We used comparative genomics and temperature growth experiments of bacteria from the family Colwelliaceae to identify genomic factors correlated with optimal growth temperature (OGT). A phylogenomic analysis of 67 public and 39 newly sequenced strains revealed three main clades of Colwelliaceae. Temperature growth experiments revealed significant differences in mean OGT by clade, wherein strains of Colwelliaceae had similar growth rates at -1 °C but varied in their ability to tolerate 17 °C. Using amino acid compositional indices, a multiple linear regression model was constructed to predict the OGT of these organisms (RMSE 5.2 °C). Investigation of Colwelliaceae functional genes revealed a putative cold-adaptive gene cassette that was present in psychrophilic strains but absent in a closely related strain with a significantly higher OGT. This study also presents genomic evidence suggesting that the clade of Colwelliaceae containing Colwellia hornerae should be investigated as a new genus.

Due to its moderate growth rate in axenic culture and available protocols for its transformation and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, K. petricola is used for studying the morpho-physiological adaptations shared by extremophilic and extremotolerant black fungi. In this study, the bacteria-derived tetracycline (TET)-dependent promoter (Tet-on) system was implemented to enable controllable gene expression in K. petricola.

The obtained results have shown that despite different geographical areas, climatic conditions, and also physical features of colonized gypsum outcrops, both of these sites have remarkably similar microbial and pigment compositions. Cyanobacteria dominate both of the gypsum habitats, followed by Chloroflexi and Pseudomonadota.

Interestingly, no Gloeobacteraceae sequences have been found in Poland, only in Israel. Some of the obtained 16S rRNA gene sequences of cyanobacteria matched previously detected sequences from endolithic communities in various substrates and geographical regions, supporting the hypothesis of global metacommunity, but more data are still needed. Using Raman spectroscopy, cyanobacterial UV-screening pigments-scytonemin and gloeocapsin have been detected alongside carotenoids, chlorophyll a and melanin.
