The bacterial division es an esential process that is executed by a complex of proteins, called divisome. FtsW and FtsI are membrane proteins part of this machinery, that form a complex. This complex is formed in the late phase of division after the chromosome segregation and FtsQ/FtsB/FtsL compl...

El empleo masivo de derivados del petróleo ha causado eventos de contaminación a nivel mundial, impactando suelos, sedimentos, aguas y sus ecosistemas cercanos. Dentro de los componentes del petróleo, la fracción aromáticos es la más tóxica y recalcitrante de sus componentes. Sedimentos marinos c...

High demand of crude-oil has caused pollution events worldwide, impacting soil, sediments and water matrices, as well as their surrounding environments. Petroleum aromatic hydrocarbons are the most toxic and recalcitrant fraction found in crude-oil. Crude oil-polluted marine sediments are niches ...

The sediment transport driven by a river or a channel flow is a phenomenon that operates at different scales. At the smallest scales, the coherent structures of the turbulent boundary layer are the mechanisms that govern the entrainment. At a greater scale, observed now from a particle ensemble p...

Soil carbon (C) sequestration is a strategy to capture atmospheric CO2 and transfer it into stable soil organic carbon (SOC) forms. There are a numbers of mechanisms of C stabilisation, the processes that made SOC resistant to decomposition. For example: physical and chemical adsorption, physical...

Population connectivity has a fundamental role in metapopulation dynamics and population resilience after disturbances, due to that, it has important implications for the population persistence in space and time. In this regard, island systems as Easter Island (IP) and the island Salas y Gómez (S...

La conectividad poblacional tiene importantes implicancias en la persistencia de las poblaciones en espacio y tiempo debido a su rol fundamental en la dinámica metapoblacional y en la resiliencia poblacional después de perturbaciones. Al respecto, sistemas insulares como la isla de Pascua (IP) y ...
