A genome-resolved cyanobacterial consortium from the Atacama Desert reveals novel bacterial diversity, stress-resilience potential, chromatic flexibility, and photoprotection
The Atacama Desert is one of the most extreme terrestrial environments on Earth, characterized by hyper-aridity, intense solar and ultraviolet radiation, oxidative stress, and metal-rich substrates. Here, we characterized an enriched cyanobacteria-associated consortium obtained from a high-altitude, river-influenced...
