Culture-dependent and -independent methods reveal dominance of halophilic Euryarchaeota in high-altitude Andean lakes [PDF]
, 2018 The hypersaline and extreme environments of the so-called high-altitude Andean lakes in the dry central region of the Andes are considered pristine ecosystems of biotechnological interest.

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2024.The gene encoding the global regulator PprI from Deinococcus radiodurans, an inducer of pleiotropic proteins promoting DNA repair, was expressed in Pseudomonas putida. The cells harbouring the global transcriptional regulator exhibited high tolerance toward benzaldehyde, acetaldehyde, ethanol, butanol, NaCl, H2O2 and thermal stress, thereby reflecting ...

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.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2024.Metabolic modelling with GEMs is a valuable tool for studying extremophiles and simulating genetic and environmental changes. Integration with other mathematical approaches aids in predicting life forms in astroenvironments, informing the origins of life and space adaptation.

A New Desalination Pump Helps Define the pH of Ocean Worlds [PDF]
, 2018 We study ocean exoplanets, for which the global surface ocean is separated from the rocky interior by a high-pressure ice mantle. We describe a mechanism that can pump salts out of the ocean, resulting in oceans of very low salinity. Here we focus on the

Bioresource Technology, 2020 This work aimed to evaluate the applicability of Aeribacillus pallidus for the aerobic treatment of the concentrated beet vinasse with high chemical oxygen demand (COD 685 g.L-1) that is defined as an environmental pollutant. This bacterium is a polyextremophilic strain and grow aerobically up to 7.5% vinasse at high temperature (50 °C).

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

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,

Tolypocladium parasiticum Barron, a polyextremophilic fungus
, 2023 In the past decades, great attention was devoted to extremophilic microorganisms. Extremophiles survive in extreme conditions, such as extreme temperatures, high saline, acidic, and alkaline solutions or environments with increased heavy metal content (1).
