Benjamín Otto Ortega-Morales,José Luis Santiago-García,Manuel Jesús Chan-Bacab,X. Moppert,Elizabeth Miranda-Tello,Marie-Laure Fardeau,Julio César Carrero,Pascual Bartolo-Pérez,Pascual Bartolo-Pérez,A. Valadez-González,Jean Guezennec +10 more
TL;DR: This study was performed to determine the potential of tropical intertidal biofilm bacteria as a source of novel exopolymers (EPS) and to investigate the phytochemical properties of these bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antileishmanial properties of tropical marine algae extracts.
Yolanda Freile-Pelegrín,Daniel Robledo,Manuel Jesús Chan-Bacab,Benjamín Otto Ortega-Morales,Benjamín Otto Ortega-Morales +4 more
TL;DR: Aqueous and organic extracts from fourteen species of marine algae collected from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula were evaluated for their antileishmanial in vitro activity against Leishmania mexicana promastigote forms and the cytotoxicity of these extracts was also assessed using brine shrimp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal Coatings Based on Ca(OH)2 Mixed with ZnO/TiO2 Nanomaterials for Protection of Limestone Monuments
Nikte Gómez-Ortiz,Susana De la Rosa-García,William González-Gómez,M. Soria-Castro,Patricia Quintana,Gerko Oskam,Benjamín Otto Ortega-Morales +6 more
TL;DR: The coated nanosystems based on Ca(OH)2-50%ZnO and pure zincite nanoparticulate films have promising performance on low porosity limestone, showing good antifungal properties against P. oxalicum and A. niger under simulated photoperiod conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilms fouling ancient limestone Mayan monuments in Uxmal, Mexico: a cultivation-independent analysis
Benjamín Otto Ortega-Morales,J. A. Narváez-Zapata,Achim Schmalenberger,A. Sosa-López,Christoph C. Tebbe +4 more
TL;DR: Biofilms colonizing ancient limestone Mayan monuments in Uxmal (Yucatan, Mexico) were characterized for their microbial composition and differences using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified genes of the rRNA small subunit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Salt-Containing Biofilms on Limestone Buildings of the Mayan Culture at Edzna, Mexico
TL;DR: Biofilms on the salted ceiling of a limestone tunnel at the Mayan site of Edzna, Mexico, were characterised using SEM, EDS, chemical analysis, light microscopy, culture and pigment analysis, finding salt crystals, mainly sulfates, were found throughout the stone.
