Important findings from the second decade of the 21st century on the impact of
environmental change on biological processes in the Antarctic were synthesised by 26 …

Approximately 80% of the Earth's biosphere is cold, at an average temperature of 5° C, and
is populated by a diversity of microorganisms that are a precious source of molecules with …

Background One of the main challenges in metagenomics is the identification of
microorganisms in clinical and environmental samples. While an extensive and …

Global warming in ocean ecosystems alters temperature, acidification, oxygen content,
circulation, stratification, and nutrient inputs. Microorganisms play a dominant role in global …

The third edition of this bestselling text has been rigorously updated to reflect major new
discoveries and concepts since 2011, especially progress due to extensive application of …

Abstract Background The Arctic and Antarctic are the two most geographically distant
bioregions on earth. Recent sampling efforts and following metagenomics have shed light …

The microorganisms that evolved at low temperatures express cold-adapted enzymes
endowed with unique catalytic properties in comparison to their mesophilic homologues, ie …

Understanding the motility behavior of bacteria in confining microenvironments, in which
they search for available physical space and move in response to stimuli, is important for …

Background The backbone of the eukaryotic tree of life contains taxa only found in molecular
surveys, of which we still have a limited understanding. Such is the case of Picozoa, an …

The Arctic and Antarctic regions constitute 14% of the total biosphere. Although they differ in
their physiographic characteristics, both are strongly affected by snow and ice cover …
