Photosynthetic and Genetic Adaptations Underpinning the Resilience of Cistanthe longiscapa in the Atacama Desert

This preprint investigates physiological and genomic adaptations that allow Cistanthe longiscapa to survive in the Atacama Desert. The study links photosynthetic performance, CAM-related signals, genome features, and stress-response gene family …

A new genome of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans provides insights into adaptation to a bioleaching environment

Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans is a sulfur oxidizing acidophilic bacterium found in many sulfur-rich environments. It is particularly interesting due to its role in bioleaching of sulphide minerals. In this work, we report the genome sequence of At. …
