Climate change will damage a scale difficult to measure. Its magnitude and peculiarity may lead us to reconsider how we understand some fundamental legal and moral concepts. In this paper the concept of legal responsibility is analyzed, trying to determine what would be the changes that should operate in their traditional use to deal with situations that can lead to global climate change in the coming decades. To do this we will make a general reflection on the limits and foundations of legal responsibility, analyzing the subjective or personal responsibility, and establishing the conditions that could accept collective legal liability for damages that could generate climate change. Finally we reflect on the feasibility of considering as the main contributor to climate change the capitalist mode of production and political alternatives that are available to mitigate their effects.

We analyzed the accumulation of population polymorphism in 2504 individuals - nuclear genomes (nDNA) of 26 populations (81 genes associated to extreme environments) and 3295 mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of 47 populations with the aim to found mitonuclear relationship associated an extremes environment as altitude. For that, we use an algorithm developed by us to determine the accumulation of polymorphisms by segments in the genome and thus be able to perform the multivariate analysis to found SNPs differences and similarities among populations. The results showed in Peruvian population a statistically significant mitonuclear relationship for 113/293970 nDNA SNPs in 16/81 genes. In the case of the mtDNA, we found a statistically significant mitonuclear relationship for 6/22 mtDNA positions – Gene. Additionally for the Peruvian population, the MRPP3 had the greatest polymorphism contrib...

Here, we report the annotated genome sequences of two Shewanella sp. strains isolated from textile industry wastewater effluent in Peru. Potential genes for encoding enzymes that enable the strain to decolorize and degrade textile azo dyes were detected in both genomes. © 2019 Fuentes et al.

Halomonas sp. strain SH5A2 is a halotolerant bacterium isolated from Salinas Lake at 4,300 m above sea level in Peru. Here, we report its complete genome sequence with a length of 3,849,224bp and highlight the presence of genes putatively related to dye degradation, such as NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases. © 2021 Manya et al.

Fungi are a highly diverse group of heterotrophic organisms that play an important role in diverse ecological interactions, many of which are chemically mediated. Fungi have a very versatile metabolism, which allows them to synthesize a large number of still little-known chemical compounds, such as soluble compounds that are secreted into the medium and volatile compounds that are chemical mediators over short and long distances. Mass spectrometry (MS) is currently playing a dominant role in mycological studies, mainly due to its inherent sensitivity and rapid identification capabilities of different metabolites. Furthermore, MS has also been used as a reliable and accurate tool for fungi identification (i.e., biotyping). Here, we introduce the readers about fungal specialized metabolites, their role in ecological interactions and provide an overview on the MS-based techniques used in fu...
