Halophiles are extremophilic microorganisms that grow optimally at high salt concentrations by producing a myriad of equally halotolerant enzymes. Structural haloadaptation of these enzymes adept to thriving under high-salt environments, though are not fully understood.

Halalophilc and halotolerant fungi in cultivated dessert and salt marsh soils from Egypt [PDF]
One hundred halophilic and halotolerant species in addition to 3 varieties belonging to 27 genera were collccted from 25 samples of cultivated desert and saline soils from different habitats in Egypt on 5-25%. NaCl-Czapek's agar at 28°C(±2°C>.

Bacteria Halotolerant from Karst Sinkholes as a Source of Biosurfactants and Bioemulsifiers
Halotolerant bacteria with biosurfactant (BS) and bioemulsifiers (BE) activity can coexist in Karstic sinkholes with marine influence. Two sinkholes in the Yucatan peninsula were selected to isolate bacteria with BE and BS activity stable in NaCl.

Halophilic & Halotolerant Prokaryotes in Humans
Halophilic 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 moderately halophilic, 17 (32.69%) were slightly halophilic and three (5.76%) were extremely halophilic prokaryotes.

Genomic adaptations of novel halotolerant bacteria from extreme North Greenland [PDF]
Peary Land, northern-most Greenland, is a cold desert region whose soil microbiome remains underexplored. This is the first study to explore the halotolerant soil microbiome of this region with culture-dependent methods.

From Reactive Remediation to Predictive Prevention: A Systems Synthesis of Global Soil Salinization and Sodicity [PDF]
Salty soils are spreading across the world's farmland, often building up unnoticed for years before crop yields fall sharply and repair becomes slow and costly. Our review shows that this damage comes from linked problems in soil chemistry, water management, and policy, so fixing any one of them alone rarely works.

Correlational analysis of halotolerant palynomorphs peculiarities by integrating morphological and morphometric characterization using scanning electron microscopy [PDF]
Pollen analysis of halophytes is crucial for their accurate identification and taxonomic classification within respective families. This study aimed to highlight the systematic pollen analysis of 15 dominant halotolerant species from twelve families ...

Ectoine degradation pathway in halotolerant methylotrophs.
BACKGROUND:Microorganisms living in saline environments are forced to regulate turgor via the synthesis of organic osmoprotective compounds. Microbial adaptation to fluctuations in external salinity includes degradation of compatible solutes.

Culture-Dependent Bioprospecting of Halophilic Microorganisms from Portuguese Salterns [PDF]
Extreme hypersaline environments harbour a unique biodiversity capable of surviving in such habitats, including halophilic and halotolerant bacteria. Microbial adaptations to these environments comprehend two main strategies: the “salt-in” that involves ...
