Microbial community of the deep-sea brine Lake Kryos seawater-brine interface is active below the chaotropicity limit of life as revealed by recovery of mRNA [PDF]
Within the complex of deep, hypersaline anoxic lakes (DHALs) of the Mediterranean Ridge we identified a new, unexplored DHAL and named it "Lake Kryos" after a nearby depression.

Isolasi, Karakterisasi, dan Kloning Gen Penyandi α α α α α-Amilase Bakteri Halofil Moderat asal Bledug Kuwu [PDF]
A moderately halophilic bacteria, BK-05, was isolated from Bledug Kuwu, a saline terrestrial area at Central Java. Based on partial sequence of 16S-rRNA gene, the isolate was closely related to Halobacillus litoralis.

Phylogenetically Driven Sequencing of Extremely Halophilic Archaea Reveals Strategies for Static and Dynamic Osmo-response [PDF]
© 2014. Organisms across the tree of life use a variety of mechanisms to respond to stress-inducing fluctuations in osmotic conditions. Cellular response mechanisms and phenotypes associated with osmoadaptation also play important roles in bacterial ...

Pathways of glycine betaine synthesis in two extremely halophilic bacteria, Actinopolyspora halophila and Ectothiorhodospira halochloris [PDF]
Glycine betaine is a solute which is able to restore and maintain the osmotic balance of living cells. In this thesis, the glycine betaine synthesis in two extremely halophilic bacteria Actinopolyspora halophila and Ectothiorhodospira halochloris is ...

The biology of habitat dominance; can microbes behave as weeds? [PDF]
Competition between microbial species is a product of, yet can lead to a reduction in, the microbial diversity of specific habitats. Microbial habitats can resemble ecological battlefields where microbial cells struggle to dominate and/or annihilate each

Preface to the proceedings of Halophiles 2013 [PDF]
Halophiles are organisms, and their viruses, adapted to thriving and reproducing in high salt concentrations, representatives of which can be found in all domains of life. To flourish in these environments, an individual must overcome many obstacles including high osmotic pressure, low water availability, high and low pH conditions, high temperatures ...

Anaerobic oxidation of methane in hypersaline cold seep sediments [PDF]
Life in hypersaline environments is typically limited by bioenergetic constraints. Microbial activity at the thermodynamic edge, such as the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) coupled to sulphate reduction (SR), is thus unlikely to thrive in these ...

Improvement of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) nodulation by selected rhizobial strain from Egyptian soils through genotypic characterization, symbiotic effectiveness and competitiveness under salt stress conditions [PDF]
To maximize the symbiotic nitrogen fixation of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) under egyptian soil conditions, twelve rhizobial isolates were isolated from root nodulated common bean.
