Hypersaline environments with salt concentrations up to NaCl saturation are inhabited by a
great diversity of microorganisms belonging to the three domains of life. They all must cope …

Fluctuations in environmental osmolarity are ubiquitous stress factors in many natural
habitats of microorganisms, as they inevitably trigger osmotically instigated fluxes of water …

Archaea are a domain of prokaryotic organisms with intriguing physiological characteristics
and ecological importance. In Microbial Biotechnology, archaea are historically …

Four mesophilic, neutrophilic, and aerobic marine ammonia-oxidizing archaea, designated
strains SCM1T, HCA1T, HCE1T and PS0T, were isolated from a tropical marine fish tank …

Pelagic microbes have adopted distinct strategies to inhabit the pelagial of lakes and
oceans and can be broadly categorized in two groups: free‐living, specialized oligotrophs …

Bacteria have evolved mechanisms that allow them to adapt to changes in osmolarity and
some species have adapted to live optimally in high salinity environments such as in the …

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) of the phylum Thaumarchaeota are widespread in
marine and terrestrial habitats, playing a major role in the global nitrogen cycle. However …

Thaumarchaeota (now the class Nitrososphaeria in the phylum Thermoproteota in GTDB
taxonomy) are abundant across marine and soil habitats; however, their genomic diversity …

This study explores a novel conversion of CO 2 into the chemicals hydroxyectoine and
