Importance of extremophilic microorganisms in biogeochemical cycles

Abstract: Extremophilic microorganisms are organisms capable of proliferating under extreme conditions that are generally detrimental to most life on Earth. They are organisms considered of importance in different areas of research, due to their ability to produce proteins and enzymes under inhospitable conditions. Therefore, in the present work, the information on their participation in the processes of biogeochemical cycles was collected and analyzed in order to demonstrate their ecological importance. Recent studies … Show more

“…Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are one of the main microorganisms that influence the sulfur cycle; they use this inorganic element to form organic compounds (assimilation, energy-dependent process) and to produce energy (dissimilar sulfur metabolism). They are essential processes for the global sulfur cycle (González & Pérez, 2021). Most of the known Sulfur oxidising bacteria (SOB) belongs to the genera Thiobacillus, Thiothrix, Thiomicrospira, Achromatium, and Desulfuromonas (Behera et al 2014).…”

“…In this process, the energy generated from sulfur oxidation is used by aerobic chemoautotrophs for carbon dioxide fixation, while the electrons derived from the reduced sulfur compounds are used by anoxygenic photoautotrophs for carbon dioxide reduction (Luo et al 2018). Sulfur-oxidation bacteria are the most active and ancient metabolic processes in sulfur cycle that operate in diverse ecosystems and considered as key phenomenon in sulfur biogeochemical cycling (González & Pérez, 2021;Kumar et al 2018). Usually, on the basis of nutrition, SOB is categorized as lithoautotrophs.…”
