Extremophiles in Antarctica [PDF]
Italian Journal of Zoology, 2000 Abstract Isolation and classification of extremophiles and cyanobacteria are described. Seven thermophiles, belonging to Bacillus genus, five acidothermophiles, classified as Alicyclobacillus, and five halotolerant cocci, belonging to Micrococcus genus, were isolated from Antarctic samples of geothermal and saline soils.

Extremophilic Microorganisms in Central Europe [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Extremophiles inhabit a wide variety of environments. Here we focus on extremophiles in moderate climates in central Europe, and particularly in Slovenia. Although multiple types of stress often occur in the same habitat, extremophiles are generally combined into groups according to the main stressor to which they are adapted.

Extremophile Poeciliidae:multivariate insights into the complexity of speciation along replicated ecological gradients [PDF]
, 2016 BackgroundReplicate population pairs that diverge in response to similar selective regimes allow for an investigation of (a) whether phenotypic traits diverge in a similar and predictable fashion, (b) whether there is gradual variation in phenotypic ...

Evaluation of salinity tolerance indices in North African barley accessions at reproductive stage
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2019 Soil salinity is one of the main factors limiting cereal productivity in worldwide agriculture. Exploitation of natural variation in local barley germplasm is an effective approach to overcome yield losses.

Genomic and proteomic evidences unravel the UV-resistome of the poly-extremophile Acinetobacter sp. Ver3 [PDF]
, 2015 Ultraviolet radiation can damage biomolecules, with detrimental or even lethal effects for life. Even though lower wavelengths are filtered by the ozone layer, a significant amount of harmful UV-B and UV-A radiation reach Earth?s surface, particularly in
