An identity card for sabkha dolomite
An ‘identity card’ for modern sabkha dolomite from Qatar reveals its mineralogical, geochemical and microbial characteristics. This integrated dataset provides a benchmark for recognising similar dolomites in the rock record and for calibrating paleoenvironmental proxies used in climate and biosignature studies.

This work presents the physiological exploration of the halo‐alkaliphilic, carboxydotrophic acetogen bacterium MD4. In contrast to well‐characterised neutrophilic and slightly acidophilic acetogenic carboxydotrophs, this work shows an important role for formate production, instead of ethanol, as a redox exhaust mechanism in alkaline conditions ...

Molecular ecology of extremely halophilic Archaea and Bacteria [PDF]
Abstract Water bodies with NaCl concentrations approaching saturation are often populated by dense microbial communities. Red halophilic Archaea of the family Halobacteriaceae dominate in such environments. The application of molecular biological techniques, in particular the use of approaches based on the characterization of ribosomal RNA sequences ...

Conserved substitution patterns around nucleosome footprints in eukaryotes and Archaea derive from frequent nucleosome repositioning through evolution. [PDF]
Nucleosomes, the basic repeat units of eukaryotic chromatin, have been suggested to influence the evolution of eukaryotic genomes, both by altering the propensity of DNA to mutate and by selection acting to maintain or exclude nucleosomes in particular ...

Extreme Salinity Change Governs Microbial Community Assembly and Interactions
Along the Coorong Lagoon's extreme salinity gradient, hypersalinity deterministically enriches halophilic specialists and reorganises sediment microbial networks. Network complexity peaks at salinity extremes, revealing pivotal ecological trade‐offs that will steer nutrient cycling and lagoon resilience as coastal wetland salinisation accelerates ...

The influence of microbial communities on the corrosion of carbon steel in seawater from the Brazilian Atlantic Coast was investigated. Seawater location, conditions, and storage time strongly impact species composition. Electrochemical and morphological analyses revealed differences in the deterioration of carbon steel depending on the microbial ...

Bacterial and archaeal aerobic communities were recovered from sediments from the shallow El-Djerid salt lake in Tunisia, and their salinity gradient distribution was established. Six samples for physicochemical and microbiological analyses were obtained

A meta-analysis of the publicly available bacterial and archaeal sequence diversity in saline soils [PDF]
An integrated view of bacterial and archaeal diversity in saline soil habitats is essential for understanding the biological and ecological processes and exploiting potential of microbial resources from such environments.

Abstract The Strathpeffer–Struie Lower Devonian LORS (Lower Old Red Sandstone) deposits of the Northern Highlands of Scotland contain the decidedly unusual ‘foetid beds’. These are interpreted as being deposited in a highly saline sulphate lake and associated playa mudflat, which developed in an intermontane basin in the Caledonian Mountains of ...
