Low lignin solubility in aqueous solution is one of the major bottlenecks for lignin biodegradation and bioconversion.Alkaline solution contributes to improving lignin solubility,whereas most microbes can not survive ...
During adaptation to different habitat types, both morphological and behavioral traits can undergo divergent selection. Males often fight for status in dominance hierarchies and rank positions predict reproductive suc...
Urban life has led to the creation of human-made environments that,from a microbiological perspective,provide extreme life conditions.Certain non-ubiquitous microorganisms such as thermophilic members of the black yea...

The diversity of filamentous fungi that can grow at high ambient pH values(i.e.,8–11)remains largely understudied.Here we study 100 alkalitolerant and alkaliphilic isolates from the soils around the basin of soda lak...
The microcolonial black fungus Cryomyces antarcticus is an extremophile organism growing on and in rock in the Antarctic desert. Ecological plasticity and stress tolerance make it a perfect model organism for astrobio...

The term "extreme environments" describes the conditions that deviate from what mesophilic cells can tolerate. These condi- tions are "extreme" in the eye of mankind, but they may be suitable or even essential liv...
A halotolerant, gram positive, motile and rod, was isolated from the E1 Gol6a lake of Ghardaia, Alegria and screened for its antimicrobial potential. The strain showed an inhibitory effect to gram positive and gram ne...
