Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms: Promising Approach as Biofertilizers

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Phosphorus (P) is a macronutrient required for the proper functioning of plants. Because P plays a vital role in every aspect of plant growth and development, deficiencies can reduce plant growth and development. Though soil possesses total P in the form of organic and inorganic compounds, most of them remain inactive and thus unavailable to plants ...

Realm of Thermoalkaline Lipases in Bioprocess Commodities

Journal of Lipids, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
For decades, microbial lipases are notably used as biocatalysts and efficiently catalyze various processes in many important industries. Biocatalysts are less corrosive to industrial equipment and due to their substrate specificity and regioselectivity they produced less harmful waste which promotes environmental sustainability.
