Threats and Shifts in Microbial Communities of Salars Associated With Direct Lithium Extraction and Brine Reinjection

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
Lithium 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 ...

Halophilic & halotolerant prokaryotes in humans

open access: yes, 2018
International audienceHalophilic prokaryotes are described as microorganisms living in hypersaline environments. Here, we list the halotolerant and halophilic bacteria which have been isolated in humans. Of the 52 halophilic prokaryotes, 32 (61.54%) were

Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation of Saline Diesel Contaminated Water by a Novel Bacterial Halophilic Consortium

open access: yesJournal of Surfactants and Detergents, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 881-888, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of microorganisms is an evolving method for the degradation of hydrocarbon contaminants. In this aim, halophilic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were isolated from oil contaminated soil in Tunisia. A lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis SPB1 was tested to increase diesel biodegradation along with co‐inoculation with ...

Biotechnological potentials of halophilic microorganisms and their impact on mankind

open access: yesBeni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2022
Background Halophiles are extremophilic organisms represented by archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes that thrive in hypersaline environment. They apply different osmoadaptation strategies to survive in hostile conditions.

Functional genomic and advanced genetic studies reveal novel insights into the metabolism, regulation, and biology of Haloferax volcanii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The genome sequence of Haloferax volcanii is available and several comparative genomic in silico studies were performed that yielded novel insight for example into protein export, RNA modifications, small non-coding RNAs, and ubiquitin-like Small ...

Brine Pool Microbes Enrich Metalliferous Sediments in Salt Giant Basins

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract We report the discovery of an extinct deep‐sea brine pool in the Red Sea's Hume Deep, providing evidence that rift‐shoulder pools are ephemeral on millennial timescales, and that the microbially‐enriched metalliferous deposits produced during the pool's active phase persist into the stratigraphic record.

Expression, Folding, and Activation of Halophilic Alkaline Phosphatase in Non-Halophilic Brevibacillus choshinensis

open access: yes, 2019
Halophilic enzymes contain a large number of acidic amino acids and marginal large hydrophobic amino acids, which make them highly soluble even under strongly hydrophobic conditions.
