Molecular Adaptations of Thermophilic Proteins—From Mechanistic Understanding to Machine Learning Approaches

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
Several factors including hydrophobic packing, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding influence thermostability of proteins. Mechanisms of thermal adaptation were investigated via structural and mutational studies. Stability predictions were enhanced by combining thermodynamic data with ML‐based computer models for protein engineering ...

Global Distribution and Future Projections of Functional Groups Within Extremotolerant Soil Fungi

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Ecological lifestyles determine the global distribution and future redistribution of extremotolerant soil fungi. ABSTRACT Black fungi are often described as ubiquitous specialists of harsh environments (extremotolerant), yet how their ecological lifestyles vary across environmental gradients remains poorly understood. Here, we use a global soil dataset

‘All About’ Extremophiles

Faculty Reviews, 2023
Despite common perception, most of Earth is what is often referred to as an 'extreme environment.' Yet to the organisms that call these places home, it is simply that (home). They have adapted to thrive in these environments and, in the process, have evolved many unique adaptations at the molecular- and 'omic-level.

Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 757-768, July 2026.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...

Sodium exclusion as a key trait for maize adaptation to salinity: Relationship with photosynthetic efficiency and membrane integrity

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca
Maize is widely used for human consumption but its cultivation is hampered by salinity. Photosynthetic activity and hence, growth are adversely affected by salt stress due to salt accumulation in the plant tissues.

Maximum Lifetime of the Vegetative Biosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract We use a three‐dimensional model to calculate steady‐state climates at various intervals in Earth's future, across a parameter space of increasing insolation and decreasing CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ mixing ratio. Comparison with prior results shows an overestimation of warming by one‐dimensional models when solar constant is increased and CO2 ...

The Polymers of Life: Exploring Cellular Function Through Polymer Concepts

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 33, 15 June 2026.
Biomolecular phase separation reveals that a hidden layer of cellular organization is governed by the principles of polymer science. This review bridges polymer physics and cell biology, offering a primer on fundamental concepts, proposing a framework for interrogating cellular function, and synthesizing biophysical methods for decoding macromolecular ...

Bacterial sigma factors as targets for engineered or synthetic transcriptional control

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2014
Sigma (σ) factors are the predominant constituents of transcription regulation in bacteria. σ factors recruit the core RNA polymerase (RNAP) to recognize promoters with specific DNA sequences. Recently engineering of transcriptional regulators has become

Halotolerant extremophile bacteria from the Great Salt Lake for recycling pollutants in microbial fuel cells [PDF]

, 2017
The treatment of hypersaline wastewater (approximately 5% of the wastewater worldwide) cannot be performed by classical biological techniques. Herein the halotolerant extremophile bacteria obtained from the Great Salt Lake (Utah) were explored in single ...
