• Algae-Bacteria Consortia as a Strategy to Enhance H2 Production 

      Fakhimi, Neda; González-Ballester, David; Fernández, Emilio; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Dubini, Alexandra (MDPI, 2020)
      Biological hydrogen production by microalgae is a potential sustainable, renewable and clean source of energy. However, many barriers limiting photohydrogen production in these microorganisms remain unsolved. In order to ...
    • Artemisia pollen is the main vector for airborne endotoxin 

      Oteros, José; Bartusel, Elke; Alessandrini, Francesca; Núñez, Andrés; Moreno, Diego; Behrendt, Heidrun; Schmidt-Weber, Carsten; Traidl-Hoffmann, Claudia; Buters, Jeroen (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2018)
      Background: Endotoxin (LPS) released from gram-negative bacteria causes strong immunologic and inflammatory effects and, when airborne, can contribute to respiratory conditions, such as allergic asthma. Objectives: We ...
    • Effect of microbial activity on penetrometer resistance and elastic modulus of soil at different temperatures 

      Gao, W.; Muñoz-Romero, Verónica; Ren, T.; Ashton, R. W.; Morin, M.; Clark, I. M.; Powlson, D. S.; Whalley, W. R. (Wiley, 2017)
      We explore the effect of microbial activity stimulated by root exudates on the penetrometer resistance of soil and its elastic modulus. This is important because it is a measure of the mechanical strength of soil and it ...
    • Effects of Soil Quality on the Microbial Community Structure of Poorly Evolved Mediterranean Soils 

      Camacho, Antonio; Mora, César; Picazzo, Antonio; Rochera, Carlos; Camacho-Santamans, A.; Morant, Daniel; Roca-Pérez, Luis; Ramos-Miras, José Joaquín; Rodríguez- Martín, José A.; Boluda, Rafael (MPDI, 2022)
      Physical and chemical alterations may affect the microbiota of soils as much as the specific presence of toxic pollutants. The relationship between the microbial diversity patterns and the soil quality in a Mediterranean ...
    • HapX-Mediated Iron Homeostasis Is Essential for Rhizosphere Competence and Virulence of the Soilborne Pathogen Fusarium oxysporum 

      Sánchez López-Berges, M.; Capilla, Javier; Turrà, David; Schafferer, Lukas; Matthijs, Sandra; Jöchl, Christoph; Cornelis, Pierre; Guarro, Josep; Haas, Hubertus; Di Pietro, Antonio (ASPB, 2012)
      Soilborne fungal pathogens cause devastating yield losses and are highly persistent and difficult to control. During the infection process, these organisms must cope with limited availability of iron. Here we show that the ...
