Aerobiology from an Inactive Pyrite Mine: the Genome Sequence of the Airborne P...
Gonzalez-Pimentel, J; Domínguez-Moñino, I; Jurado, V; Caldeira, A T; Saiz-Jiménez, CPseudomonas sp. strain L5B5 is an antimicrobial-producing bacterium isolated from an air sample collected in a pyrite mine in Lousal, Portugal. Genomic analyses predicted genes involved in virulence factors. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium, which consists of a circular chromosome with a length of 6,811,662 bp.
Prokaryotic communities from a lava tube cave in La Palma Island (Spain) are in...
Gonzalez-Pimentel, J; Martin-Pozas, T; Jurado, V; Miller, A; Caldeira, A T; Fernandez-Lorenzo; Sanchez-Moral, S; Saiz-Jimenez, CLava caves differ from karstic caves in their genesis and mineral composition. Subsurface microbiology of lava tube caves in Canary Islands, a volcanic archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, is largely unknown. We have focused the investigation in a representative lava tube cave, Fuente de la Canaria Cave, in La Palma Island, Spain, which presents different types of speleothems and colored microbial mats. Four samp...
The Rare Actinobacterium Crossiella sp. Is a Potential Source of New Bioactive ...
Gonzalez-Pimentel, J; Moñino, I; Jurado, V; Laiz, L; Caldeira, A T; Saiz-Jimenez, CAntimicrobial resistance has become a global problem in recent decades. A gradual reduction in drug discoveries has led to the current antimicrobial resistance crisis. Caves and other subsurface environments are underexplored thus far, and they represent indispensable ecological niches that could offer new molecules of interest to medicine and biotechnology. We explored Spanish show caves to test the bioactivit...
