Extremophiles and Extreme Environments [PDF]
Life, 2013 Over the last decades, the study of extremophiles has providing ground breaking discoveries that challenge the paradigms of modern biology and make us rethink intriguing questions such as "what is life?", "what are the limits of life?", and "what are the fundamental features of life?". These findings and possibilities have made the study of life in

Bioactive Secondary Metabolites from Acid Mine Waste Extremophiles [PDF]
, 2014 The extremophilic microbes of the Berkeley Pit Lake are a valuable source of new and interesting secondary metabolites. It is of particular interest that these acidophilic microbes produce small molecule inhibitors of pathways associated with low pH and ...

Survival in an extreme habitat: the roles of behaviour and energy limitation [PDF]
, 2018 Extreme habitats challenge animals with highly adverse conditions, like extreme temperatures or toxic substances. In this paper, we report of a fish (Poecilia mexicana) inhabiting a limestone cave in Mexico.

High diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in geothermal soils affected by high methane fluxes [PDF]
, 2014 Volcanic and geothermal systems emit endogenous gases by widespread degassing from soils, including CH4, a greenhouse gas 25 times as potent as CO2. Recently, it has been demonstrated that volcanic/geothermal soils act as source, but also as biological

Rhodotorula mucilaginosa Growth on Glutamine Is Sensitive to Mammalian-Glutaminase Inhibitors
FermentationThe extremophile yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa can grow in extremely poor environments. Glutamine (Gln) is an important anaplerotic substrate for gluconeogenesis and pentose synthesis.

Airborne microorganisms in muddy rain: microbe-mineral interactions and their ecosystem impact
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe Sahara Desert and the Sahel region in North Africa contribute approximately 50–70% of global atmospheric dust emissions. Microorganisms can attach to dust particles and be dispersed into exogenous environments, being subsequently deposited by ...
