    Abstract The phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) of Gram-negative bacteria are analogous to defective prophages that have lost the ability to propagate without the aid of a helper phage. PICIs have acquired genes that alter the genetic repertoire of the bacterial host, including supplying virulence factors. Recent work by the Penadés laboratory elucidates how a helper phage infection or prophage induction induces the island to excise from the bacterial chromosome, replicate, and become packaged into functional virions. PICIs lack a complete set of morphogenetic genes needed to construct mature virus particles. Rather, PICIs hijack virion assembly functions from an induced prophage acting as a helper phage. The hijacking strategy includes preventing the helper phage from packaging its own DNA while enabling PICI DNA packaging. In the case of recently described Gram-negative PICIs, the PICI changes the specificity of DNA packaging. This is achieved by an island-encoded protein (Rpp) that binds to the phage protein (TerS), which normally selects phage DNA for packaging from a DNA pool that includes the helper phage and host DNAs. The Rpp-TerS interaction prevents phage DNA packaging while sponsoring PICI DNA packaging. Our communication reviews published data about the hijacking mechanism and its implications for phage DNA packaging. We propose that the Rpp-TerS complex binds to a site in the island DNA that is positioned analogous to that of the phage DNA but has a completely different sequence. The critical role of TerS in the Rpp-TerS complex is to escort TerL to the PICI

    Abstract A perspective is taken on the intangible complexity of economic and social systems by investigating the underlying dynamical processes that produce, store and transmit information in financial time series in terms of the \textit{moving average cluster entropy}. An extensive analysis has evidenced market and horizon dependence of the \textit{moving average cluster entropy} in real world financial assets. The origin of the behavior is scrutinized by applying the \textit{moving average cluster entropy} approach to long-range correlated stochastic processes as the Autoregressive Fractionally Integrated Moving Average (ARFIMA) and Fractional Brownian motion (FBM). To that end, an extensive set of series is generated with a broad range of values of the Hurst exponent $H$ and of the autoregressive, differencing and moving average parameters $p,d,q$. A systematic relation between \textit{moving average cluster entropy}, \textit{Market Dynamic Index} and long-range correlation parameters $H$, $d$ is observed. This study shows that the characteristic behaviour exhibited by the horizon dependence of the cluster entropy is related to long-range positive correlation in financial markets. Specifically, long range positively correlated ARFIMA processes with differencing parameter $ d\simeq 0.05$, $d\simeq 0.15$ and $ d\simeq 0.25$ are consistent with \textit{moving average cluster entropy} results obtained in time series of DJIA, S\&P500 and NASDAQ.

    Abstract Oily bilge wastewater is one of the main sources of hydrocarbons pollution in marine environments due to accidental or clandestine discharges. The main technical challenge for its effective treatment is the presence of stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. In this work we are reporting an enriched microbial consortium from bilge wastewater with remarkable ability to demulsify oil in water emulsions. The consortium showed emulsion-breaking ratios up to 72.6% in the exponential growth phase, while the values range from 11.9 to 8.5% in stationary phase. A positive association was observed between demulsifying ability and microbial adhesion to hydrocarbons, as well as between cell concentration and demulsifying ability. Also, an interesting ability to demulsify under different temperatures, conditions of agitation, and bilge emulsions from different vessels was observed. The Bacterial and Archaeal composition was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon lllumina sequencing analyses, revealing an assemblage composed of bacterial types highly related to well characterized bacterial isolates and also to non-yet cultured bacterial types previously detected in marine and sediment samples. Hydrocarbonoclastic microbial types such as Marinobacter, Flavobacteriaceae, Alcanivorax and Gammaproteobacteria PYR10d3 were found in high relative abundance (27.0%-11.1%) and types of marine oligotrophs and surfactant degraders such as Thallasospira, Parvibaculum, Novospirillum, Shewanella algae, and Opitutae were in a group of middle predominance (1.7-3.5%). The microbial consortium reported has promising potential for the biological demulsification of bilge wastewater and other oily wastewaters.

