Draft genome sequence of rhamnolipid-producing bacteria strain CM-CNRG TB177 isolated from an oil reservoir in Mexico.

The draft genome of CM-CNRG TB177 isolated from an oil reservoir in Mexico was determined and annotated. The organism is a thermophilic and strict anaerobe bacterium that produces rhamnolipids, using glucose as a carbon source. The predicted genome size is 2,496,169 bp and 2,550 genes.

Production of rhamnolipids by the Thermoanaerobacter sp. CM-CNRG TB177 strain isolated from an oil well in Mexico.

This study aimed to produce and characterize biosurfactants using the Thermoanaerobacter sp. CM-CNRG TB177 strain isolated from an oil field in Mexico, as well as assessing the influence of different carbon and nitrogen sources on the capacity of the produced surfactant to reduce the surface tension of water. The thin-layer chromatography (TLC) revealed that the obtained extract corresponds to a mono-rhamnolipid; the results of the ultra-performance-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS) analysis revealed that the Thermoanaerobacter sp.

Differential pattern of infection of sylvatic nymphs and domiciliary adults of Triatoma infestans with Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes in Chile.

In Chile, the main vector of Chagas disease, Triatoma infestans, is under control after insecticide spraying. However, it has been found colonizing wild habitats. This study evaluated Trypanosoma cruzi infection of sylvatic and domiciliary T.

Sylvatic foci of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans in Chile: description of a new focus and challenges for control programs.

Triatoma infestans is one of the main domestic vectors of Chagas disease. Reports of wild habitat occurrences have recently increased. In Chile, after a successful elimination campaign of T.
