Root associated bacteria are critical for plant growth and health. Understanding the
composition and role of root microbiota is crucial toward agricultural practices that are less …

Agriculture is facing a major challenge nowadays: to increase crop production for food and
energy while preserving ecosystem functioning and soil quality. Argentine Pampas is one of …

TcP2β ribosomal protein genes in Trypanosoma cruzi are encoded by four different loci, H6.4,
H1.8, H1.5 and H1.3. All loci have a similar organization, except for H1.8 that harbors two …

Arsenic metabolism is proposed to be an ancient mechanism in microbial life. Different
bacteria and archaea use detoxification processes to grow under high arsenic concentration. …

We describe stromatolites forming at an altitude of 3570 m at the shore of a volcanic lake
Socompa, Argentinean Andes. The water at the site of stromatolites formation is alkaline, …

Background Legumes are the third largest family of angiosperms and the second most
important crop class. Legume genomes have been shaped by extensive large-scale gene …

To improve transfection efficiency in Trypanosoma cruzi, we developed a new electroporation
protocol and expression vectors which use luciferase and green and red fluorescent …

“High‐altitude Andean Lakes” ( HAAL ) are pristine environments harboring poly‐extremophilic
microbes that show combined adaptations to physical and chemical stress such as large …

Exiguobacterium sp. strain S17 is a moderately halotolerant, arsenic-resistant bacterium
that was isolated from Laguna Socompa stromatolites in the Argentinian Puna. The draft …

The high-altitude Andean lakes (HAAL) in the Argentinean Puna-high Andes region represent
an almost unexplored ecosystem exposed to extreme conditions (high UV irradiation, …
