Prevalence of potentially thermophilic microorganisms in biofilms from greenhouse-enclosed drip irrigation systems [PDF]
Drip irrigation systems using reclaimed water often present clogging events of biological origin. Microbial communities in biofilms from microirrigation systems of an experimental greenhouse in Almería, SE Spain, which used two different qualities of ...

Characteristics of Wetting-Induced Bacteriophage Blooms in Biological Soil Crust. [PDF]
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are photosynthetic "hot spots" in deserts and cover ∼12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, and yet they face an uncertain future given expected shifts in rainfall events.

Diversity and evolutionary dynamics of spore-coat proteins in spore-forming species of Bacillales
Among members of the Bacillales order, there are several species capable of forming a structure called an endospore. Endospores enable bacteria to survive under unfavourable growth conditions and germinate when environmental conditions are favourable again.

Molecular mechanisms of adaptation of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halobacillis halophilus to its environment [PDF]
The capability of osmoadaptation is a prerequisite of organisms that live in an environment with changing salinities. Halobacillus halophilus is a moderately halophilic bacterium that grows between 0.4 and 3 M NaCl by accumulating both chloride and ...

A regulatory RNA required for antitermination of biofilm and capsular polysaccharide operons in Bacillales [PDF]
Formation of a Bacillus subtilis biofilm community requires an abundant matrix protein, TasA and an exopolysaccharide. The transcriptional regulatory pathways that control synthesis of these structural features are complex and responsive to multiple physiological and population signals.

Genome mining: Prediction of lipopeptides and polyketides from Bacillus and related Firmicutes
Bacillus and related genera in the Bacillales within the Firmicutes harbor a variety of secondary metabolite gene clusters encoding polyketide synthases and non-ribosomal peptide synthetases responsible for remarkable diverse number of polyketides (PKs ...

Potential of tellurite resistance in heterotrophic bacteria from mining environments
Summary: Untreated mining wastes and improper disposal of high-tech devices generate an environmental increase of bioavailable metalloids, exerting stress on autochthonous microbial populations.
