Extremophiles and Extremophilic Behaviour—New Insights and Perspectives

Life
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 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 ...

A Model of Aerobic and Anaerobic Metabolism of Hydrogen in the Extremophile Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Hydrogen can serve as an electron donor for chemolithotrophic acidophiles, especially in the deep terrestrial subsurface and geothermal ecosystems. Nevertheless, the current knowledge of hydrogen utilization by mesophilic acidophiles is minimal.

SnapShot: Microbial Extremophiles

Cell, 2020
Extremophiles are remarkable examples of life's resilience, thriving in hot springs at boiling temperatures, in brine lakes saturated with salt, and in the driest deserts. We review the biogeography, currently known limits of life, and molecular adaptations to extremes. See the online interactive map for additional detail on biogeography, environmental

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, 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 ...

Performance of the edible halophyte Cakile maritima under critical magnesium and potassium thresholds

Journal of Oasis Agriculture and Sustainable Development
In their natural biotope, plants are challenged with low nutrient availability which is one of the most important limiting factors for plant production. Nutrient limitation causes disruption in several metabolic pathways resulting in a decrease in plant
