Fog, Symbiosis, and Survival: The Ecological Architecture of the Grit Crust From the Atacama Desert Represents a Lichen Holobiome Rather Than a Soil Microbiome

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
Multi‐marker metabarcoding (16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, ITS2) of the fog‐dependent grit crust in the Atacama Desert reveals a community structured by lichen symbioses rather than typical soil‐derived microbial assemblages. The green algal photobiont Trebouxia dominates the eukaryotic community, accompanied by lichenized Caliciales and lichen‐associated ...

Effect of Metal Cations on Selenite Bioreduction by a Consortium of Halophilic/Halotolerant Bacteria and/or Yeast

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Evaluation the effects of potentially toxic co‐contaminating metal cations, including cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and Zinc (Zn), on the bioreduction of selenite by a consortium of halotolerant and halophilic bacteria and/or yeast. ABSTRACT Selenium oxyanion pollution in the environment, often originating from anthropogenic industrial activities, causes ...

Reduction in Salt Stress Due to the Action of Halophilic Bacteria That Promote Plant Growth in Solanum lycopersicum

Microorganisms, 2023
Soil salinity is one of the most important factors reducing agricultural productivity worldwide. Halophilic plant growth-promoting bacteria (H-PGPB) represent an alternative method of alleviating saline stress in crops of agricultural interest.

Polyphasic Characterization of Acetobacter indonesiensis UNPADCC 01‐5 Isolated From a Traditional Fermented Food, Oncom Merah

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
The polyphasic approach (morphology, physiology, biochemistry and genetics) was used to characterize Acetobacter indonesiensis strain UNPADCC 01‐5, which was isolated from oncom merah. The strain's potential as a culture for acidic fermentations and a biofunctional agent was supported by its adaptive characteristics, which included acid tolerance ...

Using Bacillus subtilis as a Host Cell to Express an Antimicrobial Peptide from the Marine Chordate Ciona intestinalis

Marine Drugs, 2021
Ciona molecule against microbes-A24 (CiMAM) isolated from the marine chordate Ciona intestinalis is an antimicrobial peptide. To generate CiMAM-expressing transgenic Bacillus subtilis, we constructed a plasmid expressing recombinant CiMAM (rCiMAM) and ...

The Function of Gas Vesicles in Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria: Theories and Experimental Evidence

Life, 2012
A few extremely halophilic Archaea (Halobacterium salinarum, Haloquadratum walsbyi, Haloferax mediterranei, Halorubrum vacuolatum, Halogeometricum borinquense, Haloplanus spp.) possess gas vesicles that bestow buoyancy on the cells. Gas vesicles are also

Genomic Survey of Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenases Reveals Their Widespread Distribution in Marine Habitats

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Protein sequence surveys show that nickel‐ and molybdenum/copper‐containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs) are widespread in the ocean. Phylogenetic and genome context analyses reveal that marine CODHs are highly diverse in both evolutionary history and functional organisation.
