    • Idris, Hamidah; Goodfellow, Michael; Sanderson, Roy; Asenjo de Leuze, Juan; Bull, Alan T. (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
      The Atacama Desert is the most extreme non-polar biome on Earth, the core region of which is considered to represent the dry limit for life and to be an analogue for Martian soils. This study focused on actinobacteria ...
    • Abdelkader, Mohamed S. A.; Philippon, Thomas; Asenjo de Leuze, Juan; Bull, Alan T.; Goodfellow, Michael; Ebel, Rainer; Jaspars, Marcel; Rateb, Mostafa E. (Japan Antibiotics Research Association, 2018)
      Bio-guided fractionation of the culture broth extract of Streptomyces asenjonii strain KNN 42.f recovered from an extreme hyper-arid Atacama Desert soil in northern Chile led to the isolation of three new bioactive ...
    • Castro, Jean; Nouioui, Imen; Sangal, Vartul; Trujillo, Martha; Montero-Calasanz, Maria del Carmen; Rahmani, Tara; Bull, Alan; Asenjo, Juan; Andrews, Barbara; Goodfellow, Michael (Elsevier GmbH, 2018)
      A polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the taxonomic status of three representative Geodermatophilus strains isolated from an extreme hyper-arid Atacama Desert soil. The strains, isolates B12T, B20 and B25, were ...
    • Bull, Alan T.; Idris, Hamidah; Sanderson, Roy; Asenjo, J.; Andrews Farrow, Bárbara; Goodfellow, Michael (Springer Japan KK, 2018)
      The data reported in this paper are among the first relating to the microbiology of hyper-arid, very high altitude deserts and they provide base line information on the structure of actinobacterial communities. The high ...
    • Carro, Lorena; Razmilic, Valeria; Nouioui, Imen; Richardson, Lee; Pan, Che; Golinska, Patrycja; Asenjo, Juan; Bull, Alan; Klenk, Hans; Goodfellow, Michael (Springer Netherlands, 2018)
      Innovative procedures were used to selectively isolate small numbers of Micromonospora strains from extreme hyper-arid and high altitude Atacama Desert soils. Micromonosporae were recognised on isolation plates by their ...
    • Bull, Alan; Andrews, Barbara; Dorador, Cristina; Goodfellow, Michael (Springer Netherlands, 2018)
      This brief introduction is intended to orientate the reader with respect to the principal environmental and historical features of the Atacama Desert, the oldest and continuously driest non-polar temperate desert on Earth. ...
    • Goodfellow, Michael; Busarakam, Kanungnid; Idris, Hamidah; Labeda, David P.; Nouioui, Imen; Brown, Roselyn; Kim, Byung Yong; Montero Calasanz, María del Carmen; Andrews Farrow, Bárbara; Bull, Alan T. (Springer, 2017)
      A polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the taxonomic status of Streptomyces strains isolated from hyper-arid Atacama Desert soils. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the isolates showed that they formed a ...
    • Bull, Alan T.; Asenjo de Leuze, Juan; Goodfellow, Michael; Gómez Silva, Benito (Annual Reviews, 2016)
      The Atacama Desert of northern Chile is the oldest and most arid non-polar environment on Earth. It is a coastal desert covering approximately 180,000 km(2), and together with the greater Atacama region it comprises a ...
    • Carro, Lorena; Castro, Jean Franco; Razmilic, Valeria; Nouioui, Imen; Pan, Che; Igual, José M.; Jaspars, Marcel; Goodfellow, Michael; Bull, Alan T.; Asenjo, Juan A.; Klenk, Hans Peter (Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
      The taxonomic status, biotechnological and ecological potential of several Micromonospora strains isolated from an extreme hyper arid Atacama Desert soil were determined. Initially, a polyphasic study was undertaken to ...
