Isolation of UV-B resistant bacteria from two high altitude Andean lakes (4,400 m) with saline and non saline conditions
(Microbiology Research Foundation, 2009-12)
Laguna (L.) Negra and L. Verde are high altitude Andean lakes located at the 4,400 m altitude in the Andean desert (Puna) in the Argentine northwest. Both lakes are exposed to extreme weather conditions but differ in ...
Isolation of Bacteria from Remote High Altitude Andean Lakes Able to Grow in the Presence of Antibiotics
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2009-01)
High altitude Andean lakes are placed in Puna desert over 4400 above sea level. Completely isolated, they are exposed to extreme environmental factors like high levels of salinity, UV radiation and heavy metals and low ...
Extreme Microbiology at Laguna Socompa: A High-Altitude Andean Lake (3570 m a.s.l.) in Salta, Argentina
(Springer, 2020)
UV irradiation and the effect on microbial diversity and ecological impact was studied in Laguna Socompa, a hypersaline and moderate alkaline lake located at 3570 m a.s.l. at the base of the active Socompa volcano. The ...
First Report on the Plasmidome From a High-Altitude Lake of the Andean Puna
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020-06)
Mobile genetic elements, including plasmids, drive the evolution of prokaryotic genomes through the horizontal transfer of genes allowing genetic exchange between bacteria. Moreover, plasmids carry accessory genes, which ...
Forged under the Sun: Life and Art of Extremophiles from Andean Lakes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-01)
High-altitude Andean lakes (HAAL) are a treasure chest for microbiological research in South America. Their indigenous microbial communities are exposed to extremely high UV irradiation and to multiple chemical extremes ...
Bacterioplankton composition in tropical high elevation lakes of the Andean plateau
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
High-elevation lakes in the tropics are subject to extreme environmental fluctuations and microbes may harbor a unique genomic repertoire, but their composition and diversity are largely unknown. Here, we compared the ...

(Oxford University Press, 2018)
© FEMS 2018. High-elevation lakes in the tropics are subject to extreme environmental fluctuations and microbes may harbor a unique genomic repertoire, but their composition and diversity are largely unknown. Here, we ...
Geobiology of Andean microbial ecosystems discovered in Salar de Atacama, Chile
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021-10)
The Salar de Atacama in the Chilean Central Andes harbors unique microbial ecosystems due to extreme environmental conditions, such as high altitude, low oxygen pressure, high solar radiation, and high salinity. Combining ...
Carbon fixation and rhodopsin systems in microbial mats from hypersaline lakes Brava and Tebenquiche, Salar de Atacama, Chile
(Public Library of Science, 2021-02)
In this work, molecular diversity of two hypersaline microbial mats was compared by Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequencing of environmental DNA from the mats. Brava and Tebenquiche are lakes in the Salar de Atacama, Chile, ...
