Optimal growth temperature is not an adequate proxy of microbial cold adaptation

Abstract Microbial thermal adaptation is commonly characterized using the minimum (Tmin), optimum (Topt), and maximum (Tmax) temperatures that define the thermal growth range of microorganisms; with Topt been frequently used to compare microbial thermal characteristics. Although...

Prediction and Planning of Planting for Ecologically Suitable Areas of Cistanche deserticola Using MaxEnt

This study aimed to predict potentially suitable areas for Cistanche deserticola in China and to provide a scientific basis for its cultivation layout and production planning. Based on the MaxEnt algorithm and ArcGIS spatial analysis, two independent ecological niche models were...
