Astrobiology of life on Earth

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 3335-3344, July 2021., 2021
Summary Astrobiology is mistakenly regarded by some as a field confined to studies of life beyond Earth. Here, we consider life on Earth through an astrobiological lens. Whereas classical studies of microbiology historically focused on various anthropocentric sub‐fields (such as fermented foods or commensals and pathogens of crop plants, livestock and ...

Protease Production from Polyextremophilic Bacteria

International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2016
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 ...

Systems biology of cold adaptation in the polyextremophilic red algaGaldieria sulphuraria [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
AbstractRapid fluctuation of environmental conditions can impose severe stress upon living organisms. Surviving such episodes of stress requires a rapid acclimation response, e.g., by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. Persistent change of the environmental context, however, requires longer-term adaptation at the genetic level.

Characterization of Skoliomonas gen. nov., a haloalkaliphilic anaerobe related to barthelonids (Metamonada). [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
Abstract Metamonads are a large and exclusively anaerobic group of protists. Additionally, they are one of the three clades proposed to ancestrally possess an “excavate” cell morphology, with a conspicuous ventral groove accompanied by a posterior flagellum with a vane.
