Lessons from Extremophiles: Functional Adaptations and Genomic Innovations across the Eukaryotic Tree of Life. [PDF]
Genome Biol EvolFrom hydrothermal vents, to glaciers, to deserts, research in extreme environments has reshaped our understanding of how and where life can persist. Contained within the genomes of extremophilic organisms are the blueprints for a toolkit to tackle the ...

Extremophiles in biofuel synthesis [PDF]
Environmental Technology, 2010 The current global energy situation has demonstrated an urgent need for the development of alternative fuel sources to the continually diminishing fossil fuel reserves. Much research to address this issue focuses on the development of financially viable technologies for the production of biofuels.

Extremophilic and extremotolerant fungi
Current Biology, 2023 There are few places on Earth that are truly aseptic. Even environments that we may consider 'extreme', such as glaciers, deserts, or hypersaline bodies of water (Figure 1), can harbour life. The organisms that thrive in such environments - mostly microbes - are often referred to as 'extremophiles'.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) toward cost competitiveness and functionality
Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research, 2020 Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) have been produced by several bacteria as bioplastics in industrial scales. PHA commercialization has been challenging due to its complexity and the associated high cost together with instabilities on molecular weights (Mw ...

Living at the Extremes: Extremophiles and the Limits of Life in a Planetary Context
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Prokaryotic life has dominated most of the evolutionary history of our planet, evolving to occupy virtually all available environmental niches. Extremophiles, especially those thriving under multiple extremes, represent a key area of research for ...

High-Up: A Remote Reservoir of Microbial Extremophiles in Central Andean Wetlands [PDF]
, 2015 The Central Andes region displays unexplored ecosystems of shallow lakes and salt flats at mean altitudes of 3700 m. Being isolated and hostile, these so-called “High-Altitude Andean Lakes” (HAAL) are pristine and have been exposed to little human ...

Recent Development of Extremophilic Bacteria and Their Application in Biorefinery
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 The biorefining technology for biofuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass has made great progress in the world. However, mobilization of laboratory research toward industrial setup needs to meet a series of criteria, including the selection of ...
