Subzero cell division, respiration, and genomic traits of cryophilic Arthrobacter agilis Ant-EH-1 isolated from cold-arid Antarctic mineral soils

Frontiers in Microbiology
Arthrobacter are commonly isolated from cold soil environments globally, including those that regularly reach sub-freezing temperatures, suggesting that Arthrobacter have significant potential for growth and activity under temperature and stress extremes.

Metagenomics of Atacama Lithobiontic Extremophile Life Unveils Highlights on Fungal Communities, Biogeochemical Cycles and Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes

Microorganisms, 2019
Halites, which are typically found in various Atacama locations, are evaporitic rocks that are considered as micro-scaled salterns. Both structural and functional metagenomic analyses of halite nodules were performed.

Antiproliferative activity of carotenoid pigments produced by extremophile bacteria

Natural Product Research, 2019
Various microorganisms are able to synthesize pigments, which usually present antioxidant properties. The aim of this work was to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of bacterial pigments against cancer cells Neuro-2a, Saos-2 and MCF-7. Pigments were

Microbial community differentiation in vent chimneys of the Lost City Hydrothermal Field reflects habitat heterogeneity

Frontiers in Microbiomes
Oceanic hydrothermal vent systems represent some of the oldest habitats on Earth and serve as analogs for extraterrestrial environments. The Lost City Hydrothermal Field (LCHF) near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one such environment, and its large chimneys ...
