Selenium is an essential trace element for humans, animals and microorganisms. Microbial
transformations, in particular, selenium dissimilatory reduction and bioremediation …

Extremophilic microbes show a unique metabolism due to the adaptations they display to
deal with extreme environmental parameters characterizing the extreme ecosystems that …

Methane (CH4), which is produced endogenously in animals and plants, was recently
suggested to play a role in cellular physiology, potentially influencing the signaling …

Microorganisms play a critical role in the biogeochemical cycling of selenium (Se) in aquatic
environments, particularly in reducing the toxicity and bioavailability of selenite (Se (IV)) …

Molybdenum-and tungsten-dependent proteins catalyze essential processes in living
organisms and biogeochemical cycles. Among these enzymes, members of the dimethyl …

The earliest evidence of life captured in lithified microbial mats (microbialites) predates the
onset of oxygen production and yet, modern oxygenic mats are often studied as analogs …

We present here a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis of Acetobacteraceae, a vast
group of alphaproteobacteria that has been widely studied for their economic importance …

Extreme conditions and the availability of determinate substrates in oil fields promote the
growth of a specific microbiome. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and acid-producing …

Hypersaline soils are a source of prokaryotic diversity that has been overlooked until very
recently. The phylum Bacillota, which includes the genus Aquibacillus, is one of the 26 phyla …

Haloarchaea (halophilic microbes belonging to the Archaea domain) are microorganisms
requiring mid or even high salt concentrations to be alive. The molecular machinery of these …
