Characterization and partial purification of an antibacterial agent from halophilic actinomycetes Kocuria sp. strain rsk4 [PDF]
Introduction: The inevitable rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a global health problem. These pathogens erode the utility of available antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major causes of community-acquired infections.

Marine Myxobacteria: A Few Good Halophiles
Currently considered an excellent candidate source of novel chemical diversity, the existence of marine myxobacteria was in question less than 20 years ago.

Understanding High-Salt and Cold Adaptation of a Polyextremophilic Enzyme
The haloarchaeon Halorubrum lacusprofundi is among the few polyextremophilic organisms capable of surviving in one of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth, the Deep Lake of Antarctica (−18 °C to +11.5 °C and 21–28%, w/v salt content). Hence, H.

Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB) is a reference work aimed at undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, professors and experienced professionals at all levels. About a hundred new genera and 600+ new species have been described per year for each of the last 5 years.

Misprediction of Structural Disorder in Halophiles
Whereas the concept of intrinsic disorder derives from biophysical observations of the lack of structure of proteins or protein regions under native conditions, many of our respective concepts rest on proteome-scale bioinformatics predictions.

Concrete hosts a small but diverse microbiome that changes over time. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing would enable assessment of both the diversity and function of the microbial community in concrete, but a number of unique challenges make this difficult ...

Abstract Microbiome‐based approaches are increasingly recognized as sustainable and complementary strategies for overcoming persistent constraints in agricultural production. In this article, we synthesize existing evidence on microbiome applications in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) aimed at resolving major binding constraints compromising sustainable crop ...

Lithium for rechargeable batteries is increasingly extracted from brines in high‐Andean salars. Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies are promoted as sustainable alternatives to conventional evaporation ponds. This work explores how brine modification and reinjection may affect microbial communities and ecosystem functioning, highlighting the ...

Accelerated Adaptive Evolution of Gram‐Negative Bacteria With a Broad‐Host‐Range Dual Base Editor
We developed a broad‐host‐range dual base editor that transiently induces genome‐wide hypermutation, accelerating adaptive laboratory evolution by up to four orders of magnitude. The platform rapidly generates improved bacterial phenotypes across diverse Gram‐negative species, enabling faster evolutionary engineering for biotechnology.
