New discoveries in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Researchers at UAB in collaboration with the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, have discovered the structure of the PPC descarboxilase (PPCDC) enzyme present in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a very important organism in biotechnology and an excellent...
Elemental factors and ecology
The identification of general connections between the chemical composition of organisms and the laws of ecosystem function and structure is an increasingly present objective in the current agenda of ecology. For this reason we consider the ratio among the main elements (carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus)...
Climate change and drought: a threat for Mediterranean ecosystem
In previous experiments it’s been observed that drought decreases soil enzyme phosphatases activities in spring and summer in a natural Quercus ilex Mediterranean forest. Now, the aim is to investigate what is the cause of the phosphatase activity...
FNR Protein: a step forward in antimicrobial research
At the laboratory of Bacterial Molecular Genetics, from the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine of the UAB, researchers have studied which existing mechanisms of genetic regulation allow some bacteria to retain the ability to develop under...
