Abstract:Exiguobacteriumsp. S17, a polyextremophile isolated from modern stromatolites in a High-Altitude Andean Lake, exhibits a remarkable multi-resistance profile against toxic arsenic concentrations, high levels of UV radiation (UV), and elevated salinity. Here, we perform a comprehensive characterization of the mechanisms underlying the UV resistance of S17 (UV-resistome/UVres) through comparative genomics within theExiguobacteriumgenus. Additionally, we describe the morphological and ultrastructural changes in th… Show more
