Surface-Exposed Protein Moieties of Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 in Microaerophilic and Aerobic Conditions
(MDPI, 2024)Burkholderia cepacia complex infections remain life-threatening to cystic fibrosis patients, and due to the limited eradication efficiency of current treatments, novel antimicrobial therapies are urgently needed. Surface ... -
The effect of increasing temperature on olive trees (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea) biology: An integrated morphological, phenological and biomolecular study
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2019)This Doctoral Thesis is focused on olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea), the dominant tree crop over large areas of the Western Mediterranean Basin, with a production of 20,872,788 tonnes in 2018. Olive oil is ... -
The influence of structural and functional characteristics of lipid transfer protein on the biological resistance of Pinus Sylvestris L.
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)The dissertation presents the results of experimental studies of the structure and functions of the Scots pine lipid transfer protein gene (PsLTP1). New LTP gene sequences have been identified in the genome of Pinus ... -
The Intragenesis and Synthetic Biology Approach towards Accelerating Genetic Gains on Strawberry: Development of New Tools to Improve Fruit Quality and Resistance to Pathogens
(MDPI, 2021)Under climate change, the spread of pests and pathogens into new environments has a dramatic effect on crop protection control. Strawberry (Fragaria spp.) is one the most profitable crops of the Rosaceae family worldwide, ... -
The Microalgae Chlamydomonas for Bioremediation and Bioproduct Production
(MDPI, 2024)The extensive metabolic diversity of microalgae, coupled with their rapid growth rates and cost-effective production, position these organisms as highly promising resources for a wide range of biotechnological applications. ... -
The NtrYX Two-Component System of Paracoccus denitrificans Is Required for the Maintenance of Cellular Iron Homeostasis and for a Complete Denitrification under Iron-Limited Conditions
(MDPI, 2022)Denitrification consists of the sequential reduction of nitrate to nitrite, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, and dinitrogen. Nitrous oxide escapes to the atmosphere, depending on copper availability and other environmental ... -
The Potassium Transporter Hak1 in Candida Albicans, Regulation and Physiological Effects at Limiting Potassium and under Acidic Conditions
(MDPI, 2021)The three families of yeast plasma membrane potassium influx transporters are represented in Candida albicans: Trk, Acu, and Hak proteins. Hak transporters work as K+-H+ symporters, and the genes coding for Hak proteins ... -
The protective effect of extra-virgin olive oil in the experimental model of multiple sclerosis in the rat
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)This study has evaluated the effect of EVOO (Extra-Virgin olive oil), OA (oleic acid) and HT (hydroxytyrosol) in an induced model of MS through experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Dark Agouti 2-month old ... -
The role of selenium in shaping mice brain metabolome and selenoproteome through the gut-brain axis by combining metabolomics, metallomics, gene expression, and amplicon sequencing
(Elsevier, 2023)Selenium (Se) is a trace element crucial for human health. Recently, the impact of Se supplementation on gut microbiota has been pointed out as well as its influence on the expression of certain selenoproteins and gut ... -
Thioredoxin Downregulation Enhances Sorafenib Effects in Hepatocarcinoma Cells
(MDPI, 2019)Sorafenib is the first-line recommended therapy for patients with advanced hepatocarcinoma (HCC) in de-differentiation stage (presenting epithelial–mesenchymal transition, EMT). We studied the role of the thioredoxin system ... -
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Improves Muscle Involvement in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
