Copper is an essential and toxic trace metal for bacteria and, therefore, must be tightly regulated in the cell. Enterococcus hirae is a broadly studied model for copper homeostasis. The intracellular copper levels in E. hirae are regulated by the cop operon, which is formed by four genes: copA and copB that encode ATPases for influx and efflux of copper, respectively; copZ that encodes a copper chaperone; and copY, a copper responsive repressor. Since the complete genome sequence for E. hirae is not available, it is possible that other genes may encode proteins involved in copper homeostasis. Here, we identified a cop-like operon in nine species of Lactobacillale order with a known genome sequence. All of them always encoded a CopY-like repressor and a... |

Los peces muestran una amplia diversidad de comportamientos alimentarios, algunas veces asociados con morfologías específicas, las cuales pueden reflejar adaptaciones para usar los recursos dependiendo de su hábitat. En los sistemas acuáticos aislados, los peces son un buen modelo de estudio para entender las relaciones tróficas. Este estudió evaluó la dieta de cinco especies de Orestias, las cuales habitan ocho sitios diferentes en la Región de Arica y Parinacota, Parque Nacional Lauca. Se analizaron 177 estómagos pertenecientes a las especies Orestias chungarensis, O. laucaensis, O. parinacotensis, O. piacotensis y Orestias cf agassii. Para los análisis se utilizaron descriptores cuantitativos de número de items presa y frecuencia de ocurrencia. Se... |

Most Chilean amphibians belong to the subfamily Telmatobiinae (Anura, Leptodactylidae). Several phylogenetic studies of Leptodactylidae and Telmatobiinae, based principally on morphological characters, have implicitly suggested closer relationships of some species of the Telmatobiinae with members of other subfamilies of leptodactylids, including the leptodactyline genus Pleurodema which is present in Chile. Furthermore, a growing number of molecular studies suggest a non monophyletic status for Telmatobiinae, although none of these studies have investigated the phylogenetic relationships of this subfamily. We compared partial sequences of the ribosomal mitochondrial genes 12S and 16S to determine the phylogenetic relationships of Chilean leptodactylids... |
