Carboxydotrophic Acetogenesis in Alkaline Conditions Results in Transient Formate Production by the Halo‐Alkaliphilic Acetogen Haloacetibacter carboxydivorans Gen. Nov. sp. Nov

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
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 ...

Study of Microbial Communities in the Soda Lake of Isabel Island: Identification of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Degrading Enzymes

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
The crater lake on Isabel Island is a moderately saline soda lake that hosts microorganisms with potential biotechnological applications. We characterised the microbial communities using seven metagenomes and two genomes to identify polyhydroxybutyrate depolymerases.

Airborne Halophilic and Non‐Halophilic Microbial Communities in an Underground Salt Mine Affected by Seasonal Environmental Fluctuations

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while

Isolation and identification of halophilic bacteria producing halotolerant protease

, 2017
Halotolerant proteases are known as one of the important groups of enzymes that have been used widely in various industries. However, high production cost of proteases in term of energy used for sterilization and high risk of microbial contamination ...

Extreme Salinity Change Governs Microbial Community Assembly and Interactions

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
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 ...

Production and optimization of α-amylase from thermo-halophilic bacteria isolated from different local marine environments

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2018
Amylases are among the most important enzymes which are of great significance for biotechnology and have almost completely replaced chemical hydrolysis of starch in the starch processing industry.

Occurrence of squalene, di- and tetrahydrosqualenes, and vitamin MK8 in an extremely halophilic bacterium, Halobacterium cutirubrum

Journal of Lipid Research, 1969
The nonpolar (acetone-soluble) lipids of the extremely halophilic bacterium, Halobacterium cutirubrum, were found to consist of red carotenoid pigments (43%) and squalenes (48%) with a small amount of a vitamin K-type quinone. The squalenes were shown by

An Efficient CO2‐Upcycling Platform Based on Engineered Halomonas TD with Enhanced Acetate‐Utilizing Capacity via Adaptive Laboratory Evolution

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, 14 January 2026.
An electrochemical system is designed to convert CO2 into CO2‐derived electrolytes (CDE), mainly containing acetate and formate. The underlying mechanism of acetate metabolism in Halomonas TD80 is explored via ALE. Engineered TD80 produced high‐yield diversified products from CDE.

Control of Sulfide Production in High Salinity Bakken Shale Oil Reservoirs by Halophilic Bacteria Reducing Nitrate to Nitrite

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Microbial communities in shale oil fields are still poorly known. We obtained samples of injection, produced and facility waters from a Bakken shale oil field in Saskatchewan, Canada with a resident temperature of 60°C.
