Harnessing Glutamicibacter sp. to Enhance Salinity Tolerance in the Obligate Halophyte Suaeda fruticosa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Plant Biology
Salinization hinders the restoration of vegetation in salt-affected soils by negatively impacting plant growth and development. Halophytes play a key role in the restoration of saline and degraded lands due to unique features explaining their growth ...

Extremophiles and Extremophilic Behaviour—New Insights and Perspectives

open access: yesLife
Extremophiles, throughout evolutionary time, have evolved a plethora of unique strategies to overcome hardships associated with the environments they are found in. Modifying their genome, showing a bias towards certain amino acids, redesigning their proteins, and enhancing their membranes and other organelles with specialised chemical compounds are ...

The Mystery of Piezophiles: Understudied Microorganisms from the Deep, Dark Subsurface

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Microorganisms that can withstand high pressure within an environment are termed piezophiles. These organisms are considered extremophiles and inhabit the deep marine or terrestrial subsurface.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

The extremophile Picrophilus torridus carries a DNA adenine methylase M.PtoI that is part of a Type I restriction-modification system

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
DNA methylation events mediated by orphan methyltransferases modulate various cellular processes like replication, repair and transcription. Bacteria and archaea also harbor DNA methyltransferases that are part of restriction-modification systems, which ...

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives
