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 ...

An Unexpected Facet of Extremophiles: Their Aesthetic Potential in Artistic Expression
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.In an era marked by environmental challenges and the proliferation of misinformation, the fusion of art and science is a strategy to promote public understanding and appreciation of complex scientific phenomena. We illustrate how the use of extremophiles offers novel avenues for artistic exploration and emphasise the benefits of such interdisciplinary ...

Improved GFP Variants to Study Gene Expression in Haloarchaea
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The study of promoter activities in haloarchaea is carried out exclusively using enzymes as reporters. An alternative reporter is the gene encoding the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), a simple and fast tool for investigating promoter strengths. However,
