Rapid shift in microbial community structure in a neutral hydrothermal hot spring from Costa Rica
(2020)In this work, we characterize the geochemistry and microbial community of Bajo las Peñas, a neutral (pH 6.5-7.4), hot spring (T = 62.0-68.0°C) located near Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica. The microbiota at its two sources ... -
Bocaparvovirus, Erythroparvovirus and Tetraparvovirus in New World Primates from Central America
(2020)Parvoviruses in the genera Bocaparvovirus (HBoV), Erythroparvovirus (B19) and Tetraparvovirus (PARV4) are the only autonomous parvoviruses known to be associated with human and non‐human primates based on studies and ... -
ArsH protects Pseudomonas putida from oxidative damage caused by exposure to arsenic
(2020-03-23)The two As resistance arsRBC operons of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 are followed by a downstream gene called arsH that encodes an NADPH‐dependent flavin mononucleotide reductase. In this work, we show that the arsH1 and (to ... -
The putative phosphate transporter PitB (PP1373) is involved in tellurite uptake in Pseudomonas putida KT2440
(2020)Tellurium oxyanions are chemical species of great toxicity and their presence in the environment has increased because of mining industries and photovoltaic and electronic waste. Recovery strategies for this metalloid that ... -
Using Student Profiles to Motivate and Understand How to Attract Women to Computer Science
(2020)This article reports how to build and analyze student profiles to influence the perception that girls and young women have of the profession, and of the diverse work opportunities that exist in Computer Science in Costa ... -
General Chemistry Without Orbitals
(2020)We illustrate the solutions of Schroedinger's equation for the hydrogen atom in coordinates of all four systems, and differentiate the applicability of orbitals in these four systems. We present reasons that future textbooks ... -
Concomitant prediction of environmental fate and toxicity of chemical compounds
(2020)The environmental fate of many functional molecules that are produced on a large scale as precursors or as additives to specialty goods (plastics, fibers, construction materials, etc.), let alone those synthesized by the ... -
Short communication: Effect of different kefir grains on the attributes of kefir produced with milk from Costa Rica
(2020)Kefir is an artisanal product that is gaining scientific attention due to its increase in consumption attributed to its potential health benefits. The effect on the quality attributes of kefir grains of different origin ... -
Purpureocillium roseum sp. nov. A new ocular pathogen for humans and mice resistant to antifungals
(2020)Background Infectious keratitis is the main cause of preventable blindness worldwide, with about 1.5–2.0 million new cases occurring per year. This inflammatory response may be due to infections caused by bacteria, fungi, ... -
Richness and metallo-tolerance of cultivable fungi recovered from three high altitude glaciers from Citlaltépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes (Mexico)
(2020)In Mexico little is known about high-altitude glacial psychrotolerant or psychrophilic fungal species, with most glacial fungi isolated from polar environments or Alpine glaciers. It has been documented that some of these ... -
Three new species of Gliocephalotrichum causing fruit rot on different hosts from Brazil
(2020-09-18)The genus Gliocephalotrichum (Nectriaceae), originally described as a soil-borne fungus, has been associated with postharvest diseases, especially of tropical fruits. Taxonomic studies using both morphological and molecular ... -
Predation of the Rolled-Leaf Beetle Cephaloleia kressi García-Robledo (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) by the Rove Beetle Phanolinus Sp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Xanthopygina) in a Montane Forest of Costa Rica
(2020-12-22)The genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat includes 215 species, known as rolled-leaf beetles, all of which are restricted to the Neotropics (Garcı́a-Robledo et al. 2015; Staines and Garcı́a-Robledo 2014). These beetles complete their ... -
Reproducible molecular networking of untargeted mass spectrometry data using GNPS
(2020-05-13)Global Natural Product Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) is an interactive online small molecule–focused tandem mass spectrometry (MS2) data curation and analysis infrastructure. It is intended to provide as much chemical ... -
Microbial Community Structure Alogn a Horizontal Oxygen Gradient in a Costa Rican Volcanic Influeced Acid Rock Drainage System
(2020-06-22)We describe the geochemistry and microbial diversity of a pristine environment that resembles an acid rock drainage (ARD) but it is actually the result of hydrothermal and volcanic influences. We designate this environment, ... -
Estudio de prefactibilidad técnico y financiero para el desarrollo de libros “scratch & sniff” con aromas característicos de Costa Rica
(2020-12-09)El presente estudio consiste en una evaluación de prefactibilidad técnico-financiera para el desarrollo de tarjetas scratch & sniff con aromas de Costa Rica. La propuesta contempla ofrecer dichas tarjetas junto con un libro ... -
Photoreactivity of Oil and Alcoholic Diterpenic Varnishes: Key Role of the Polymerization Process
(2020)he conservation of artworks is a key issue in cultural heritage. The alterations of the varnish could be linked mainly to the photopolymerization of the natural resin. The photodegrada- tion of sandarac and rosin under ... -
Oral administration of Costa Rican guava (Psidium friedrichsthalianum) juice induces changes in urinary excretion of energy-related compounds in Wistar rats determined by 1H NMR
(2020-08)Introduction: Psidium friedrichsthalianum fruits have in vitro antioxidant activity and their intake has been suggested to have potential health benefits; however, there is still no evidence on the potential in vivo effect ... -
Use of a theoretical prediction method and quantum chemical calculations for the design, synthesis and experimental evaluation of three green corrosion inhibitors for mild steel
(2020)Three phenylmethanimine derivatives (Schiff bases) were designed after a theoretical prediction of their corrosion inhibition efficiencies and a corroboration through the use of quantum chemical calculations. The molecules ... -
Adipostatins E-J, new potent antimicrobials identified as inhibitors of coenzyme-A biosynthesis
(2020-01)Phosphopantetheine is a key structural element in biological acyl transfer reactions found embedded within coenzyme A (CoA). Phosphopantothenoylcysteine synthetase (PPCS) is responsible for installing a cysteamine group ... -
From Ideality to Simplicity: A Robust and Affordable Hydrogen Reference Electrode
(2020-02-01)In electrochemistry, the concept of a reference electrode is fundamental. Introductory courses might mention the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), its working principle, and its theoretical design; however, chances are ...
