Bioprospecting for Novel Thermozymes in Metagenomic Libraries from Hot Springs
Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José (2021)[Abstract] Hot spring metagenomes are described as the DNA of whole microbial communities inhabiting high temperature inland water habitats. The focus of the present work was to search for thermozymes (that maintain their ... -
Bioprospecting for Thermozymes and Characterization of a Novel Lipolytic Thermozyme Belonging to the SGNH/GDSL Family of Hydrolases
Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José; De Castro de Antonio, María Eugenia; Saavedra-Bouza, Almudena; González-Siso, María-Isabel; Becerra, Manuel (MDPI, 2022-05-20)[Abstract] Functional screenings were conducted on two metagenomic libraries from hot springs in order to find novel thermozymes with potential biotechnological applications. These included enzymes acting on plant cell ... -
Caracterización bioquímica de la enzima a-Galactosidasa de Saccharomyces cerevisiae y de su mutante R412L
Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José (2013) -
Cellulases from thermophiles found by metagenomics
Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José; De Castro de Antonio, María Eugenia; Cerdán, María Esperanza; Rodríguez-Belmonte, Esther; Becerra, Manuel; González-Siso, María-Isabel (MDPI, 2018-07-10)[Abstract] Cellulases are a heterogeneous group of enzymes that synergistically catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose, the major component of plant biomass. Such reaction has biotechnological applications in a broad spectrum ... -
Comparative Metagenomic Analysis of Two Hot Springs From Ourense (Northwestern Spain) and Others Worldwide
De Castro de Antonio, María Eugenia; Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José; Becerra, Manuel; Rodríguez-Belmonte, Esther; González-Siso, María-Isabel (Frontiers, 2021-11-26)[Abstract] With their circumneutral pH and their moderate temperature (66 and 68°C, respectively), As Burgas and Muiño da Veiga are two important human-use hot springs, previously studied with traditional culture methods, ... -
Insights on Microbial Communities Inhabiting Non-Volcanic Hot Springs
Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José; De Castro de Antonio, María Eugenia; Saavedra-Bouza, Almudena; Becerra, Manuel; González-Siso, María-Isabel (MDPI, 2022-10-13)[Abstract] The northwest of Spain has an abundance of non-volcanic hot springs that, until recently, had only been used for thermalism activities. One of such hot springs, Muiño da Veiga, has now been explored using ... -
Production and characterization of an extracellular acid protease from thermophilic Brevibacillus sp. OA30 isolated from an Algerian hot spring
Gomri, Mohamed Amine; Rico Díaz, Agustín; Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José; El Moulouk Khaldi, Tedj; González-Siso, María-Isabel; Kharroub, Karima (MDPI, 2018-04-12)[Abstract] Proteases have numerous biotechnological applications and the bioprospection for newly-thermostable proteases from the great biodiversity of thermophilic microorganisms inhabiting hot environments, such as ... -
Protein Degradation by E3 Ubiquitin Ligases in Cancer Stem Cells [Review]
Quiroga Fernández, Macarena; Rodríguez-Alonso, Andrea; Alfonsín Rey, María Gloria; Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José; Breijo, Sara M.; Chantada, Venancio; Figueroa, Angélica (MDPI, 2022-02-16)[Abstract] Cancer stem cells are a small subpopulation within the tumor with high capacity for self-renewal, differentiation and reconstitution of tumor heterogeneity. Cancer stem cells are major contributors of tumor ... -
Test for the Production and Assay of the Proteolytic Activities of Halophilic Bacteria and Archaea Isolated from Algerian Hypersaline Environments
Benmebarek, Hania; Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José; González-Siso, María-Isabel; Kharroub, Karima (MDPI, 2020-12-24)[Abstract] The present work was carried out on 133 halophilic strains isolated on MGM (Modified Growth Medium) medium with 12 and 23% (w/v) of salt. A screening of the extracellular proteolytic activities, carried out on ... -
Xylanases From Thermophilic Archaea: A Hidden Treasure
Saavedra-Bouza, Almudena; Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José; De Castro de Antonio, María Eugenia; Becerra, Manuel; González-Siso, María-Isabel (Elsevier, 2022-12-12)[Abstract] Archaea are a domain of prokaryotic organisms that often inhabit extremophilic environments. Their enzymes are therefore of enormous biotechnological interest, due to their stability and activity in harsh ...
