    • A Combination of Extreme Environmental Conditions Favor the Prevalence of Endospore-Forming Firmicutes 
      Filippidou, Sevasti; Wunderlin, Tina; Junier, Thomas; Jeanneret, Nicole; Dorador, Cristina; Molina, Verónica; Johnson, David; Junier, Pilar (Frontiers Media, 2016)
      Environmental conditions unsuitable for microbial growth are the rule rather than the exception in most habitats. In response to this, microorganisms have developed various strategies to withstand environmental conditions ...
    • Aquatic thermal reservoirs of microbial life in a remote and extreme high andean hydrothermal system 
      Pérez, Vilma; Cortés, Johanna; Marchant, Francisca; Dorador, Cristina; Molina, Verónica; Cornejo-D'Ottone, Marcela; Hernández, Klaudia; Jeffrey, Wade; Barahona, Sergio; Hengst, Martha (MDPI, 2020)
      Hydrothermal systems are ideal to understand how microbial communities cope with challenging conditions. Lirima, our study site, is a polyextreme, high-altitude, hydrothermal ecosystem located in the Chilean Andean highlands. ...
    • Atacama Database: a platform of the microbiome of the Atacama Desert 
      Contador, Carolina A.; Veas Castillo, Luis; Tapia, Emilio; Antipán, Marcela; Miranda, Noemí; Ruiz Tagle, Benjamín; García Araya, Jonathan; Andrews, Barbara; Marín, Mauricio; Dorador, Cristina; Asenjo de Leuze, Juan (Springer, 2020)
      The Atacama Desert is one of the oldest and driest places on Earth. In the last decade, microbial richness and diversity has been acknowledged as an important biological resource of this region. Owing to the value of the ...
    • Bacterial communities associated with spherical Nostoc macrocolonies 
      Aguilar, Pablo; Dorador, Cristina; Vila Pinto, Irma; Sommaruga, Ruben (Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
      Copyright © 2019 Aguilar, Dorador, Vila and Sommaruga.Species of the genus Nostoc (Cyanobacteria) can form large colonies of up to several centimeters in diameter that may represent a unique habitat for bacteria in ...
    • Bacterioplankton composition in tropical high elevation lakes of the Andean plateau 
      Aguilar, Pablo; Dorador, Cristina; Vila Pinto, Irma; Sommaruga, Ruben (Oxford University Press, 2018)
      High-elevation lakes in the tropics are subject to extreme environmental fluctuations and microbes may harbor a unique genomic repertoire, but their composition and diversity are largely unknown. Here, we compared the ...
    • Geologic and anthropogenic sources of contamination in settled dust of a historic mining port city in ... 
      Tapia, Joseline S.; Valdes, Jorge; Orrego, Rodrigo; Tchernitchin, Andrei; Dorador, Cristina; Bolados, Aliro; Harrod, Chris (Peerj INC, 2018)
      Chile is the leading producer of copper worldwide and its richest mineral deposits are found in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile. Mining activities have significantly increased income and employment in the region; ...
    • Introducing the Atacama Desert 
      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. ...
    • Large Differences in Bacterial Community Composition among Three Nearby Extreme Waterbodies of the High ... 
      Aguilar, Pablo; Scota, Eduardo; Dorador, Cristina; Sommaruga, Rubén (Frontiers Media, 2016)
      The high Andean plateau or Altiplano contains different waterbodies that are subjected to extreme fluctuations in abiotic conditions on a daily and an annual scale. The bacterial diversity and community composition of those ...
