The biology of habitat dominance; can microbes behave as weeds? [PDF]
, 2013 Competition between microbial species is a product of, yet can lead to a reduction in, the microbial diversity of specific habitats. Microbial habitats can resemble ecological battlefields where microbial cells struggle to dominate and/or annihilate each

Is there a common water-activity limit for the three domains of life? [PDF]
, 2014 Archaea and Bacteria constitute a majority of life systems on Earth but have long been considered inferior to Eukarya in terms of solute tolerance. Whereas the most halophilic prokaryotes are known for an ability to multiply at saturated NaCl (water ...

A polyextremophilic alcohol dehydrogenase from the Atlantis
FEBS Open Bio, 2018 Enzymes originating from hostile environments offer exceptional stability under industrial conditions and are therefore highly in demand. Using single‐cell genome data, we identified the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene, adh/a1a, from the Atlantis II Deep Red Sea brine pool. ADH/A1a is highly active at elevated temperatures and high salt concentrations
