Novel chemolithotrophic and anoxygenic phototrophic genomes extracted from ice-covered boreal lakes
Although an important fraction of the world’s lakes remains ice-covered during a large pro22 portion of the year, little is known about the microorganisms that govern the biogeochemical processes occurring under-ice along the stratigraphic redox gradients. Reconstructed genomes 24 provide evidence for anoxygenic photosynthesis involving fixation of carbon using reduced sulphur and iron as an el...
متن کاملEcomorphological variability of Arthrospira fusiformis (Cyanoprokaryota) in African soda lakes
The filamentous spirally coiled cyanoprokaryote Arthrospira fusiformis is found in extremely high densities in tropical soda lakes acting as driving force of the food web. We studied pronounced temporal morphological changes of Arthrospira in Kenyan soda lakes, Nakuru and Bogoria, and identified underlying key factors. Cell (diameter and height) and filament (height of coil, coil diameter, and ...
متن کاملAdaptive strategies in the double-extremophilic prokaryotes inhabiting soda lakes.
Haloalkaliphiles are double extremophilic organisms thriving both at high salinity and alkaline pH. Although numerous haloalkaliphilic representatives have been identified among Archaea and Bacteria over the past 15 years, the adaptations underlying their prosperity at haloalkaline conditions are scarcely known. A multi-level adaptive strategy was proposed to occur in haloalkaliphilic organisms...
متن کاملSulfate-dependent acetate oxidation under extremely natron-alkaline conditions by syntrophic associations from hypersaline soda lakes.
So far, anaerobic sulfate-dependent acetate oxidation at high pH has only been demonstrated for a low-salt-tolerant syntrophic association of a clostridium 'Candidatus Contubernalis alkalaceticum' and its hydrogenotrophic sulfate-reducing partner Desulfonatronum cooperativum. Anaerobic enrichments at pH 10 inoculated with sediments from hypersaline soda lakes of the Kulunda Steppe (Altai, Russi...
متن کاملEctothiorhodospira variabilis sp. nov., an alkaliphilic and halophilic purple sulfur bacterium from soda lakes.
During studies of moderately halophilic strains of Ectothiorhodospira from steppe soda lakes, we found a novel group of bacteria related to Ectothiorhodospira haloalkaliphila with salt optima at 50-80 g NaCl l(-1). Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains from soda lakes in Mongolia, Egypt and Siberia revealed separation of the group of new isolates from other Ectothiorhod...
