Understanding High-Salt and Cold Adaptation of a Polyextremophilic Enzyme [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
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.

In vitro biosynthesis of Ag, Au and Te-containing nanostructures by Exiguobacterium cell-free extracts

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2020
Background The bacterial genus Exiguobacterium includes several species that inhabit environments with a wide range of temperature, salinity, and pH. This is why the microorganisms from this genus are known generically as polyextremophiles.
