The paper investigates mesophilic microorganisms in geothermal vents, finding they contribute critical metabolic functions despite low prevalence and inconsistent presence.

The paper isolates and characterizes cold-adapted bacterial copiotrophs from a Trans-Himalayan lake-desert ecosystem, showing their potential for biodegradation, climate feedback, and ecosystem protection.

This study identifies and characterizes co-existing blaNDM-1 and blaNDM-5 variants in E. coli isolates using Sanger sequencing and hybrid assembly, and develops a restriction digestion method to distinguish them.

The paper analyzes the microbial community of a Trans-Himalayan sulfur-borax spring, revealing Aquificae as dominant and highlighting their thermal adaptations and potential ecological roles.
