Microalgal triglyceride (TAG) synthesis has attracted considerable attention. Particular emphasis been put towards characterizing the algal homologs of canonical rate-limiting enzymes, diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) and phospholipid:diacylglycerol (PDAT). Less work done to analyze from a phylogenetic perspective. In this work, we used HMMER iterative profiling functional analyses determine number sequence characteristics DGAT PDAT, as well related sequences that constitute their...

Phospholipase D (PLD) participates in the formation of phosphatidic acid, a precursor glycerolipid biosynthesis and second messenger. PLDs are part superfamily proteins that hydrolyze phosphodiesters share catalytic motif, HxKxxxxD, hence mechanism action. Although HKD-PLDs have been thoroughly characterized plants, animals bacteria, very little is known about these enzymes algae. To fill this gap knowledge, we performed biocomputational analysis by means HMMER iterative profiling, using...

The physicochemical and textural characteristics of river sediments and, essentially, their clays, are at the center a network biological geochemical factors that mutually modifying. Therefore, contamination, associated microorganisms strongly influence each other. In this work, from two sites urban Reconquista River, near Buenos Aires City, Argentina, exposed to different environmental contexts were characterized. huge differences in organic matter content vertical profile between both...

In this work, we report a simple and scalable method to produce high efficiency 3D graphene-based electrodes (GH) for bioelectrochemical systems. GH were obtained by self-assembly of graphene oxide, through slow reduction with ascorbic acid over conductive mesh-works (carbon cloth stainless-steel). The structure composition characterised electron microscopy (SEM) spectroscopy (FTIR Raman), whereas the electrodes' performance was tested chronoamperometry cyclic voltammetry in microbial...

Millimeter-length cables of bacteria were discovered growing along a graphite-rod electrode serving as an anode microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). The MEC had been inoculated with culture Fe-reducing microorganisms enriched from polluted river sediment (Reconquista river, Argentina) and was operated at laboratory controlled conditions for 18 days poised potential 240 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl), followed by 23 480 Ag/AgCl). Anode samples collected scanning electron microscopy, phylogenetic...
