Heterologous Expression and Biochemical Characterization of a New α-Amylase from Nocardiopsis aegyptia HDN19-252 of Antarctic Animal Origin

Marine Drugs
α-Amylases, catalyzing starch degradation, serve as vital biocatalysts in industrial and pharmaceutical applications. This study identified a new α-amylase, Alphaz, from Nocardiopsis aegyptia HDN19-252 of Antarctic animal origin, achieving heterologous ...

Halotolerant rhizobacteria promote growth and enhance salinity tolerance in peanut

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Use of Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a promising strategy to improve the crop production under optimal or sub-optimal conditions. In the present study, five diazotrophic salt tolerant bacteria were isolated from the roots of a halophyte,

Highly Efficient Biodegradation of Postconsumer Polylactic Acid Waste: The First Report on Priestia aryabhattai SNRUSAC3 and a Newly Isolated Bacillus sp. SNRUSAC1

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The increasing use of polylactic acid (PLA) for single‐use packaging has led to a growing accumulation of bioplastic waste. This study presents a comprehensive approach for enhancing the degradation of postconsumer PLA packaging waste, beginning with the isolation, screening, and identification of highly effective bacteria and culminating in the ...

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 ...

What traits underpin the successful establishment and spread of the invasive water bug Trichocorixa verticalis verticalis? [PDF]

, 2017
The introduction of exotic species has a major impact on a wide range of ecosystems, especially in aquatic ecosystems. Trichocorixa v. verticalis (Fieber, 1851), an euryhaline aquatic hemipteran native North America, has occurred as an exotic species in ...

Broad Ecological Niche in Seashore Lichens Emerges From a Stable, Selective Association With Generalist Algal Symbionts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
In mutualistic symbioses, partner flexibility often broadens the host ecological niche. We found a stable association between littoral lichens and their algal symbionts along a natural salinity gradient, suggesting that the broad ecological niche can be facilitated by association with a single generalist symbiont.

Seed Traits and Salt Tolerance Contribute to the Range Expansion of Plantago coronopus Along Winter‐Salted Roads in Central Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our aim was to investigate the role of seed dimorphism and seed traits in the successful roadside spread of P. coronopus, and to compare its salt tolerance to other species of the Plantago genus native to Central Europe. Our results show that winter‐salted roadsides are suitable habitats for P. coronopus and other salt‐tolerant Plantago species.
