Thermal swamps are unique ecosystems where geothermally warmed waters mix with
decomposing woody biomass, hosting novel biogeochemical-cycling and lignin-degrading …

Sporulation is a specialized developmental program employed by a diverse set of bacteria
which culminates in the formation of dormant cells displaying increased resilience to stressors…

Although the phylum Chloroflexota is ubiquitous, its biology and evolution are poorly understood
due to limited cultivability. Here, we isolated two motile, thermophilic bacteria from hot …

Endospore formation is used by members of the phylum Firmicutes to withstand extreme
environmental conditions. Several recent studies have proposed endospore formation in …

Steryl esters (SEs) are important storage compounds in many eukaryotes and are often
prominent components of intracellular lipid droplets. Here, we demonstrate that selected Actino- …

Dehalococcoides mccartyi (Dhc) and Dehalogenimonas spp. (Dhgm) are members of the
class Dehalococcoidia, phylum Chloroflexi, characterized by streamlined genomes and a strict …

The presence of a cell membrane is one of the major structural components defining life.
Recent phylogenomic analyses have supported the hypothesis that the last universal common …

A rod-shaped, motile anaerobic bacterium, designated CCRI-22567 T , was isolated from a
vaginal sample of a woman diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis and subjected to a …

Research for outer membrane marker proteins in strains CCRI-22567T and CCRI-24246: The
genomes of strains CCRI-22567T and CCRI-24246 were assessed for genes encoding 17 …

Rapidly growing technological advances in big data, cloud computing, social media, artificial
intelligence, virtual reality and digital media have led many educators to embark upon the …
