Characterization of growth and metabolism of the haloalkaliphile Natronomonas pharaonis [PDF]

, 2010
Natronomonas pharaonis is an archaeon adapted to two extreme conditions: high salt concentration and alkaline pH. It has become one of the model organisms for the study of extremophilic life.

Structure and function of the Ts2631 endolysin of Thermus scotoductus phage vB_Tsc2631 with unique N-terminal extension used for peptidoglycan binding

Scientific Reports, 2019
To escape from hosts after completing their life cycle, bacteriophages often use endolysins, which degrade bacterial peptidoglycan. While mesophilic phages have been extensively studied, their thermophilic counterparts are not well characterized.

Implication of peroxisomes and mitochondria in the halophyte Cakile maritima tolerance to salinity stress

Biologia Plantarum, 2019
The role of mitochondria and peroxisomes in the tolerance of the halophyte Cakile martima to salt stress was studied. The plants were subjected to 0, 100, and 200 mM NaCl for 5 weeks.

Polar Microalgae: New Approaches towards Understanding Adaptations to an Extreme and Changing Environment [PDF]

, 2014
Polar Regions are unique and highly prolific ecosystems characterized by extreme environmental gradients. Photosynthetic autotrophs, the base of the food web, have had to adapt physiological mechanisms to maintain growth, reproduction and metabolic ...

Microbial Communities of Polymetallic Deposits’ Acidic Ecosystems of Continental Climatic Zone With High Temperature Contrasts

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Acid mine drainage (AMD) systems are globally widespread and are an important source of metal pollution in riverine and coastal systems. Microbial AMD communities have been extensively studied for their ability to thrive under extremely acidic conditions

An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 4, 16 January 2026.
Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

Manganese‐Induced Production of Antioxidant Polyene Steroids in the Extremophile Fungus Talaromyces fuscoviridis Isolated From Copper‐Mine Soil

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The fungus Talaromyces fuscoviridis was isolated from soil collected in a copper‐mine tailings basin in Pará State, Brazil, an extreme environment that can induce the production of bioactive secondary metabolites. Extracts and fractions obtained after cultivation were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to high‐resolution mass ...
