Airborne Halophilic and Non‐Halophilic Microbial Communities in an Underground Salt Mine Affected by Seasonal Environmental Fluctuations

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Potential of Subterranean Microbes: High‐Throughput Screening for Industrially Relevant Enzymatic Activities in Dinaric Caves

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Microbial communities from seven Dinaric cave ecosystems were surveyed for their laccase, urethanase, and protease enzymatic activities. The findings suggested potential applications in bioremediation, the biodegradation of synthetic polymers, and industrial biotechnology, highlighting the importance of biodiversity conservation.

Mining Thermophile Genomes for New PETases with Exceptional Thermostabilities Using Sequence Similarity Networks

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 12, June 16, 2025.
Targeted genome mining identified thermostable enzymes (PETases) that hydrolyze the commonly used plastic polymer polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Thermostable enzymes are identified from thermophilic microbial sources. Experimental results reveal enzymatic activity on authentic PET films, highlighting potential for industrial application.

Utilization of formic acid by extremely thermoacidophilic archaea species

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2024.
Our work explores formic acid metabolism in extreme microorganisms, novel hosts that hold promise for biomanufacturing distinct products including thermostable enzymes and lipids. We investigated formic acid tolerance and utilization in archaea species within the Sulfolobus genus, and novel bioreactor culturing methods to overcome formic acid toxicity.
