Research in extreme environments has substantially expanded our understanding of the
ecology and evolution of life on Earth, but a major group of organisms has been largely …

Extremophiles have always garnered great interest because of their exotic lifestyles and
ability to thrive at the physical limits of life. In hot springs environments, the Cyanidiophyceae …

The high temperature, acidity, and heavy metal-rich environments associated with hot
springs have a major impact on biological processes in resident cells. One group of …

The Cyanidiophyceae, an extremophilic red algal class, is distributed worldwide in extreme
environments. Species grow either in acidic hot environments or in dim light conditions …

Eukaryotic organelle genomes are generally of conserved size and gene content within
phylogenetic groups. However, significant variation in genome structure may occur. Here …

Galdieria sulphuraria is a cosmopolitan microalga found in volcanic hot springs and
calderas. It grows at low pH in photoautotrophic (use of light as a source of energy) or …

Algal based wastewater treatment offers the opportunity to recover, in the form of biomass,
the nutrients and internal chemical energy of wastewater. Recently, there has been a …

In this study, the whole mitochondrial genome sequencing of Aspergillus chevalieri, which
was isolated from dark tea were analyzed and compared with its two related species …

The genomes of peridinin-containing dinoflagellate chloroplasts have a very unusual
organisation. These genomes are highly fragmented and greatly reduced, with most of the …

This article provides an updated review on the evolution of mitochondria from bacteria,
which were likely related to extant alphaproteobacteria. Particular attention is given to the …
