Thermophilic Microorganisms in Biofilms from Greenhouse-Enclosed drip Irrigation Systems
Drip irrigation optimises water reuse and makes irrigation more efficient, but the system often presents problems of obstruction caused mainly by the accumulation of material of biological origin, which often begins...
Exotic Plant Frees itself from Hervibores after Colonizing Novel Habitats in Catalonia
An exotic species becomes an invasive one when it forms stable populations that expand on the new territory. One hypothesis attempting to explain this process predicts that exotic plants lose the herbivores associated...
Importance of Familiarity on Social Learning of Feeding Behaviour in Pigs
A study to assess social learning in piglets for accepting new foods shows that these animals can change their feeding behaviour by this mechanism, but also highlights the importance of familiarity among piglets. The transfer of...
Identification of a Molecule which Would Facilitate the Action of the Antifungal Drugs
Due to the similarity of certain proteins from pathogenic fungi and human proteins, current antifungals are usually directed to characteristics that are present in the pathogen but absent in humans. A study has...
One Protein, Three Functions
Almost three decades ago,the discovery of proteins that could perform two different functions was a breaking point in the perception of classical molecular biology, changelling the concept of "one protein, one function". Recently, an international team lead by researchers from the UAB found a...
