En el ... -
Biochemical and structural characterization of a novel thermophilic esterase EstD11 provide catalytic insights for the HSL family
Miguel-Ruano, Vega; Rivera, Ivanna; Rajkovic, Jelena; Kamila, Knapik; Torrado Agrasar, Ana; Otero, J. M.; Beneventi, Elisa; Becerra, Manuel; Sánchez-Costa, Mercedes; Hidalgo, Aurelio; Berenguer, José; González-Siso, María-Isabel; Cruces, Jacobo; Rúa Rodríguez, María Luisa; Hermoso, Juan (Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Research Network of Computational and Structural Biotechnology, 2021)[Abstract]: A novel esterase, EstD11, has been discovered in a hot spring metagenomic library. It is a thermophilic and thermostable esterase with an optimum temperature of 60 C. A detailed substrate preference analysis ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -

Servizo de publicacións., 2018)[Resumen] Se han elaborado una serie de contenidos para adaptar una materia de máster a la modalidad de docencia a distancia utilizando como plataforma de teleenseñanza Moodle. La materia se estructuró en unidades ... -
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 ... -
Microbial diversity analysis and screening for novel xylanase enzymes from the sediment of the Lobios Hot Spring in Spain
Knapik, Kamila; Becerra, Manuel; González-Siso, María-Isabel (Springer Nature, 2019-08-01)[Abstract] Here, we describe the metagenome composition of a microbial community in a hot spring sediment as well as a sequence-based and function-based screening of the metagenome for identification of novel xylanases. ... -

Optimization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-galactosidase production and application in the degradation of raffinose family oligosaccharides
Álvarez Cao, María E.; Cerdán, María Esperanza; González-Siso, María-Isabel; Becerra, Manuel (BMC, 2019-10-10)[Abstract] Background: α-Galactosidases are enzymes that act on galactosides present in many vegetables, mainly legumes and cereals, have growing importance with respect to our diet. For this reason, the use of their ... -
Secreción de la β-Galactosidasa "kluyveromyces lactis"
Becerra, Manuel (1999)[Resumen] La hidrólisis enzimática de la lactosa constituye la base de los procesos biotecnológicos más prometedores que están siendo desarrollados actualmente para aprovechar el azúcar del suero de leche. La mayor ... -
The HMGB Protein KlIxr1, a DNA Binding Regulator of Kluyveromyces lactis Gene Expression Involved in Oxidative Metabolism, Growth, and dNTP Synthesis
Rico Díaz, Agustín; Barreiro-Alonso, Aida; Rey-Souto, Cora; Becerra, Manuel; Lamas, Mónica; Cerdán, María Esperanza; Vizoso-Vázquez, Ángel (MDPI, 2021-08-21)[Abstract] In the traditional fermentative model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ScIxr1 is an HMGB (High Mobility Group box B) protein that has been considered as an important regulator of gene transcription in response ... -
Utilización de screencasts para un aprendizaje activo
González-Siso, María-Isabel; Becerra, Manuel (Universidade da Coruña, Cufie, 2019)[Resumen] La presente innovación consistió en la elaboración por los estudiantes de screencasts, es decir, vídeos cortos en los que se graba parte o la totalidad de la pantalla del ordenador, acompañados por audios con ... -
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 ...
