Life Under a Spanish Red River part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This magazine article introduces the Rio Tinto - a polluted, acidic river in Spain - and its significance in the Mars Analog Research and Technology Experiment (MARTE). As part of NASA�s search ...
From Genes to Genomes: Beyond Biodiversity in Spain's Rio Tinto part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This journal article reports the unexpectedly high eukaryotic phylogenetic diversity in Spain's Rio Tinto. Microbes of the Rio Tinto must be both acidophilic and tolerant of heavy metals to ...
Acidophiles of saline water at thermal vents of Vulcano, Italy part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This scientific paper describes the microbial community composition of samples collected from acidic hydrothermal vents on the Aeolian Island of Vulcano (Italy). The authors review the environmental ...
Picrophilus gen. nov., fam. nov.: a novel aerobic, heterotrophic, thermoacidophilic genus and family comprising archaea capable of growth around pH 0. part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This scientific paper reports the discovery of two novel species of a genus of thermophilic, heterotrophic, aerobic archaea that grow under extremely acidic conditions. These species were isolated ...
An Archaeal Iron-Oxidizing Extreme Acidophile Important in Acid Mine Drainage part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This scientific paper describes the isolation, identification and physiology a new species of iron-oxidizing Archaea capable of growth at pH 0. This species was isolated from an acid mine drainage ...
Genome sequence of Picrophilus torridus and its implications for life around pH 0. part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This scientific paper describes the Picrophilaceae, which are the most acidophilic organisms known and amazingly, are able to grow at negative pH values. The authors deduce several features that may ...
Bangor Acidophile Research Team (BART), University of Wales. part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This website is operated by the Bangor Acidophile Research Team (BART), which is based in the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) at the University of Wales. The group studies extremophiles, with a ...
Microbiology of acidic, geothermal springs of Montserrat: environmental rDNA analysis. part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This scientific paper describes the microbial diversity found in water and sediment samples taken from acidic, geothermal pools on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. Sampling sites included low-, ...
Growth in sulfidic mineral environments: metal resistance mechanisms in acidophilic micro-organisms part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This scientific review paper summarizes the knowledge of acidophile metal resistance, which allows acidophiles to survive in acidic metal-rich environments, such as areas affected by acid mine ...
Geobiology of a microbial endolithic community in the Yellowstone geothermal environment part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This Letters to Nature scholarly article presents findings from a study done at Yellowstone's Norris Geyser Basin, the purpose of which was to characterize the endolithic microbial community in ...
