Microbial communities of the Lemon Creek Glacier show subtle structural variation yet stable phylogenetic composition over space and time

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Glaciers are geologically important yet transient ecosystems that support diverse, biogeochemically significant microbial communities. During the melt season glaciers undergo dramatic physical, geochemical and biological changes that exert great ...

PSOSP uncovers pervasive SOS‐independent prophages with distinct genomic and host traits in bacterial genomes

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 5, October 2025.
Prophages are ubiquitously present in bacterial genomes, significantly influencing host physiological and ecological functions. We present Prophage SOS‐dependency Predictor (PSOSP), a novel bioinformatics tool that predicts prophages induction modes by analyzing the Heterology Index (HI) of LexA protein binding to target DNA, classifying prophages into

Identification and Global Distribution of a Core Microbiome From High‐Arctic Lakes

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
Identification of the core microbiome from clear water lakes in the Arctic reveals non‐unique members when compared with a conceptually similar lake from a more temperate region. Biogeographic assignments revealed that the genera from this core were widespread globally within four general habitat categories.

Quantitative Ecology of Psychrophilic Microorganisms [PDF]

Applied Microbiology, 1966
To obtain information on the importance of psychrophiles in nature, 95 samples of soil, water, mud, and various foods were quantitatively assayed for their content of psychrophilic bacteria and fungi and also for mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria and fungi. Thousands to millions of psychrophilic bacteria were present per gram of soil and represented

An Unexpected Facet of Extremophiles: Their Aesthetic Potential in Artistic Expression

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
In an era marked by environmental challenges and the proliferation of misinformation, the fusion of art and science is a strategy to promote public understanding and appreciation of complex scientific phenomena. We illustrate how the use of extremophiles offers novel avenues for artistic exploration and emphasise the benefits of such interdisciplinary ...

Chemoautotrophy in subzero environments and the potential for cold-adapted Rubisco

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
The act of fixing inorganic carbon into the biosphere is largely facilitated by one enzyme, Rubisco. Beyond well-studied plants and cyanobacteria, many bacteria use Rubisco for chemolithoautotrophy in extreme environments on Earth. Here, we characterized

Influence of Plant Species and De‐Icing Salt on Microbial Communities in Bioretention

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Plant species shape bioretention bacterial and fungal communities and their associated functions, which drive system efficiency. These results underscore the importance of plant selection when designing bioretention systems. Moreover, the communities were preserved or recovered within 5 months after the exposure to NaCl levels typical of spring runoff.

Discovery, Molecular Mechanisms and Industrial Applications of Cold-Active Enzymes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Cold-active enzymes constitute an attractive resource for biotechnological applications. Their high catalytic activity at temperatures below 25 ºC makes them excellent biocatalysts that eliminate the need of heating processes hampering the quality ...

Transcriptomic Analyses Unveil Hydrocarbon Degradation Mechanisms in a Novel Polar Rhodococcus sp. Strain R1B_2T From a High Arctic Intertidal Zone Exposed to Ultra‐Low Sulphur Fuel Oil

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Cold‐adapted Rhodococcus sp. strain R1B_2T from Arctic Tupirvik Beach (Northwest Passage) degrades short‐ to long‐chain hydrocarbons in summer seawater (−1°C to 5°C) via a synergistic activity of key hydrocarbon degradation genes (alkB, CYP153, almA, and ladA), with rhlABCR‐linked rhamnolipid production supporting biodegradation.
