Genes for toxin-antitoxin (TA) complexes are widespread in prokaryote genomes, and
species frequently possess tens of plasmid and chromosomal TA loci. The complexes are …

The PIN-domains are small proteins of∼ 130 amino acids that are found in bacteria,
archaea and eukaryotes and are defined by a group of three strictly conserved acidic amino …

Eukaryotic PIN (PilT N-terminal) domain proteins are ribonucleases involved in quality
control, metabolism and maturation of mRNA and rRNA. The majority of prokaryotic PIN …

Thermophiles are referred to as microorganisms with optimal growth temperatures of> 60°
C. Over the past few years, a number of studies have been conducted regarding …

The genomes of two Sulfolobus islandicus strains obtained from Icelandic solfataras were
sequenced and analyzed. Strain REY15A is a host for a versatile genetic toolbox. It exhibits …

Thermoacidophilic archaea belonging to the order Sulfolobales thrive in extreme biotopes,
such as sulfuric hot springs and ore deposits. These microorganisms have been model …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a microbial process degrading ample methane in
anoxic environments, and Ca. Methanoperedens mediated nitrate‐or metal‐reduction linked …

Many petroleum-polluted areas are considered as extreme environments because of co-
occurrence of low and high temperatures, high salt, and acidic and anaerobic conditions …

Persister cells are phenotypic variants within a microbial population, which are dormant and
transiently tolerant to stress. Persistence has been studied extensively in bacteria, and in …

Elevated temperatures favor bioleaching processes through faster kinetics, more favorable
mineral chemistry, lower cooling requirements, and less surface passivation. Extremely …
