This study delves into multifaceted potential of carotenoids extracted from Haloferax larsenii NCIM 5678 previously isolated from Pachpadra Salt Lake in Rajasthan, India. H. larsenii NCIM 5678 was able to grow up to OD600 1.77 ± 0.03 with carotenoid concentration, 3.3 ± 0.03 µg/ml. The spectrophotometric analysis of carotenoid extract indicated the presence of three-fingered peak (460, 490 and 520 nm) which is a characteristic feature of bacterioruberin and its derivatives. The bacterioruberin was purified using silica gel column chromatography and thin layer chromatography. The carotenoid extract showed 12.3 ± 0.09 mm zone of growth inhibition with a minimum inhibitory concentration 546 ng/ml against indicator strain, H. larsenii HA4. The percentage antioxidant activity of carotenoid was found to be 84% which was higher as compared to commercially available ascorbic acid (56.74%). Thus, carotenoid extract from H. larsenii NCIM 5678 possesses unique attributes with compelling evidence of antimicrobial and antioxidant potential for the development of novel pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.","PeriodicalId":12302,"journal":{"name":"Extremophiles","volume":"28 3","pages":"33"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141733917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results suggested that although TPH1 experienced increased growth inhibition, ROS production, protein oxidation and membrane disruption after 4 h of incubation at 45 °C yet maintained its DNA integrity and cellular structure through the increased expression of DNA damage repair and cell envelop synthesizing proteins and also progressively alleviated growth inhibition by 20% within two hours i.e., 6 h, by inducing the expression of antioxidative enzymes, production of unsaturated fatty acids, capsular and released exopolysaccharides and forming biofilm along with chemotaxis proteins.

However, the presence of photosynthetic microbial mats adjacent to boiling hot spring vents, where fluid temperatures extend beyond photosynthetic capability, questions the microbial profiles and the actual temperatures of such adjacent mats. Therefore, this study aims to characterize thermophilic microbial communities at Pong Dueat Pa Pae hot spring using next-generation sequencing, including investigating hot spring mineralogy. Results suggest that Pong Dueat Pa Pae hot spring precipitates comprise mainly silica which also acts as the main preservative medium for microbial permineralization. Molecular results revealed the presence of cyanobacterial and Chloroflexi species in the thick, orange and green subaerial mats surrounding the vents, suggesting the mats would be at least 30 °C cooler than source vents despite constantly receiving geyser splashes. Bacterial abundance was considerably higher than archaeal (97.9% versus 2.1%). Cyanobacterial (mainly Synechococcus and Leptolygbya) and Chloroflexi species (mainly Roseiflexus) accounted for almost half (40.04%) of the bacterial community, while DHVEG-6 and Thaumarchaeota comprised dominant members (> 90%) of the archaeal fraction.

Many reported alginate lyases show characteristics of cold-adapted enzymes, including relatively low temperature optimum of activities (Topt) and low thermal stabilities. However, the cold-adaption mechanisms of alginate lyases remain unclear. Here, we studied the cold-adaptation mechanisms of alginate lyases by comparing four members of the PL7 family from different environments: AlyC3 from the Arctic ocean (Psychromonas sp. C-3), AlyA1 from the temperate ocean (Zobellia galactanivorans), PA1167 from the human pathogen (Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1), and AlyQ from the tropic ocean (Persicobacter sp. CCB-QB2). Sequence comparison and comparative molecular dynamics (MD) simulations revealed two main strategies of cold adaptation. First, the Arctic AlyC3 and temperate AlyA1 increased the flexibility of the loops close to the catalytic center by introducing insertions at these loops. Second, the Arctic AlyC3 increased the electrostatic attractions with the negatively charged substrate by introducing a high portion of positively charged lysine at three of the insertions mentioned above. Furthermore, our study also revealed that the root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) increased greatly when the temperature was increased to Topt or higher, suggesting the RMSF increase temperature as a potential indicator of the cold adaptation level of the PL7 family. This study provided new insights into the cold-adaptation mechanisms of bacterial alginate lyases and the marine carbon cycling at low temperatures.","PeriodicalId":12302,"journal":{"name":"Extremophiles","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140584384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Penicillium sp., Pseudogymnoascus pannorum, Coniochaeta sp., Aspergillus sp., Antarctomyces sp., Phenoliferia sp., Cryolevonia sp., Camptobasidiaceae sp., Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Bannozyma yamatoana were assessed as abundant taxa. The snow fungal diversity indices were high but varied across the different locations sampled. Of the fungal ASVs detected, only 28 were present all sampling locations. The 116 fungal genera detected in the snow were dominated by saprotrophic taxa, followed by symbiotrophic and pathotrophic. Our data indicate that, despite the low temperature and oligotrophic conditions, snow can host a richer mycobiome than previously reported through traditional culturing studies. The snow mycobiome includes a complex diversity dominated by cosmopolitan, cold-adapted, psychrophilic and endemic taxa. While saprophytes dominate this community, a range of other functional groups are present.","PeriodicalId":12302,"journal":{"name":"Extremophiles","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140584342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
