Updated global conservation status and priorities for marine turtles
Wallace, B. P.; Bandimere, A. N.; Abreu-Grobois, F. A.; Acosta, H.; Akiti, J.; Akomedi, M.; Alfaro-Shigueto, J.; Allen, C. D.; Angenda, D.; Ayissi, I.Assessing conservation status and pursuing applicable management priorities for marine megafauna across multiple scales pose significant challenges. Because marine turtles exemplify these challenges, the IUCN Marine Turtle Specialist Group (MTSG) developed the 'conservation priorities portfolio' (CPP) framework in 2011 to evaluate population risk and threats for regional management units (RMUs). Here, the MTSG ...
Development of an anti-Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm phage cocktail: Genomic ...
Blasco, L.; Bleriot, I.; Aledo, M. González de; Fernández-García, L.; Pacios, O.; Oliveira, Hugo Alexandre Mendes; López, M.; Ortiz-Cartagena, C.The need for alternatives to antibiotic therapy due to the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria (MDR), such as the nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii, has led to the recovery of phage therapy. In addition, phages can be combined in cocktails to increase the host range. In this study, the evolutionary mechanism of adaptation was utilized in order to develop a phage adapted to A. baumannii, named ph...

Edible films based on black chia (Salvia hispanica l.) seed mucilage containing...
Charles-Rodríguez, Ana V.; Rivera-Solís, Luz L.; Martins, Joana T.; Genisheva, Zlatina; Robledo-Olivo, Armando; González-Morales, SusanaFunctional films based on black chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed mucilage (BCm) containing Rhus microphylla (Rm) fruit phenolic extract were built and characterized. A hydro-alcohol extract (HAE) of Rm was incorporated as the bioactive agent due to its noteworthy phenolic profile, and good antioxidant and antifungal activities. The effects of the BCm concentration (0.2% and 0.4%, w/v), HAE incorporation, and the...
In vitro gastrointestinal digestion of microencapsulated extracts of Flourensia...
Rodríguez, D. Jasso de; Puente-Romero, G. N.; Díaz-Jiménez, L.; Rodríguez-García, R.; Ramírez-Rodríguez, H.; Villarreal-Quintanilla, J. A.; López, M.Recently, some species of the genus Flourensia have been identified by their potential health effects (e.g. anti-inflammatory and apoptotic). Encapsulation of plant extracts is a process that can allow an adequate dosage administration, as well as to protect bioactive compounds and improve their controlled release in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Therefore, the aims of this work were: to microencapsulate th...
Monte Carlo studies for the optimisation of the Cherenkov Telescope Array layout

Application of edible nanolaminate coatings with antimicrobial extract of Flour...
Salas-Méndez, Esperanza de Jesús; Vicente, A. A.; Pinheiro, Ana Cristina; Ballesteros, Lina F.; Silva, Pedro; Rodríguez-García, RaúlEdible coatings have potential to reduce postharvest losses of fruit such as tomato. In this study, the effects of nanolaminate coatings incorporated with extracts of Flourensia cernua, an endemic plant of the arid and semi-arid regions of Mexico, has been investigated. Ethanol extracts of F. cernua (FcE) were prepared and incorporated into polyelectrolyte solutions of alginate and chitosan. The nanolaminates w...
Edible films and coatings based on mango (var. Ataulfo) by-products to improve ...
Torres-León, Cristian; Vicente, A. A.; López, M.; Rojas, Romeo; Serna-Cock, Liliana; Alvarez-Pérez, Olga B.; Aguilar, Cristóbal N.Fruit waste and by-products are economical materials for the development of biodegradable and active packaging. The aims of this study were to develop, characterize and evaluate biodegradable coatings and films by using mango peel and antioxidant extracts of seed kernel. The proximate composition of peel was also determined. Structural, barrier, optical and antioxidant properties were analyzed in the films. Gas...
Perspectives on utilization of edible coatings and nano-laminate coatings for e...
López, M.; Cerqueira, Miguel Ângelo Parente Ribeiro; de Rodríguez, Diana Jasso; Vicente, A. A.It is known that in developing countries, a large quantity of fruit and vegetable losses results at postharvest and processing stages due to poor or scarce storage technology and mishandling during harvest. The use of new and innovative technologies for reducing postharvest losses is a requirement that has not been fully covered. The use of edible coatings (mainly based on biopolymers) as a postharvest techniqu...
Compositional features and bioactive properties of whole fraction from Aloe ver...
López, M.; Romaní, Aloia; Cerqueira, M. A.; Rodríguez-García, Raúl; Rodríguez, Diana Jasso de; Vicente, A. A.Aloe vera processing leaves generates a liquid and bagasse fraction. The resulting bagasse is mostly discarded as waste. Both the bagasse and liquid fraction can have interesting metabolites with biological activities for pharmaceutical and agro-food industries. The main objectives of the present work were: (1) to characterize the gel, liquid fraction and bagasse of A. vera; (2) to obtain extracts from bagasse ...
