Adapting to UV: Integrative Genomic and Structural Analysis in Bacteria from Chilean Extreme Environments
Extremophilic bacteria from extreme environments, such as the Atacama Desert, Salar de Huasco, and Antarctica, exhibit adaptations to intense UV radiation. In this study, we investigated the genomic and structural […]

A Metagenome From a Steam Vent in Los Azufres Geothermal Field Shows an Abundance of Thermoplasmatales Archaea and Bacteria from the Phyla Actinomycetota and Pseudomonadota
Los Azufres National Park is a geothermal field that has a wide number of thermal manifestations; nevertheless, the microbial communities in many of these environments remain unknown.
