Archaeal diversity in the Dead Sea: Microbial survival under increasingly harsh conditions [PDF]
, 2009 The Dead Sea is rapidly drying out. The lake is supersaturated with NaCl, and precipitated of halite from the water column has led to a decrease in sodium content, while concentrations of magnesium and calcium greatly increased, making the lake an ever ...

Microbiology, 1989 SUMMARY: Halobacterium cutirubrum was cultured in a complex medium designed for extreme halophiles containing 4 M-NaCl in the absence or presence of bacitracin (7, 14 or 28 μM) with shaking at 37°C for 24 h. Bacitracin at 7 or 14 μM inhibited growth (50% and 100%, respectively), phospholipid synthesis (88% and 96%, respectively) and bacterioruberin ...

Long-term mesocosm simulation of algal and archaeal blooms in the Dead Sea following dilution with Red Sea water [PDF]
, 2009 To understand the factors that determine the extent of blooms of the unicellular green alga Dunaliella and halophilic Archaea in the Dead Sea, and to predict the possible effects of the planned conveyance of Red Sea water to the Dead Sea, we performed ...
