Bacteria belonging to the phylum are a very good source of antibiotics, and indeed dominate the current clinical antibiotic space. This paper reports Mutactimycin AP, a new compound belonging to an anthracycline-type family of antibiotics, isolated from a This actinobacterial strain was isolated from the rhizosphere of lupine plants growing in the extreme hyper-arid Atacama Desert. Structural characterization was carried out using electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and NMR spectroscopy in combination with molecular modelling. The compound was tested against the ESKAPE pathogens, where it showed activity against MRSA and five strains associated with bovine mastitis, where it showed activity against and .

The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment located in the Atacama Desert in Chile that will make precise temperature and polarization measurements over six spectral bands ranging from 27 to 285 GHz. Three small aperture telescopes (SATs) and one large aperture telescope (LAT) will house 60,000 detectors and cover angular scales between one arcminute and tens of degrees. We present the performance of the dichroic, low-frequency (LF) lenslet-coupled sinuous antenna transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometer arrays with bands centered at 27 and 39 GHz.

Plant Growth-Promoting and Herbicidal Bacteria as Potential Bio-Based Solutions for Agriculture in Desertic Regions.

Plants (Basel)

December 2024

Laboratory of Plant Pathology and Bioproducts, Faculty of Agronomic Sciences, University of Tarapacá, Av. General Velásquez 1775, Arica 1000000, Chile.

The region of Arica and Parinacota hosts unexplored remote sites with unique characteristics suitable for developing novel agricultural bioproducts. Notable locations include Jurasi Hot Springs, Polloquere Hot Springs, and Amuyo Lagoons, featuring open pools fed by thermal mountain springs. These geothermal sites harbor bacteria with plant growth-promoting activities, particularly interesting to the strains J19, TP22, A20, and A3.

Economic Viability of the Production of Peruvian Grunt () in RAS on the Peruvian-Chilean Desert Coast.

Animals (Basel)

December 2024

Escuela de Ingeniería Pesquera, Universidad Nacional Jorge Basadre Grohmann, Tacna 23004, Peru.

The Peruvian grunt is one of the most appreciated fish in Peruvian national markets. However, its reduced and irregular fishery is a paradigm of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU) in the Peruvian-Chilean coastal region. An important technological advancement has been achieved in the last decade in capture, management, nutrition, and broodstock maintenance to boost pilot experiences on the aquaculture of this species.

Global climate change exacerbates abiotic stresses, as drought, heat, and salt stresses are anticipated to increase significantly in the coming years. Plants coexist with a diverse range of microorganisms. Multiple inter-organismic relationships are known to confer benefits to plants, including growth promotion and enhanced tolerance to abiotic stresses.
