Ignicoccus hospitalis: a polyextremophilic microorganism with unusual high radiation tolerance [PDF]
Ignicoccus hospitalis´ tolerance to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation has been studied extensively, and the DNA damages were visualized on a molecular level. Ignicoccus species, strictly anaerobic, hyperthermophilic (Topt. 90°C), chemolithoautotrophic, were found in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and belong to the phylogenetically deep-branching ...

Crystal structure of γ-carbonic anhydrase from the polyextremophilic bacterium Aeribacillus pallidus
The polyextremophilic bacterium Aeribacillus pallidus produces a thermo- and alkali-stable γ-carbonic anhydrase (γ-apCA), a homotrimeric metalloenzyme containing a zinc ion in its active site that catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide (CO2).

RESILIENCE TO EXPOSURE EXPERIMENTS BY SALINISPHAERA SHABANENSIS: A NEW POLYEXTREMOPHILIC MODEL ORGANISM FOR ASTROBIOLOGY [PDF]
The deep-sea anoxic brines of the Red Sea include some of the most extreme locations on Earth (1). Their unique combination of high salinity, high-pressure, anoxia, and varying levels of hydrothermal input make them a valuable source of new polyextremophilic microbes and for exploring the limits of life.

Curtobacterium aetherium sp. nov., a polyextremophilic plant pathogen isolated from the stratosphere
ABSTRACT Although the high-altitude limit for microbial survival in the Earth–atmosphere system has remained a scientific curiosity and topic of study, the ecological significance of long-distance microbial dispersal in the atmosphere has been perceived to have marginal relevance.
