A temperate river estuary is a sink for methanotrophs adapted to extremes of pH, temperature and salinity [PDF]
River Tyne (UK) estuarine sediments harbour a genetically and functionally diverse community of methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs), the composition and activity of which were directly influenced by imposed environmental conditions (pH, salinity ...

Ammonia-oxidising archaea living at low pH: Insights from comparative genomics [PDF]
Obligate acidophilic members of the thaumarchaeotal genus Candidatus Nitrosotalea play an important role in nitrification in acidic soils, but their evolutionary and physiological adaptations to acidic environments are still poorly understood, with only ...

Novel Microorganisms Contribute to Biosulfidogenesis in the Deep Layer of an Acidic Pit Lake
Cueva de la Mora is a permanently stratified acidic pit lake with extremely high concentrations of heavy metals at depth. In order to evaluate the potential for in situ sulfide production, we characterized the microbial community in the deep layer using ...

Acidophil bodies in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [PDF]
The significance of the quantity of acidophil bodies (AB) in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is not certain. We quantified AB in liver biopsies and examined the association with the diagnosis of NASH and other histologic features. We reviewed 157 liver biopsies from the NASH Clinical Research Network Database collected in 2006.

Eukaryotic diversity at pH extremes
Extremely acidic (pH<3) and extremely alkaline (pH>9) environments support a diversity of single-cell and to a lesser extent, multicellular eukaryotic life.

Multi-omics Reveals the Lifestyle of the Acidophilic, Mineral-Oxidizing Model Species Leptospirillum ferriphilumT. [PDF]
Leptospirillum ferriphilum plays a major role in acidic, metal-rich environments, where it represents one of the most prevalent iron oxidizers. These milieus include acid rock and mine drainage as well as biomining operations.

Despite several discoveries in recent years, the physiology of acidophilic Micrarchaeota, such as “Candidatus Micrarchaeum harzensis A_DKE”, remains largely enigmatic, as they highly express numerous genes encoding hypothetical proteins. Due to a lacking
