Environmental 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
FEBS 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 ...

A polyextremophilic alcohol dehydrogenase from the Atlantis II Deep Red Sea brine pool
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 194-205, February 2019., 2019 A polyextremophilic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) was identified from single amplified genomes of the Atlantis II brine pool and was characterized in terms of activity and stability. The ADH was stable under high temperatures and hypersaline conditions, tolerated organic solvents, and preferably converted cinnamyl alcohol derivatives.

ChemBioChem, 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.

Kinetics of Halophilic Enzymes [PDF]
, 2018 Hypersaline environments are those with salt concentrations 9–10 times higher (30–35% of NaCl) than sea water (3.5% of NaCl). At high concentrations of soluble salts, cytoplasm—mainly of bacteria and archaea—is exposed to high ionic strength and achieves

Utilization of formic acid by extremely thermoacidophilic archaea species
Microbial 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.
