Singular adaptations in the carbon assimilation mechanism of the polyextremophile cyanobacterium Chroococcidiopsis thermalis

Photosynthesis Research, 2023
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 ...

Improving confirmed nanometric sulfur bioproduction using engineered Thioalkalivibrio versutus

, 2020
Complicated production procedures and superior characteristics of nano-sized sulfur elevate its price to 25-40 fold higher than micrograde kind. Also, natural gas hydrogen sulfide levels are restricted because of its toxic environmental consequences ...

An Antarctic Extreme Halophile and Its Polyextremophilic Enzyme: Effects of Perchlorate Salts [PDF]

Astrobiology, 2018
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.

Identification of a New Serine Alkaline Peptidase from the Moderately Halophilic Virgibacillus natechei sp. nov., Strain FarDT and its Application as Bioadditive for Peptide Synthesis and Laundry Detergent Formulations

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
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.

Genome‐Scale Metabolic Modeling of Archaea Lends Insight into Diversity of Metabolic Function

Archaea, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Decades of biochemical, bioinformatic, and sequencing data are currently being systematically compiled into genome‐scale metabolic reconstructions (GEMs). Such reconstructions are knowledge‐bases useful for engineering, modeling, and comparative analysis. Here we review the fifteen GEMs of archaeal species that have been constructed to date.

Constraining Microbial Community Composition, Structure, and Function Within Acidic Geothermal Springs on São Miguel Island [PDF]

, 2022
The study of polyextremophiles is critical for understanding both the limits of life and the adaptations that enable life under extreme conditions. Thermoacidophiles, which grow under co-occurring low pH (>3) and high temperature (>45C) conditions in ...

Halophiles as a source of polyextremophilic α-amylase for industrial applications

AIMS Microbiology, 2016
Halophiles are perceived as an excellent source of novel enzymes possessing inherent ability to function under saline and hypersaline environment conditions. The article covers and puts in perspective the structural and biocatalytic features of α-amylases from halophilic sources.
