Characterization of Halorubrum sfaxense sp. nov., a New Halophilic Archaeon Isolated from the Solar Saltern of Sfax in Tunisia

International Journal of Microbiology, 2011
An extremely halophilic archaeon, strain ETD6, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Sfax, Tunisia. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the isolate was phylogenetically related to species of the genus Halorubrum among the family ...

Revegetation on abandoned salt ponds relieves the seasonal fluctuation of soil microbiomes

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Salt pond restoration aims to recover the environmental damages that accumulated over the long history of salt production. Of the restoration strategies, phytoremediation that utilizes salt-tolerant plants and soil microorganisms to reduce the

Microbial communities of the Mediterranean rocky shore: ecology and biotechnological potential of the sea‐land transition

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 1359-1370, November 2019., 2019
Microbial communities from harsh environments hold great promise as sources of biotechnologically‐relevant strains and compounds. In the present work, we have characterized the microorganisms from the supralittoral and splash zone in three different rocky locations of the Western Mediterranean coast, a tough environment characterised by high levels of ...

Metabolic Engineered Biocatalyst: A Solution for PLA Based Problems

International Journal of Biomaterials, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester. In 2010, PLA became the second highest consumed bioplastic in the world due to its wide application. Conventionally, PLA is produced by direct condensation of lactic acid monomer and ring opening polymerization of lactide, resulting in lower molecular weight and lesser strength of ...

Diversity and Niche of Archaea in Bioremediation

Archaea, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms for the degradation or removal of contaminants. Most bioremediation research has focused on processes performed by the domain Bacteria; however, Archaea are known to play important roles in many situations.

The Deep-Sea Microbial Community from the Amazonian Basin Associated with Oil Degradation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
One consequence of oil production is the possibility of unplanned accidental oil spills; therefore, it is important to evaluate the potential of indigenous microorganisms (both prokaryotes and eukaryotes) from different oceanic basins to degrade oil. The

Unusually High Archaeal Diversity in a Crystallizer Pond, Pomorie Salterns, Bulgaria, Revealed by Phylogenetic Analysis

Archaea, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Recent studies on archaeal diversity in few salterns have revealed heterogeneity between sites and unique structures of separate places that hinder drawing of generalized conclusions. Investigations on the archaeal community composition in P18, the biggest crystallizer pond in Pomorie salterns (PS) (34% salinity), demonstrated unusually high number of ...

Microbial Communities in Sediments From Four Mildly Acidic Ephemeral Salt Lakes in the Yilgarn Craton (Australia) – Terrestrial Analogs to Ancient Mars

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The Yilgarn Craton in Australia has a large number of naturally occurring shallow ephemeral lakes underlain by a dendritic system of paleodrainage channels.

Archaeal Communities in a Heterogeneous Hypersaline‐Alkaline Soil

Archaea, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
In this study the archaeal communities in extreme saline‐alkaline soils of the former lake Texcoco, Mexico, with electrolytic conductivities (EC) ranging from 0.7 to 157.2 dS/m and pH from 8.5 to 10.5 were explored. Archaeal communities in the 0.7 dS/m pH 8.5 soil had the lowest alpha diversity values and were dominated by a limited number of ...
