Pressure Perturbation Approach in Biochemistry and Structural Biology. In memoriam of Dr. Gaston Hui Bon Hoa [PDF]
, 2022 This Special Issue focuses on the effects of hydrostatic pressure on biological systems and the use of these effects for exploring the structure, function, and molecular dynamics of biological macromolecules and their ensembles.

Microbiomes of an oyster are shaped by metabolism and environment. [PDF]
, 2022 Microbiomes can both influence and be influenced by metabolism, but this relationship remains unexplored for invertebrates. We examined the relationship between microbiome and metabolism in response to climate change using oysters as a model marine ...

Novel psychropiezophilic Oceanospirillales species Profundimonas piezophila gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from the deep-sea environment of the Puerto Rico trench [PDF]
, 2013 The diversity of deep-sea high-pressure-adapted (piezophilic) microbes in isolated monoculture remains low. In this study, a novel obligately psychropiezophilic bacterium was isolated from seawater collected from the Puerto Rico Trench at a depth of ~ 6 ...

The FEBS Journal, Volume 287, Issue 24, Page 5394-5410, December 2020., 2020 The studies of lactate dehydrogenase of hadal and abyssal fishes vs. pressure revealed an unexpected aspect of piezophilic adaptation—an increase in specific volume change of pressure‐induced deactivating transition concomitant with an increase in the pressure of half‐inactivation (P1/2).

Molecular evolution of the hyperthermophilic archaea of the Pyrococcus genus: analysis of adaptation to different environmental conditions [PDF]
, 2009 Background Prokaryotic microorganisms are able to survive and proliferate in severe environmental conditions. The increasing number of complete sequences of prokaryotic genomes has provided the basis for studying the molecular mechanisms of their ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2020., 2020 By combining DNA stable‐isotope probing and Illumina Miseq high‐throughput sequencing, we identified 14 bacterial taxonomic groups actively involved in the decomposition of particulate organic matter (POM) at different pressures. Both particle‐attached and free‐living microorganisms were able to decompose POM and assimilate the released dissolved ...

Piezophilic Phenotype Is Growth Condition Dependent and Correlated with the Regulation of Two Sets of ATPase in Deep-Sea Piezophilic Bacterium Photobacterium profundum SS9. [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Alteration of respiratory components as a function of pressure is a common strategy developed in deep-sea microorganisms, presumably to adapt to high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). While the electron transport chain and terminal reductases have been extensively studied in deep-sea bacteria, little is known about their adaptations for ATP generation.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Deep-sea hydrothermal vent environments are characterized by high hydrostatic pressure and sharp temperature and chemical gradients. Horizontal gene transfer is thought to play an important role in the microbial adaptation to such an extreme environment.

High hydrostatic pressure adaptive strategies in an obligate piezophile Pyrococcus yayanosii. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractPyrococcus yayanosii CH1, as the first and only obligate piezophilic hyperthermophilic microorganism discovered to date, extends the physical and chemical limits of life on Earth. It was isolated from the Ashadze hydrothermal vent at 4,100 m depth.
