Researchers from the laboratory of Dr. Juliana Vianna, deputy director of the Millennium Institute CRG and researcher at the Millennium Institute BASE and Millennium Nucleus Lili, together with Dr. Fabiola León, a BASE-affiliated researcher and
Revealing marine giant viruses’ diversity and cold adaptations, with implications for responses to climate change
In the Southern Hemisphere’s cold oceans, where water temperatures can fall below 10°C, organisms have developed unique survival abilities. Among them are giant viruses: a diverse group of large viruses that infect eukaryotic organisms and,
Variovorax sp.: promoting bacterial–plant interactions
An innovative study recently published in Scientific Reports opens new possibilities for agriculture in its fight against salt stress. The article, “Variovorax sp. strain P1R9 applied individually or as part of bacterial consortia enhances wheat

Discover the Secrets of Avocado: Transformations and Quality
Have you ever wondered why avocados are so delicious when they are ripe? The ripening process of avocado involves complex physicochemical transformations that result in the desirable characteristics for consumption. But did you know that this process affects different metabolites differently, and that it depends on the type of avocado?

Discover the Hidden World of the Marine "Mobilome"
Imagine an ocean full of tiny microorganisms working together to survive. Within these microorganisms exist fascinating entities called Mobile Genetic Elements (MGEs), which act like small couriers exchanging messages that can lead to adaptation in these microorganisms. This collection of MGEs is known as the “mobilome.”
