Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) Is a tree that was domesticated in pre-Hispanic times in Mesoamerica. Its fruit rich in oils is highly valued for its nutritional, cosmetic and medicinal properties. Most of the studies on ...

The reactive oxygen species (ROS) as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2•-) are produced at all levels of the resistance reactions in the plants the oxidative stress in plants is caused by biotic (pathogens ...

In bacteria horizontal gene transfer is mediated by mobile elements such as plasmids. The conjugative pUM505 plasmid was isolated from a clinical strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and confers resistance to chromate and ...

In the present study the analysis of the genomic sequence of a plant growth promoting bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens UM270 was carried out, which has shown the capacity to produce volatile and diffusible compounds that ...

The microbial resistance to antibiotics has a global effect, specifically in clinical and agricultural sectors, with economic repercussions in human health. An alternative for solving these problems is the investigation ...

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic elements made up of a toxin gene and its antitoxin cognate, which are important for the stabilization of plasmids (encoded in plasmids) and in bacterial virulence (encoded in ...

The bagasse of Agave tequilana Weber is a lignocellulosic residue remained from the tequila elaboration process. Actually, industrial usage not has been described for this residue; however, it may be used for chemicals ...

The increase of diseases caused by fungi in animals and plants as well as of oomycetes phytopathogens, caused by the resistance to the fungicides, have generated across time, the incessant search to find a substance that ...

The aim of this research was to elucidate the genome of the plant growth promoting strain COPE52 and its effect during coinoculation with other beneficial bacteria to promote the growth of blueberry plants (Vaccinium spp.). ...

Yeasts have a wide application in biotechnology, mainly by their fermentative capacity; however, in the fermentation process stressful conditions can be generated, such as temperature increases. This has generated an ...
