Microbial oddities such as versatile pigments are gaining more attention in current research
due to their widely perceived applications as natural food colorants, textiles, antimicrobial …

Over the past few years, a new and ecophysiologically unusual group of marine
hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria–the obligate hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (OHCB)–has …

Once in the ocean, plastics are rapidly colonized by complex microbial communities. Factors
affecting the development and composition of these communities are still poorly understood …

Recent results continue to show the general consensus that ozone-related increases in UV-
B radiation can negatively influence many aquatic species and aquatic ecosystems (eg …

Pigments are an essential part of everyday life on Earth with rapidly growing industrial and
biomedical applications. Synthetic pigments account for a major portion of these pigments …

Microbial pigments play multiple roles in the ecosystem construction, survival, and fitness of
all kinds of organisms. Considerably, microbial (bacteria, fungi, yeast, and microalgae) …

Bacterial strains isolated from Antarctic environments were used to assess the role of
carotenoid pigments as cryo-and solar radiation protectants. Isolates were subjected to one …

This work constitutes the first large report on aerobic cultivable microorganisms present in
cloud water. Seven cloud-event samples were collected at the Puy de Dôme summit, and …

The Microbacterium sp. LEMMJ01 isolated from Antarctic soil does not belong to any of the
nearest species identified in the RDP database. Under UV radiation (A, B and C …

Photobiomodulation (PBM) consists of a photon energy transfer to the cell, employing non-
ionizing light sources belonging to the visible and infrared spectrum. PBM acts on some …
