Sea ice as habitat for microalgae, bacteria, virus, fungi, meio- and macrofauna: A review of an extreme environment [PDF]
The novel concept of the review is a focus on the organisms living in the sea ice and what mechanisms they have developed for their existence. The review describes the physical environment of the sea ice and the microorganisms living there as microalgae,

eLife, 2019 The role and extent of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in eukaryotes are hotly disputed topics that impact our understanding of the origin of metabolic processes and the role of organelles in cellular evolution. We addressed this issue by analyzing 10 novel Cyanidiales genomes and determined that 1% of their gene inventory is HGT-derived.

Insertion sequences enrichment in extreme Red sea brine pool vent
, 2017 Mobile genetic elements are major agents of genome diversification and evolution. Limited studies addressed their characteristics, including abundance, and role in extreme habitats. One of the rare natural habitats exposed to multiple-extreme conditions,

Crystal structure of γ-carbonic anhydrase from the polyextremophilic bacterium Aeribacillus pallidus
Molecules and CellsThe 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).

Ignicoccus hospitalis: a polyextremophilic microorganism with unusual high radiation tolerance [PDF]
, 2016 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 ...

Curtobacterium aetherium sp. nov., a polyextremophilic plant pathogen isolated from the stratosphere
Microbiology SpectrumABSTRACT 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.
