(author), Galinski, Erwin A. (author), Koonin, Eugene V. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)Methanogenic enrichments from hypersaline lakes at moderate thermophilic conditions have resulted in the cultivation of an unknown deep lineage of euryarchaeota related to the class Halobacteria. Eleven soda lake isolates and three salt lake enrichment cultures were methyl-reducing methanogens that utilize C<sub>1</sub> methylated compounds...journal article 2018

(author), Ciordia, Sergio (author), Mena, María Carmen (author), Merkel, Alexander Y. (author), Wolf, Yuri I. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Koonin, Eugene V. (author)Methanogenic archaea are major players in the global carbon cycle and in the biotechnology of anaerobic digestion. The phylum Euryarchaeota includes diverse groups of methanogens that are interspersed with non-methanogenic lineages. So far, methanogens inhabiting hypersaline environments have been identified only within the order...journal article 2017

(author), McMillan, D.G.G. (author)The aerobic thermoalkaliphile Caldalkalibacillus thermarum strain TA2.A1 is a member of a separate order of alkaliphilic bacteria closely related to the Bacillales order. Efforts to relate the genomic information of this evolutionary ancient organism to environmental adaptation have been thwarted by the inability to construct a complete...journal article 2020

Corbera Rubio, F. (author), Stouten, G.R. (author), Bruins, Jantinus (author), Dost, Simon F. (author), Merkel, Alexander Y. (author), Müller, S. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), van Halem, D. (author), Laureni, M. (author)Nitrate leaching from agricultural soils is increasingly found in groundwater, a primary source of drinking water worldwide. This nitrate influx can potentially stimulate the biological oxidation of iron in anoxic groundwater reservoirs. Nitrate-dependent iron-oxidizing (NDFO) bacteria have been extensively studied in laboratory settings, yet...journal article 2024
