Yersinia pestis halotolerance illuminates plague reservoirs [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractThe plague agent Yersinia pestis persists for years in the soil. Two millennia after swiping over Europe and North Africa, plague established permanent foci in North Africa but not in neighboring Europe. Mapping human plague foci reported in North Africa for 70 years indicated a significant location at <3 kilometers from the Mediterranean ...

The effect of halotolerant bacteria isolated from saline soil on the growth and yield of maize in saline soil

open access: yesJournal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2023
Salinity is a common problem of abiotic stress in the world. Salinity stress causes yield loss in cultivated crops, such as maize. The yield of maize exposed to salinity stress can be increased with the application of some beneficial microorganisms ...

Three-dimensional structure of a halotolerant algal carbonic anhydrase predicts halotolerance of a mammalian homolog [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
Protein molecular adaptation to drastically shifting salinities was studied in dCA II, an α-type carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1) from the exceptionally salt-tolerant unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina . The salt-inducible, extracellular dCA II is highly salt-tolerant and thus differs from its mesophilic ...
