The use of nanomaterials has spread and been applied in different industries, including agriculture. Here, the possibilities presented by NMs are very varied, from biostimulation favorable responses, or control pests diseases, to monitoring characteristics interest with nanosensors. Particularly agricultural crops is relevant, since this process stress tolerance, higher content biocompounds, et...

Ion-specific effects on the aqueous solubilities of biomolecules are relevant in many areas of biochemistry and life sciences. However, a general and well-supported molecular picture of the phenomena has not yet been established. In order to contribute to the understanding of the molecular-level interactions governing the behavior of biocompounds in aqueous saline environments, classical molecu...

Streptomyces clavuligerus produces simultaneously cephamycin C (CephC) and clavulanic acid (CA). Adding 1,3-diaminopropane to culture medium stimulates production of beta-lactam antibiotics. However, there are no studies on the influence of this diamine on coordinated production of CephC and CA. This study indicates that 1,3-diaminopropane can dissociate CephC and CA productions. Results indica...

This study describes a new strategy toward the development of advanced immunosensors based on chemically functionalized magnetic-core/porous-shell CoFe2O4/Cu2O composite nanoparticles, and the preparation, characterization, and measurement of relevant properties of the immunosensor useful for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in clinical immunoassay. The immunosensor based on...

Marine microalgae have been used for a long time as food for humans, such as Arthrospira (formerly, Spirulina), and for animals in aquaculture. The biomass of these microalgae and the compounds they produce have been shown to possess several biological applications with numerous health benefits. The present review puts up-to-date the research on the biological activities and applications of pol...

The canning industry plays a crucial role in the sector of marine foods, but produces several organic wastes and effluents with reduced economic value that must be upgraded to comply circular bioeconomy principles. Initially, we have searched best experimental conditions for hydrolysis upper lower halves from yellowfin tuna ( Thunnus albacares ) heads by four commercial proteases (alcalase, pap...