    Abstract Salted and ripened fish foods are susceptible to cause histamine poisoning. The present study focuses on microbial histamine degradation from high salted fermented fishery products to deepen our understanding about this new and growing field of research. As a result of this first study related to salted-ripened anchovies (Engraulis anchoita), fifty seven moderate and extreme halophilic microbial isolates from salt and salted-ripened anchovy processes were characterized in terms of their phenotype and histamine-degrading capacity. Only 7%-4 isolates-were able to degrade histamine. None of the histamine-degrading isolates presented proteolytic and/or lipolytic activity. One of them designated A18 was chemotactic toward histamine, an interesting property not previously reported for that chemoattractant. However, the S18 and A18 isolates, genotypically identified as Halobacterium sp. and Halomonas sp. respectively, produced indole and/or H

    Abstract Oily bilge wastewater (OBW) is a hazardous hydrocarbon-waste generated by ships worldwide. In this research, we enriched, characterized and study the hydrocarbon biodegradation potential of a microbial consortium from the bilges of maritime ships. The consortium cZ presented a biodegradation efficiency of 66.65% for total petroleum hydrocarbons, 72.33% for aromatics and 97.76% removal of n-alkanes. This consortium showed the ability to grow in OBWs of diverse origin and concentration. A 67-fold increase in biomass was achieved using a Sequential Batch Reactor with OBW as the only carbon and energy source. The bacterial community composition of the enriched OBW bacterial consortium at the final stable stage was characterized by 16S amplicon Illumina sequencing showing that 25 out of 915 of the emerged predominant bacterial types detected summed up for 84% of total composition. Out of the 140 taxa detected, 13 alone accumulated 94.9% of the reads and were classified as Marinobacter, Alcanivorax, Parvibaculum, Flavobacteriaceae, Gammaproteobacteria PYR10d3, Novispirillum and Xanthomonadaceae among the most predominant, followed by Thalassospira, Shewanella, Rhodospirillaceae, Gammaprotobacteria, Rhodobacteriaceae and Achromobacter. The microbial community from OBW bioreactor enrichments is intrinsically diverse with clear selection of predominant types and remarkably exhibiting consistent and efficient biodegradation achieved without any nutrient or surfactant addition. Due to there is very little information available in the OBW biodegradation field, this work contributes to the body of knowledge surrounding the treatment improvement of this toxic waste and its potential application in wastewater management.

    Abstract Este estudo aborda um assunto recorrente em países emergentes, mas pouco discutido na academia: estratégia de não-mercado (ENM). Tem o objetivo de identificar as questões teóricas centrais presentes no debate dos estudos sobre ENM. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática do tipo integrativa, com a seleção de onze publicações (teses e dissertações) que constituem o portfólio estudado. Os estudos são classificados em quatro categorias centrais: desempenho, tomada de decisão, contexto e ambiente regulado. Pode-se concluir que estratégias de não-mercado têm se mostrado eficaz para a obtenção dos resultados pelas empresas. Emergem daí aspectos operacionais específicos, tais como lobby , influência empresarial no ambiente político, estrutura de propriedade acionária, o desejo empresarial de autorregulação e financiamentos de campanhas políticas. Tais descobertas desafiam o senso comum sobre o comportamento político nas empresas. Além disso, minimizam a tensão sadia entre as esferas em que se estrutura a sociedade, tangencia a legalidade e a ilegalidade.

    Abstract The study of the aromatic compounds' degrading ability by halophilic bacteria became an interesting research topic, because of the increasing use of halophiles in bioremediation of saline habitats and effluents. In this work, we focused on the study of aromatic compounds' degradation potential of Halomonas sp. KHS3, a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated seawater of the Mar del Plata harbour. We demonstrated that H. sp. KHS3 is able to grow using different monoaromatic (salicylic acid, benzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, phthalate) and polyaromatic (naphthalene, fluorene, and phenanthrene) substrates. The ability to degrade benzoic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid was analytically corroborated, and Monod kinetic parameters and yield coefficients for degradation were estimated. Strategies that may enhance substrate bioavailability such as surfactant production and chemotactic responses toward aromatic compounds were confirmed. Genomic sequence analysis of this strain allowed us to identify several genes putatively related to the metabolism of aromatic compounds, being the catechol and protocatechuate branches of β-ketoadipate pathway completely represented. These features suggest that the broad-spectrum xenobiotic degrader H. sp. KHS3 could be employed as a useful biotechnological tool for the cleanup of aromatic compounds-polluted saline habitats or effluents.
