Degradación de biodiesel y diversidad bacteriana en suelos arenosos de una zona industrial (Guayanilla, Puerto Rico)
(2005)
Biodegradation of biodiesel from an industrial impacted sandy soil (Guayanilla Bay,
Puerto Rico) and bacterial diversity was evaluated. Soil samples were amended with
2,500 mg/Kg of biodiesel and incubated during 41 days ...
Expression, purification and characterization of a human calcium-binding protein: Human centrin 2
(2005)
Human centrin 2 (Hcen 2) is an acidic centrosomal protein of 19,738 Da, that is
comprised of four subdomains, called EF-hands, which represent the calcium-binding
sites. Human centrin 2 gene locus is codified on chromosomes ...
Isolation and Characterization of Antimicrobial Agent Producing Microbes and Generation of Metagenomic Libraries from Diverse Forest Soils in Puerto Rico
(2005)
The misuse of antimicrobial agents is a world wide issue, since many opportunistic
bacteria have acquired resistance or are becoming resistant to commercially available
antibiotics. Antimicrobial resistance is not limited ...
Bacteriófagos específicos para Rhodobacter sphaeroides: aislamiento, caracterización y potenciales transductores
(2005)
Los bacteriófagos son partículas que infectan específicamente bacterias. El desarrollo
lítico o lisogénico de su infección, promueve el flujo de nutrientes, el control de

Eficacia del hongo Pleurotus ostreatus como biorremediador de suelos contaminados con metales pesados
(2005)
Pleurotus ostreatus, a white-rot fungus, has proven to be excellent in the removal
of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and in this project we are investigating it’s
ability to remove the following heavy metals from ...
Biocompatibility studies of human fetal osteoblast cells cultured on gamma titanium alumide
(2005)
There is a continuous search of new implant materials with better biocompatibility and
physiological properties than the current commercially pure Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloys.
Gamma titanium aluminide (γTiAl) appears to have ...
