A snapshot view of some vertical distributions of water parameters at a deep (200 m) station in the fjord-like Golfo Dulce, embayment, Costa Rica
(2006-09-01)Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and inorganic nutrients were measured at a single station in the water column (200 m) of Golfo Dulce, a fjord-like embayment on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, from June 1993 ... -
Butanol production by Clostridium beijerinckii BA101 using cassava flour as fermentation substrate: enzymatic versus chemical pretreatments
(2011)Cassava flour (CF), a cost-effective source of starch, was employed as a substrate for successful acetone butanol-ethanol (ABE) production by batch-fermentation with Clostridium beijerinckii. The effect of temperature, initial ... -
Calidad bacteriológica y desechos sólidos en cinco ambientes costeros de Costa Rica
(2006-09-01)Anthropogenic waste and water bacteriological quality were surveyed twice a year in 2000 and in 2002 at five coastal marine environments in Costa Rica, one in the Caribbean (Moín Bay) and four in the Pacific (Culebra ... -
Calidad fisicoquímica y microbiológica del agua costera en Nicoya, Costa Rica: comparación de tres playas con diferente impacto turístico y administración
(2023-12)El crecimiento socioeconómico ha causado presión sobre los ecosistemas marinos, y existe poca información que pueda ser utilizada para el manejo de playas en Nicoya, Costa Rica. Objetivo: Determinar la calidad fisicoquímica ... -
Caracterización físico-química de dos estuarios en la bahía de Golfito, Golfo Dulce, Pacífico de Costa Rica
(2006-09-01)The temporal and spatial distributions of salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, Secchi disk depth, suspended matter, dissolved inorganic nutrients and chlorophyll a, were determined in two mangrove estuaries at Golfito ... -
Características físicas, químicas y microbiológicas del agua subterránea en Los Chiles, Costa Rica, y su asociación con el uso del suelo
(2023)Introduction: Los Chiles has one of the lowest Social Progress Indexes in Costa Rica. The inhabitants drink untreated groundwater from an aquifer across the Nicaragua-Costa Rica border. Objective: To characterize water ... -
Chapter 11: Antiviral, Antimicrobial, and Antibiofilm Properties of Biosurfactants
(2021-04-01)In an era of increasing drug resistance, the search for antimicrobial agents is crucial for the development of a sustainable future. Biosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules with recognised surface tension, and biological ... -
Exploring low enthalpy geothermal energy in Costa Rica: A pilot project to improve tourism energy matrix efficiency
(2022-12)Geothermal energy has been an important and stable part of the renewal energy matrix of Costa Rica for more than 25 years. However, the exploitation has been centred in high enthalpy energy for electric power generation, ... -
Identification of New Snake Venom Metalloproteinase Inhibitors Using Compound Screening and Rational Peptide Design
(2012)The majority of snakebite envenomations in Central America are caused by the viperid species Bothrops asper, whose venom contains a high proportion of zinc-dependent metalloproteinases that play a relevant role in the ... -
Physical characteristics of nano-Hydroxyapatite Pickering-emulsions and their adjuvant activity on the antibody response towards the Bothros asper snake venom
(2019)Emulsions are crucial in the treatment of snake bites to bust the antibody response of the inmunogen. The widely used Freund's emulsion typically combines 50/50 water-oil (W/O) phase. However, its use is limited because ...
