Threats and Shifts in Microbial Communities of Salars Associated With Direct Lithium Extraction and Brine Reinjection. [PDF]
Glob ChallLithium for rechargeable batteries is increasingly extracted from brines in high‐Andean salars. Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies are promoted as sustainable alternatives to conventional evaporation ponds. This work explores how brine modification and reinjection may affect microbial communities and ecosystem functioning, highlighting the ...

Perspectives on the microorganism of extreme environments and their applications
Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2022 Extremophiles are organisms that can survive and thrive in conditions termed as “extreme” by human beings. Conventional methods cannot be applied under extreme conditions like temperature and pH fluctuations, high salinity, etc. for a variety of reasons.
