Colonization of Maltese Catacombs by Phototrophic Biofilms. How Much Does Light Matter? [PDF]
The study of phototrophic biofilms from Maltese catacombs has shown that their distribution within catacombs does not show a significant dependence on orientation of catacomb and their location inside the catacombs.

Seed inoculation with bacterial consortium was found to increase legume yield, providing a higher growth than the standard nitrogen treatment methods. Alfalfa plants were inoculated by mono‐ and binary compositions of nitrogen‐fixing microorganisms. Their physiological and biochemical properties were estimated.

Hindcasting cyanobacterial communities in Lake Okaro with germination experiments and genetic analyses [PDF]
Cyanobacterial blooms are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Sparse historic phytoplankton records often result in uncertainty as to whether bloom-forming species have always been present and are proliferating in response to eutrophication or ...

Extracellular Proteins: Novel Key Components of Metal Resistance in Cyanobacteria? [PDF]
Metals are essential for all living organisms and required for fundamental biochemical processes. However, when in excess, metals can turn into highly-toxic agents able to disrupt cell membranes, alter enzymatic activities, and damage DNA.

One important strategy to increase the versatility of isocyanides is to employ functionalized isocyanides. It should be mentioned that after being functionalized, isocyanides can precisely regulate their reactivity during a chemical reaction. Natural occurring isocyanides exhibit distinct biosynthetic pathways, and understanding these pathways sheds ...

Developing a genetic manipulation system for the Antarctic archaeon, Halorubrum lacusprofundi: Investigating acetamidase gene function [PDF]
© 2016 The Author(s). No systems have been reported for genetic manipulation of cold-adapted Archaea. Halorubrum lacusprofundi is an important member of Deep Lake, Antarctica (∼10% of the population), and is amendable to laboratory cultivation.
