Quickly identifying and characterizing isolates from extreme environments is currently
challenging while very important to explore the Earth′ s biodiversity. As these isolates may …

Effects of nitrogen (N) deposition on microbially-driven processes in oligotrophic freshwater
ecosystems are poorly understood. We quantified guilds in the main N-transformation …

Freshwater reservoirs emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane (CH4) and carbon
dioxide (CO2), contributing to global warming, mainly when impacted by untreated sewage …

Nitrification inhibitors are essential in agricultural and environmental production practices.
They play a crucial role in promoting agricultural and environmental sustainability by …

Copper (Cu)-contaminated paddy soil has caused substantial concerns for human health
through biomagnification in the soil–rice–human chain. In this study, oxygen nanobubble …

Abyssal microbes drive biogeochemical cycles, regulate fluxes of energy and contribute to
organic carbon production and remineralization. Therefore, characterizing the spatial …

In 2019, the Atacama Rover Astrobiology Drilling Studies (ARADS) project field-tested an
autonomous rover-mounted robotic drill prototype for a 6-Sol life detection mission to Mars …

Climate change is driving dramatic variability in sea ice dynamics, a key driver in polar
marine ecosystems. Projected changes in Antarctica suggest that regional warming will …

One of the main objectives for astrobiology is to unravel and explore the habitability of
environments beyond Earth, paying special attention to Mars. If the combined environmental …

Aquatic N-fixation is generally associated with the growth and mass development of
Cyanobacteria in nitrogen-deprived photic zones. However, sequenced genomes and …
