Halotolerant Ability and α-Amylase Activity of Some Saltwater Fungal Isolates [PDF]

, 2013
Four halotolerant fungal isolates originating from the saltwater Lake Urmia in Iran were selected during a screening program for salt resistance and α-amylase activity. The isolates were identified based on sequencing the ITS region and a part of the β-

Characterization of eukaryotic microbial diversity in hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia. [PDF]

, 2013
This study describes the community structure of the microbial eukaryotic community from hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia, using near full length 18S rRNA sequences. Water samples were taken in both summer and winter over a 4-year period. The extent of

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Synergistic Effects of Salinization and Artificial Root Exudates on Soil Phosphatase Activity in Coastal Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coastal soil salinization from rising seawater levels has adverse impacts on soil function, seed germination, and plant growth. Root exudates play a key role in supporting microbial activity, nutrient cycling, and plant health, yet little is known about the combined effects of salinization and the addition of artificial root exudates (AREs) on

S‐Adenosylmethionine (SAM) hydrolases counter increased SAM epimerisation in thermophilic archaea

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
S‐Adenosyl‐l‐methionine (SAM) is a vital enzyme cofactor. Epimerisation at the sulfonium centre of biologically active (SS,SCα)‐SAM is driven by heat, yielding biologically inactive (RS,SCα)‐SAM. Here, two novel archaeal SAM hydrolases from the thermophilic Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and the halophilic Haloferax volcanii are shown to cleave (RS,SCα)‐SAM.

Hidden Fungal Diversity of the Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Corallium rubrum

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study reveals diverse cultivable fungi associated with the red coral Corallium rubrum, highlighting both potentially beneficial and pathogenic species. These findings emphasize the biotechnological relevance and ecological impact of coral‐associated fungi, especially as climate change may increase disease risks.

Comparative genomics study of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and ectoine relevant genes from Halomonas sp. TD01 revealed extensive horizontal gene transfer events and co-evolutionary relationships

Microbial Cell Factories, 2011
Background Halophilic bacteria have shown their significance in industrial production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and are gaining more attention for genetic engineering modification.

Megaplasmids in Gram-negative, moderately halophilic bacteria [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2003
We have discovered that many Halomonas species harbour large extrachromosomal DNA elements. Using currently available protocols it is technically very difficult to identify large plasmids in bacteria, and even more so when they are coated in mucous polysaccharide.

Denitrification performance, kinetics, and microbial community of methanol‐driven heterotrophic denitrification processes for treating nitrate‐rich water in recirculating mariculture system

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Large‐scale application of methanol‐driven heterotrophic denitrification (MHD) biofilms to recirculating mariculture systems (RMSs) is constrained by the requirement of precise methanol dosage. The emergence of intelligent aquaculture offers an opportunity to address this challenge, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the ...
