Haemoglobin (Hb) is widely known as the iron-containing protein in blood that is essential
for O 2 transport in mammals. Less widely recognised is that erythrocyte Hb belongs to a …

The recent emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become a critical public health
problem. It is also a concern for industries, since multidrug-resistant microorganisms affect …

Extremophilic microbes have adapted to thrive in ecological niches characterized by harsh
chemical/physical conditions such as, for example, very low/high temperature. Living …

Plant hemoglobins constitute a diverse group of hemeproteins and evolutionarily belong to
three different classes. Class 1 hemoglobins possess an extremely high affinity to oxygen …

A bioinformatics survey of putative globins in over 2200 bacterial and some 140 archaeal
genomes revealed that over half the bacterial and approximately one fifth of archaeal …

Antarctic have been suggested as an attractive source for antibiotics discovery and
members of Streptomyces genus have historically been studied as natural producers of …

Background Pseudoalteromonas is a genus of ubiquitous marine bacteria used as model
organisms to study the biological mechanisms involved in the adaptation to cold conditions …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a reactive gaseous molecule that has several functions in biological
systems depending on its concentration. At low concentrations, NO acts as a signaling …

Considering the increasing impact of bacterial biofilms on human health, industrial and food-
processing activities, the interest in the development of new approaches for the prevention …

Abstract The Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125 is a model
