TL;DR: Comparisons of the esterase patterns in malathion and deltamethrin-sensitive, tolerant and resistant tick groups suggest that these AChEs may represent an important detoxification strategy developed to overcome the effects of acaricides.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that different point mutations, as well as the influence of post-translational modification mechanisms, are altering the activity of the translated proteins and may be associated with resistance.

TL;DR: This study examined the diversity of yeast species isolated from grape skin and musts of two varieties of Vitis labrusca from a vineyard in the southeast region of Brazil, which produces artisanal wines, and showed that molecular identification is a very powerful identification method in which natural isolates of ascomycetous or basidiomycETous yeasts can be rapidly and reliably identified with better reproducibility and higher throughput than conventional phenotypic methods.

TL;DR: The enzymatic treatment of an Aureobasidium pullulans strain isolated from grape ecosystems increased the amount of monoterpenes, showing good prospects for its potential application for the development of aroma in wines.

TL;DR: This is the first report about the yeast distribution present throughout the alcoholic fermentation in a Brazilian winery, providing supportive information for future studies on their contribution to wine quality.
