Soil extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) stoichiometry reflects the dynamic balance between
microorganism metabolic demands for resources and nutrient availability. However …

Arid ecosystems are characterized by stressful conditions of low energy and nutrient
availability for soil microorganisms. It has been observed that the ecoenzymes needed for …

Whether terrestrial life can withstand the martian environment is of paramount interest for
planetary protection measures and space exploration. To understand microbial survival …

Microorganisms inhabiting gypsum have been observed in environments that differ greatly
in water availability. Gypsum colonized by microorganisms, including cyanobacteria …

Phosphorus (P) plays a fundamental role in the physiology and biochemistry of all living
things. Recent evidence indicates that organisms in the oceans can break down and use P …

Los ecosistemas áridos y semiáridos constituyen un tercio de la superficie terrestre global y
un 60% del territorio mexicano, pero poco se sabe sobre su importancia en el ciclo del …

Barriers to microbial migrations can lead adaptive radiations and increased endemism. We
propose that extreme unbalanced nutrient stoichiometry of essential nutrients can be a …

Due to the environmental conditions presented in arid zones, it is expected to have a high
influence of deterministic processes over the community assemblages. Symbiotic …

Microbial mats are biologically diverse communities that are analogs to some of the earliest
ecosystems on Earth. In this study, we describe a unique transiently hypersaline microbial …

The relationship between plants and the different types of rocks has been known at least
since the sixteenth century when Caesalpino linked the existence of the endemic Alyssum …
