Desalination in the Canary Islands: an update

, 2001
The Canary Islands are subject to a continuous drought with average rainfall of about 300 mm per year. Therefore, water resources are scarce, and several islands depend strongly on sea and brackish water desalination.

Dilemma in Carotenoids Versus Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Synthesis Using Haloarchaea as Cell Factories

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Production of PHAs by haloarchaea: the production of carotenoids and PHAs is concomitant, and consequently, various metabolic pathways compete for the carbon source. This results in a loss of PHA production efficiency. Efficient control of carbon source utilization (favoring certain metabolic pathways at the expense of others) is the key to the ...
