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

Microorganisms, 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.

‘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.

Benefits of natural biostimulants: Ginger and moringa extracts as seed priming agents to improve salinity tolerance of Ocimum basilicum L.

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca
Using natural biostimulants such as plant extracts is a novel agronomic biofortification strategy to mitigate abiotic stresses such as salinity on crops.

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Single-cell genomics based on Raman sorting reveals novel carotenoid-containing bacteria in the Red Sea [PDF]

, 2016
Cell sorting coupled with single-cell genomics is a powerful tool to circumvent cultivation of microorganisms and reveal microbial ‘dark matter’. Single-cell Raman spectra (SCRSs) are label-free biochemical ‘fingerprints’ of individual cells, which can ...

Selective screening: isolation of fungal strains from contaminated soils in Austria

Die Bodenkultur, 2018
Microorganisms are potent contributors to maintaining a safe environment as they are able to degrade organic toxicants. For environmental applications, mostly bacteria are used while fungal strains have received less attention.

The genome and transcriptome of Trichormus sp NMC-1: insights into adaptation to extreme environments on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]

, 2016
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) has the highest biodiversity for an extreme environment worldwide, and provides an ideal natural laboratory to study adaptive evolution.

Bacillus pumilus isolated from sabkha rhizosphere ameliorates the behavior of the facultative halophyte Hordeum marinum when salt-challenged by improving nutrient uptake and soil health-related traits

Plant Stress
Plant growth-promoting rhizosphere bacteria (PGPR) are increasingly considered as highly efficient bioagents. They confer for instance better salt tolerance to host plants while improving soil enzyme activities and microbiome diversity, which are ...

Cross-Stress Adaptation in a Piezophilic and Hyperthermophilic Archaeon From Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Hyperthermophiles, living in environments above 80°C and usually coupling with multi-extreme environmental stresses, have drawn great attention due to their application potential in biotechnology and being the primitive extant forms of life.
