question. We ... -
Infection intensity shapes specialization and beta diversity of haemosporidian–bird networks across elevations
(Wiley, 2023)Host–parasite distribution and interactions depend on geography, evolutionary associations, species composition, and their response to environmental variables. In this sense, host specificity as a key parasite's life history ... -
Microwave-assisted synthesis of carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles for their use as electrocatalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction
(Elsevier, 2023)Pt nanoparticles were incorporated on carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R) and an activated carbon (F400) using a fast and efficient microwave method. For the preparation, a Pt solution was contacted with the corresponding carbon ... -
Predicting geographic distribution and habitat suitability of Opuntia streptacantha in paleoclimatic, current, and future scenarios in Mexico
(Wiley, 2023)Mexican territory is one of the centers of origin and dispersion of the genus Opuntia, where several of its species have been an important plant resource for people in arid and semiarid zones. Opuntia streptacantha is ... -
RecruitNet: A global database of plant recruitment networks
(Wiley, 2023)Plant recruitment interactions (i.e., what recruits under what) shape the composition, diversity, and structure of plant communities. Despite the huge body of knowledge on the mechanisms underlying recruitment interactions ... -
Patterns of Richness and Endemism in the Gypsicolous Flora of Mexico
(MDPI, 2023)Gypsum soils occur around the world, mainly in arid regions. These harsh environments promote unusual flora with high degrees of endemism. Mexico has extensive gypsum outcrops, but their flora has been poorly studied. ... -
Are nurse plants useful for facilitating the reintroduction of mid- and late successional tree species in tropical montane cloud forests?
(Sociedad Botánica de México, 2023)Background: In Mexico, where 50 % of the original Tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) has been lost due to human activities, the restoration of these forests is essential. Questions and/or hypotheses: (1) Liquidambar ... -
Effect of storage time and pre-germination treatments on nine native herbaceous species with the potential to restore degraded soils of La Primavera Forest, Jalisco
(Sociedad Botánica de México, 2023)Background: Percentage and speed of germination are crucial factors that can restrict processes involved in plant succession during ecological restora-tion. Pre-germination treatments and the effect of storage time on ... -
Caracterización taxonómica de comunidades arsenato-reductoras y su potencial para la detoxificación de arsénico
(2023-10-12)"El arsénico es un metaloide que puede estar presente en el ambiente ya sea por fuentes naturales o antropogénicas. La exposición de los seres vivos al arsénico causa diversos efectos nocivos, por lo que su remoción del ... -
Preparation of carbon materials from chromium-tanned leather shavings for the removal of dyes from aqueous solution
(Springer Nature, 2022)"Chromium-Tanned Leather Shavings are hazardous residues generated during leather processing. Since they contain considerable amounts of chromium, they represent a threat to life and the environment if managed improperly. ... -
The value of biotic pollination and dense forest for fruit set of Arabica coffee: A global assessment
