Diversity of dsDNA viruses in a South African hot spring assessed by metagenomics and microscopy
(MDPI, 2017)
The current view of virus diversity in terrestrial hot springs is limited to a few sampling
sites. To expand our current understanding of hot spring viral community diversity, this study
aimed to investigate the first ...
Factors influencing pigment production by halophilic bacteria and its effect on brine evaporation rates
(Wiley, 2018)
The disposal of reject brine, a highly concentrated
waste by-product generated by various industrial
processes, represents a major economic and environmental
challenge. The common practice in dealing
with the large ...
Genomic characterization of a prophage, Smhb1, that Infects Salinivibrio kushneri BNH isolated from a Namib Desert saline spring
(MDPI, 2021)
Recent years have seen the classification and reclassification of many viruses related to the model enterobacterial phage P2. Here, we report the identification of a prophage (Smhb1) that infects Salinivibrio kushneri BNH ...
Three novel bacteria associated with two centric diatom species from the Mediterranean Sea, Thalassiosira rotula and Skeletonema marinoi
(MPDI, 2021)
Diatoms are a successful group of microalgae at the base of the marine food web. For
hundreds of millions of years, they have shared common habitats with bacteria, which favored
the onset of interactions at different ...
Isolation and characterization of strain exiguobacterium sp. Krl4, a producer of bioactive secondary metabolites from a Tibetan glacier
(MPDI, 2021)
Extremophilic microorganisms represent a unique source of novel natural products. Among
them, cold adapted bacteria and particularly alpine microorganisms are still underexplored. Here,
we describe the isolation and ...
