HaloDom: a new database of halophiles across all life domains
Background Halophilic organisms may thrive in or tolerate high salt concentrations. They have been studied for decades and a considerable number of papers reporting new halophilic species are being published every year.

Architecture and Evolution of Prokaryotic Multicellularity: Common Patterns and Diversity
Prokaryotes form diverse multicellular structures, like biofilms, filaments, and aggregates, comprising hallmark traits such as adhesion, communication, differentiation, and programmed cell death. This review explores how these forms develop, function, and evolve in response to environmental cues.

ABSTRACT To address the widespread constraints imposed by saline‐alkaline soils on agricultural production worldwide, the combined reclamation and carbon cycle regulation effects of artificial humic acid (AHA) and a multifunctional microbial inoculant were evaluated through pot experiments. Results demonstrated that co‐application of AHA (4 g·kg−1) and

Halophilic & halotolerant prokaryotes in humans
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

Abstract High‐latitude lakes are ecologically important, particularly during ice‐covered periods, when three distinct media (ice, water, and sediment) and two critical interfaces, the ice‐water interface (IWI) and sediment‐water interface (SWI), are formed.

Effects of Salt and pH on Aerobic Plate Count Methods for Low‐Water Activity Foods
ABSTRACT The aerobic plate count (APC) method measures aerobic microorganisms in food that can grow on plates under specific conditions. This study assessed the impact of salt and pH on three APC methods –3M Petrifilm AC, pour plate and spread plate—for enumerating bacteria in a low‐water activity model food (pancreatin powder).

ABSTRACT Microeukaryotes are important components of microbial food webs in saline and alkaline lakes, yet their diversity and distribution across distinct microhabitats remain poorly understood. We characterized microeukaryotic communities associated with microbialites, microbial mats, hypersaline waters, and sediments in the desiccating maar lake ...

Investigating the Quorum Sensing System in Halophilic Bacteria
Halophiles are organisms that inhabit hypersaline environments and require hypersaline conditions to grow (from 2-5 % NaCl up to above 20-30 % NaCl). Halophiles are mostly prokaryotes, which are able to thrive in such harsh conditions because of their ...

ABSTRACT Vibrio harveyi is an important bacterial pathogen in marine aquaculture, responsible for outbreaks affecting a wide range of fish species. Early detection of potentially virulent isolates in fish and environmental samples is essential for effective disease prevention and management, particularly under field conditions where the pathogen may be
