Assessment of anaerobic digestion of food waste at psychrophilic conditions and effluent post-treatment by microalgae cultivation
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of food waste (FW) has become of great interest in recent years due to the high organic removal rates and positive net energy balance. However, two key issues should be highlighted. On the one hand, ...
Surviving in hot and cold: psychrophiles and thermophiles from Deception Island volcano, Antarctica
(Springer, 2018-11-01)
Polar volcanoes harbor unique conditions of extreme temperature gradients capable of selecting different types of extremophiles. Deception Island is a marine stratovolcano located at Maritime Antarctica that is notable for ...
Diversity and extracellular enzymatic activities of yeasts isolated from King George Island, the sub-Antarctic region
(2012)
Background: Antarctica has been successfully colonized by microorganisms despite presenting adverse conditions for life such as low temperatures, high solar radiation, low nutrient availability and dryness. Although these ...
Yeast Activities Involved in Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles in Antarctica
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2019)
Antarctica and sub-Antarctic regions are characterized by extreme conditions for life such as low temperatures and nutrient availability, high solar irradiation, and dryness; however, microorganisms from the three domains ...
Diversity of culturable bacteria recovered from Pico Bolívar’s glacial and subglacial environments,at 4950 m,in Venezuelan tropical Andes
(CANADIAN SCIENCE PUBLISHING, 2016-06-15)
Even though tropical glaciers are retreating rapidly and many will disappear in the next few years,their microbial diversity remains to be studied in depth. In this paper we report on the biodiversity of the culturable ...
Cold-adapted enzymes produced by fungi from terrestrial and marine Antarctic environments
(2018-05-19)
Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and driest continent on Earth. In this sense, microorganisms that inhabit Antarctica environments have to be adapted to harsh conditions. Fungal strains affiliated with Ascomycota and ...
