Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins as Untapped Reservoir of Polyextremophilic Prokaryotes of Biotechnological Interest [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2020
Deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basins (DHABs) are considered to be among the most extreme ecosystems on our planet, allowing only the life of polyextremophilic organisms.

Polyextremophilic Bacteria from High Altitude Andean Lakes: Arsenic Resistance Profiles and Biofilm Production

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
High levels of arsenic present in the High Altitude Andean Lakes (HAALs) ecosystems selected arsenic‐resistant microbial communities which are of novel interest to study adaptations mechanisms potentially useful in bioremediation processes. We herein performed a detailed characterization of the arsenic tolerance profiles and the biofilm production of ...

Archaeal Communities in a Heterogeneous Hypersaline-Alkaline Soil [PDF]

open access: yesArchaea, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
In this study the archaeal communities in extreme saline-alkaline soils of the former lake Texcoco, Mexico, with electrolytic conductivities (EC) ranging from 0.7 to 157.2 dS/m and pH from 8.5 to 10.5 were explored.

Polyextremophile engineering: a review of organisms that push the limits of life. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Microbiol
Nature exhibits an enormous diversity of organisms that thrive in extreme environments. From snow algae that reproduce at sub-zero temperatures to radiotrophic fungi that thrive in nuclear radiation at Chernobyl, extreme organisms raise many questions about the limits of life. Is there any environment where life could not “find a way”?

Potential influence of microorganisms on the corrosion of carbon steel in the French high‐level long‐lived radioactive waste disposal context at 80°C

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, Volume 74, Issue 11-12, Page 1795-1810, November‐December 2023., 2023
Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) risk is assessed in the context of the French high‐level radioactive waste disposal. Experiments were carried out in different media with complementary microorganisms from underground research laboratory and culture collection centers.

Geomicrobiology of the Rincon de Parangueo maar crater: Exploring the link between an evolving extreme environment and its potential metabolic diversity

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 11, Page 1818-1838, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Rincon de Parangueo (RP) is a Quaternary maar crater located in the Michoacan‐Guanajuato Volcanic Field in central Mexico. Like other volcanic craters in the region, the central part was occupied by an endorheic lacustrine system. As a consequence of extensive groundwater extraction, the perennial lake started a gradual desiccation process and

Comparative Genome Analysis of Three Halobacillus Strains Isolated From Saline Environments Reveal Potential Salt Tolerance and Algicidal Mechanisms. [PDF]

open access: yesEnviron Microbiol Rep
Following the previous complete genome analysis, this research provides the function of new Halobacillus species. Three strains were identified: Halobacillus shinanisalinarum sp. nov. SSTM10‐2T, Halobacillus salinarum sp. nov. SSBR10‐3T, and Halobacillus amylolyticus sp. nov. SSHM10‐5T.

Multimodal imaging reveals a small subpopulation of Deinococcus radiodurans exhibiting correlated low superoxide radical levels with extraordinary silver ion metabolism

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 2, Issue 4, October 2022., 2022
Multi‐modal imaging reveals a subpopulation of Deinococcus radiodurans exhibiting extraordinary heavy metal metabolism and correlated low reactive oxygen species levels. Abstract A polyvalent strategy has recently been assumed to be adopted by Deinococcus radiodurans that can generate various resistance against many different detrimental sources of ...
