Extremophiles provide a one-of-a-kind source of enzymes with properties that allow them to
endure the rigorous industrial conversion of lignocellulose biomass into fermentable sugars …

We have performed a characterization of cultivated haloalkalitolerant fungi from the
sediments of Big Tambukan Lake in order to assess their biodiversity and antimicrobial …

Beta-glucosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds of cellobiose, producing
glucose, which is a rate-limiting step in cellulose biomass degradation. In industrial …

Sequential anaerobic/aerobic (A/O) treatment conditions for textile wastewater (WW) are
more effective than conventional biological treatment. Anaerobic treatment is essential …

Abstract Big Soda Lake, Nevada, is a multi‐extreme meromictic lake, whose hypersaline
hyperalkaline bottom waters feature permanent anoxia and high concentrations of arsenic …

The study of alkali-resistant fungi has been carried out for the first time on the coast of saline
lakes in the south of the Trans-Baikal region on the territory of the Daursky Biosphere …

Background Soda pans are unique, natural aquatic environments characterised by elevated
