Extremophilic microbes: Diversity and perspectives
A variety of microbes inhabit extreme environments. Extreme is a relative term, which is viewed compared to what is normal for human beings. Extreme environments include high temperature, pH, pressure, salt concentration, and low temperature, pH, nutrient concentration and water availability, and also conditions having high levels of radiation, harmful heavy metals and toxic compounds (organic ...
متن کاملCarotenoid biosynthesis in extremophilic Deinococcus-Thermus bacteria.
Bacteria from the phylum Deinococcus-Thermus are known for their resistance to extreme stresses including radiation, oxidation, desiccation and high temperature. Cultured Deinococcus-Thermus bacteria are usually red or yellow pigmented because of their ability to synthesize carotenoids. Unique carotenoids found in these bacteria include deinoxanthin from Deinococcus radiodurans and thermozeaxan...
متن کاملExtremeDB: A Unified Web Repository of Extremophilic Archaea and Bacteria
Extremophiles are the microorganisms which can survive under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, pH, salinity etc. They have gained much attention for their potential role in biotechnological and industrial applications. The large amount of experimental data in the literature is so diverse, that it becomes difficult and time consuming for the researcher to implement it in various areas...
متن کاملPossibilities for extremophilic microorganisms in microbial electrochemical systems
Microbial electrochemical systems exploit the metabolism of microorganisms to generate electrical energy or a useful product. In the past couple of decades, the application of microbial electrochemical systems has increased from the use of wastewaters to produce electricity to a versatile technology that can use numerous sources for the extraction of electrons on the one hand, while on the othe...
متن کاملOLE RNA protects extremophilic bacteria from alcohol toxicity
OLE (Ornate, Large, Extremophilic) RNAs represent a recently discovered non-coding RNA class found in extremophilic anaerobic bacteria, including certain human pathogens. OLE RNAs exhibit several unusual characteristics that indicate a potentially novel function, including exceptionally high expression and localization to cell membranes via interaction with a protein partner called OLE-associat...
