Abstract Cyanobacteria largely contribute to the biogeochemical carbon cycle fixing ~ 25% of the inorganic carbon on Earth. However, the carbon acquisition and assimilation mechanisms in Cyanobacteria are still underexplored regardless of being of great importance for shedding light on the origins of autotropism ...

Protease Production from Polyextremophilic Bacteria
A B S T R A C T Extremophilic organisms which are capable of surviving in two different extreme environmental conditions simultaneously are known as polyextremophiles. These organisms are known to be potent producers of bioactive compounds namely enzymes such as proteases which are rapidly used in the growing industrial sector uses such as in the ...

An Antarctic Extreme Halophile and Its Polyextremophilic Enzyme: Effects of Perchlorate Salts [PDF]
Effects of perchlorate salts prevalent on the surface of Mars are of significant interest to astrobiology from the perspective of potential life on the Red Planet. Halorubrum lacusprofundi, a cold-adapted halophilic Antarctic archaeon, was able to grow anaerobically on 0.04 M concentration of perchlorate.

CULTIVATION CONDITIONS FOR PROTEASE PRODUCTION BY A THERMO-HALOSTABLE BACTERIAL ISOLATE PLS A
Polyextremophiles have increasingly been utilised to produce thermostable enzymes with better stability in multiple extreme conditions. This study reports the screening results of four new bacterial isolates (PLS A, PLS 75, PLS 76 and PLS 80), isolated ...

Draft Genome Sequence of the Antarctic Polyextremophile Nesterenkonia sp. Strain AN1 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nesterenkonia sp. strain AN1 was isolated from Antarctic soil and is a polyextremophile, being tolerant of low temperatures, high salt concentrations, and high alkalinity. Here we report the draft genome sequence of this strain.

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 ...

A new peptidase designated as SAPV produced from a moderately halophilic Virgibacillus natechei sp. nov., strain FarDT was investigated by purification to homogeneity followed by biochemical and molecular characterization purposes. Through optimization, it was determined that the optimum peptidase activity was 16,000 U/mL.
