Highly integrated adaptive mechanisms in Spiribacter halalkaliphilus, a bacterium abundant in Chinese soda‐saline lakes

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 6463-6482, November 2021., 2021
Summary Soda‐saline lakes are polyextreme environments inhabited by many haloalkaliphiles, including one of the most abundant Spiribacter species. However, its mechanisms of adaptation are not ecophysiologically characterized. Based on a large‐scale cultivation strategy, we obtained a representative isolate of this Spiribacter species whose relative ...

Elevated c‐di‐GMP levels promote biofilm formation and biodesulfurization capacity of Rhodococcus erythropolis

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 923-937, May 2021., 2021
In this work, we addressed the major hurdle of developing novel Rhodococcus erythropolis biocatalysts with improved biodesulfurization ability. To do so, we promoted Rhodococcus capability of forming a biofilm through the heterologous expression of a diguanylate cyclase that led to the synthesis of the biofilm trigger molecule cyclic‐di‐GMP (c‐di‐GMP).

Biodesulfurization Processes for the Removal of Sulfur from Diesel Oil: A Perspective Report

Energies, 2023
The presence of elevated levels of sulfur in diesel oil results in an increased sulfur content in the process stream, which poses significant risks to human health, animals, the environment, vehicles, and infrastructure.

Streamlining the biodesulfurization process: development of an integrated continuous system prototype using Gordonia alkanivorans strain 1B. [PDF]

RSC Adv
: Biodesulfurization is a biotechnological process that uses microorganisms as biocatalysts to actively remove sulfur from fuels. It has the potential to be cleaner and more efficient than the current industrial process, however several bottlenecks have ...

Visualizing the invisible: class excursions to ignite children’s enthusiasm for microbes

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 844-887, July 2020., 2020
The ubiquity of microbes, their manifold activities and pervasive influence on the health of all life, local environments and the planet, necessitate an understanding of relevant microbial processes for informed, evidence‐based decision‐making at all levels of society – i.e. Microbiology Literacy.
