Seasonal Fluctuations of the Seagrass Holobiont under Contrasting Environmental Conditions

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
(A) The inharmonious state of the Coorong and the different sample types collect with throughout this study. (B, C) Biofilm, including the presence of diatoms and bacteria, attached on the leaves of Ruppia. ABSTRACT Microbial communities are widely recognised as indicative of ecosystem health.

Probing Saltern Brines with an Oxygen Electrode: What Can We Learn about the Community Metabolism in Hypersaline Systems?

open access: yesLife, 2016
We have explored the use of optical oxygen electrodes to study oxygenic photosynthesis and heterotrophic activities in crystallizer brines of the salterns in Eilat, Israel.

Airborne Halophilic and Non‐Halophilic Microbial Communities in an Underground Salt Mine Affected by Seasonal Environmental Fluctuations

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while

Satellites in the prokaryote world [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background Satellites or tandem repeats are very abundant in many eukaryotic genomes. Occasionally they have been reported to be present in some prokaryotes, but to our knowledge there is no general comparative study on their occurrence.

Surviving salt fluctuations: stress and recovery in Halobacterium salinarum, an extreme halophilic Archaeon

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Halophilic proteins subjected to below about 15% salt in vitro denature through misfolding, aggregation and/or precipitation. Halobacteria, however, have been detected in environments of fluctuating salinity such as coastal salterns and even around fresh

A matter of salt: Global assessment of the effect of salt ionic composition as a driver of aquatic bacterial diversity

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract While the influence of salinity on microbial diversity is well documented in marine and brackish ecosystems, the impact of different dissolved inorganic ion types remains largely unexplored. In this study, we assessed how ionic composition shapes planktonic bacterial community structure in inland saline aquatic habitats, compared to the ...

Lipid composition of integral purple membrane by 1H and 31P NMR

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
In the purple membrane (PM) of halobacteria, lipids stabilize the trimeric arrangement of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) molecules and mediate the packing of the trimers in a regular crystalline arrangement.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Photoenergy transduction in halobacterium halobium [PDF]

open access: yes
The structure and function of a rhodopsin-like pigment bacteriorhodopsin, discovered and isolated from the membranes of the halophile Halobacterium halobium, were studied.
