An Unexpected Facet of Extremophiles: Their Aesthetic Potential in Artistic Expression. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolIn 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 ...

Diversity of halophilic archaea in the crystallizers of an Adriatic solar saltern [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2005 Haloarchaeal diversity in the crystallizers of Adriatic Secovlje salterns was investigated using gene fragments encoding 16S rRNA and bacteriorhodopsin as molecular markers. Screening of 180 clones from five gene libraries constructed for each gene targeted revealed 15 different 16S rRNA and 10 different bacteriorhodopsin phylotypes, indicating higher ...
