Assembly methods for nanopore-based metagenomic sequencing: a comparative study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Metagenomic sequencing has allowed for the recovery of previously unexplored microbial genomes. Whereas short-read sequencing platforms often result in highly fragmented metagenomes, nanopore-based sequencers could lead to more contiguous assemblies due ...

The Spanish gut microbiome reveals links between microorganisms and Mediterranean diet

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Despite the increasing evidence of links between human gut and health, the number of gut microbiomes that have been studied to date at a country level are surprisingly low.

Thermal, spectroscopic, SEM and rheological datasets of native and quaternized guar gum

open access: yesData in Brief, 2020
The manuscript reports TGA, DTA, SEM and NMR datasets of native and quaternized guar gum as a tool for their characterization. The TGA and DTA data was acquired in temperature range 35–500 °C. Based on the TGA experimental values, activation energy plots

Ecology and bioprospecting [PDF]

open access: yesAustral Ecology, 2010
AbstractBioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity for new resources of social and commercial value. It is carried out by a wide range of established industries such as pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and agriculture as well as a wide range of comparatively new ones such as aquaculture, bioremediation, biomining, biomimetic engineering and ...

Bioprospecting keratinous materials

open access: yesInternational Journal of Trichology, 2010
The concept of bioprospecting for bioactive peptides from keratin-containing materials such as wool, hair, skin and feathers presents an exciting opportunity for discovery of novel functional food ingredients and nutraceuticals, while value-adding to cheap and plentiful natural sources. The published literature reports multiple examples of proline-rich

Dereplication of antimicrobial biosurfactants from marine bacteria using molecular networking

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Biosurfactants are amphiphilic surface-active molecules of microbial origin principally produced by hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria; in addition to the bioremediation properties, they can also present antimicrobial activity.
