A large portion of the earth's surface consists of arid, semi-arid and hyper-arid lands. Life in
these regions is profoundly challenged by harsh environmental conditions of water …

Deserts, as an unexplored extreme ecosystem, are known to harbor diverse actinobacteria
with biotechnological potential. Both multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens and …

The study of plant-endophyte interactions is complex and difficult to decipher. In part, this is
because they are dynamic and diverse; these interactions can be mutualistic …

Change in global climate has started to show its effect in the form of extremes of
temperatures and water scarcity which is bound to impact adversely the global food security …

This study was designed to recover representative culturable actinomycetes from the
Atacama Desert, and to detect their ability to promote plant growth under drought conditions …

The application of organic materials that promote beneficial microbial activity is vital to
maintaining soil health and crop productivity. We investigated the effect on the soil …

Desert environments harbor unique microbial communities. This study focuses on
Cellulosimicrobium funkei isolate RVMD1, isolated from rock varnish in the Ma'an Desert …

Many endophytes and rhizobacteria associated with plants support the growth and health of
their hosts. The vast majority of these potentially beneficial bacteria have yet to be …

Background Lignocellulose is a renewable and enormous biomass resource, which can be
degraded efficiently by a range of cocktails of carbohydrate-active enzymes secreted by …

Cellulosimicrobium strain SE3 T was isolated from the San Elijo coastal lagoon near San
Diego. A whole genome-based phylogenetic comparison shows great heterogeneity within …
