Mapping Archaeal Diversity in Soda Lakes by Coupling 16S rRNA PCR-DGGE Analysis with Remote Sensing and GIS Technology

open access: yesFermentation, 2022
The haloarchaeal diversity of four hypersaline alkaline lakes from the Wadi El-Natrun depression (Northern Egypt) was investigated using culture-independent polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) of 16S rRNA gene ...

Ancient saltern metagenomics: tracking changes in microbes and their viruses from the underground to the surface

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 3477-3498, July 2021., 2021
Summary Microbial communities in hypersaline underground waters derive from ancient organisms trapped within the evaporitic salt crystals and are part of the poorly known subterranean biosphere. Here, we characterized the viral and prokaryotic assemblages present in the hypersaline springs that dissolve Triassic‐Keuper evaporite rocks and feed the ...

Distribution of Denitrification among Haloarchaea: A Comprehensive Study

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Microorganisms from the Halobacteria class, also known as haloarchaea, inhabit a wide range of ecosystems of which the main characteristic is the presence of high salt concentration.

Determining virus-host interactions and glycerol metabolism profiles in geographically diverse solar salterns with metagenomics [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Solar salterns are excellent model ecosystems for studying virus-microbial interactions because of their low microbial diversity, environmental stability, and high viral density.

Transkingdom network reveals bacterial players associated with cervical cancer gene expression program [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide with human papillomavirus (HPV) being the main cause the disease. Chromosomal amplifications have been identified as a source of upregulation for cervical cancer driver genes but cannot ...

High-Altitude Open-Pit Coal Mining has Changed the Sulfur Cycle and Ecological Network of Plant Rhizosphere Microorganisms. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study explored the changes in functional genes related to sulfur cycling and microbial diversity during different stages of succession following the ecological restoration of a mining site in a cold arid area. A total of three succession stages were selected—natural, secondary, and artificial.

Decoding the biological information contained in two ancient Slavonic parchment codices: an added historical value

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 22, Issue 8, Page 3218-3233, August 2020., 2020
Summary This study provides an example in the emerging field of biocodicology showing how metagenomics can help answer relevant questions that may contribute to a better understanding of the history of ancient manuscripts. To this end, two Slavonic codices dating from the 11th century were investigated through shotgun metagenomics.

Complete genome sequence of Haloterrigena turkmenica type strain (4k(T)) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Haloterrigena turkmenica (Zvyagintseva and Tarasov 1987) Ventosa et al. 1999, comb. nov. is the type species of the genus Haloterrigena in the euryarchaeal family Halobacteriaceae. It is of phylogenetic interest because of the yet unclear position of the
