Strains CF4.4T and KK5.5T, previously isolated from samples of biocrust and permafrost, respectively, collected from Northern Greenland, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Both strains we...

Abstract. Isoprene, a highly reactive biogenic volatile organic compound (VOC) emitted by terrestrial vegetation, influences atmospheric chemistry but its

Abstract. The High Arctic deserts of remote northern Greenland are expected to become warmer and wetter due to climate change. Precipitation changes will i

“Custom-made” medium approach to effectively enrich and isolate the difficult-to-culture chemolithotrophic iron-oxidizing bacteria from the natural environ

Even in extreme environments, extremophiles need to communicate with each other, for which some use volatile organic compounds.

As the Arctic warms and heatwaves become more frequent, vegetation changes may alter the ecosystem. We investigated how warmer temperatures modulate Arctic shrub responses to heat wave and drought. A...

Imaging study reveals how fungal networks are constructed.

Eukaryotes are theorized to have originated from an archaeal phylum Promethearchaeota (formerly 'Asgard' archaea)1,2. The first cultured representatives revealed valuable insight3,4 but are distantly ...

Antarctic soils are unique from those found nearly anywhere else on Earth yet can still harbor a broad diversity of microorganisms able to tolerate the challenging conditions typical of the continent....

Abstract. Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (MVOCs) are diverse molecules produced by microorganisms, ranging from mere waste by-products to important s

The current “consensus” order in which amino acids were added to the genetic code is based on potentially biased criteria, such as the absence of s...

A Nature global survey finds that most specialists are unhappy with systems to provide science advice to policymakers.
