      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, ...
    • Hot Spring Metagenomics 

      López-López, Olalla; Cerdán, María Esperanza; González-Siso, María-Isabel (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2013)
      Hot springs have been investigated since the XIX century, but isolation and examination of their thermophilic microbial inhabitants did not start until the 1950s. Many thermophilic microorganisms and their viruses have ...
    • 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 ...
