Bacterial communities in residential wastewater treatment plants are physiologically adapted to high concentrations of quaternary ammonium compounds
Chacón Jiménez, Luz María; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo; Arias Andrés, María de Jesús (2023-08-28)Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) widely used as the active ingredient of disinfectants. Its excessive discharge into wastewater is constant and in high concentrations, likely affecting ... -
Benchmarking AI-based plasmid annotation tools for antibiotic resistance genes mining from metagenome of the Virilla River, Costa Rica
Rojas Villalta, Dorian; Calderón Osorno, Melany; Barrantes Jiménez, Kenia; Arias Andrés, María de Jesús; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo (2023)Bioinformatics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) stand as rapidly evolving tools that have facilitated the annotation of mobile genetic elements (MGEs), enabling the prediction of health risk factors in polluted environments, ... -
Collateral effects of microplastic pollution on aquatic microorganisms: An ecological perspective
Arias Andrés, María de Jesús; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo; Grossart, Hans-Peter (2018-12-05)Microplastics (MP) provide a unique and extensive surface for microbial colonization in aquatic ecosystems. The formation of microorganism-microplastic complexes, such as biofilms, maximizes the degradation of organic ... -
Demonstration of antibiotic-induced tolerance development in tropical agroecosystems through physiological profiling of sediment microbial communities
Arias Andrés, María de Jesús; Ruepert, Clemens; García Santamaría, Fernando; Rodríguez Sánchez, César (2014-01)Agricultural use of antibiotics differs quantitatively and qualitatively in tropical and temperate countries. To gain insight into the nature and magnitude of physiological adaptations prompted by these drugs in microbial ... -
Ecological and Public Health Effects of Microplastics Pollution
Arias Andrés, María de Jesús; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo (2022-01)Humans and ecosystems are constantly exposed to microplastics (MP). The magnitude of contamination, their ubiquity, and high persistence over time raise serious concerns about their effects on ecosystems, wildlife, and ... -
El impacto de la resistencia a los antibióticos en el desarrollo sostenible
Barrantes Jiménez, Kenia; Chacón Jiménez, Luz María; Arias Andrés, María de Jesús (2022)La resistencia a los antimicrobianos (RAM) es un problema de salud pública cada vez más complejo y se considera como una de las mayores amenazas en todo el mundo. El desarrollo de la RA en los patógenos bacterianos es una ... -
Inland Water Fungi in the Anthropocene: Current and Future Perspectives
Grossart, Hans-Peter; Hassan, Elhagag Ahmed; Masigol, Hossein; Arias Andrés, María de Jesús; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo (2022-06)Fungi are increasingly gaining interest from aquatic microbial ecologists. The application of new molecular tools has revealed that they are a ubiquitous and highly diverse organismic group in aquatic environments with ... -
Microplastic pollution increases gene exchange in aquatic ecosystems
Arias Andrés, María de Jesús; Klümper, Uli; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo; Grossart, Hans-Peter (2018-06)Pollution by microplastics in aquatic ecosystems is accumulating at an unprecedented scale, emerging as a new surface for biofilm formation and gene exchange. In this study, we determined the permissiveness of aquatic ... -
Microplastics in feed cause sublethal changes in the intestinal microbiota and a non-specific immune response indicator of the freshwater crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae)
Guillén Watson, Rossy; Arias Andrés, María de Jesús; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo; Wehrtmann, Ingo S. (2023-07-18)Microplastics (MP) are a hazardous pollutant of global concern that threatens aquatic ecosystems and public health. We used the invasive, cosmopolitan, and environmentally versatile red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii ... -
Short-term exposure to benzalkonium chloride in bacteria from activated sludge alters the community diversity and the antibiotic resistance profile
Chacón Jiménez, Luz María; Arias Andrés, María de Jesús; Mena Torres, Freylan; Rivera Montero, Luis César; Hernández Gómez, Lorena; Achí Araya, María Rosario; García Santamaría, Fernando; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo (2021-12)The continuous introduction of cleaning products containing benzalkonium chloride (BAC) from household discharges can mold the microbial communities in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in a way still poorly understood. ...
