Diversity of Parasitic Animals in Hypersaline Waters: A Review

Diversity, 2023
Hypersaline waters are unique polyextreme habitats, where the salinity limits species richness. There are main patterns of a relationship between salinity and the species richness of free-living aquatic animals, but for parasitic organisms, general ...

The modulation of leaf metabolism plays a role in salt tolerance of Cymodocea nodosa exposed to hypersaline stress in mesocosms

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
By the proteomic approach we tested the physiological responses of the euryhaline seagrass Cymodocea nodosa to deliberate manipulation of salinity in a mesocosm system.

Groundwater Connectivity and Buffering in Western Australian Hypersaline Lakes: Implications for Late‐Stage Martian Lacustrine Systems

Earth and Space Science
Thousands of saline to hypersaline lakes exist across the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia, representing potential Mars analogs with diverse and varying salinity, pH, and oxygen conditions that remain poorly constrained.

MetFish: a Metabolomics Pipeline for Studying Microbial Communities in Chemically Extreme Environments

mSystems, 2021
The identification and accurate quantification of metabolites using electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in hypersaline samples is a challenge due to matrix effects.

Halophilic Aspergillus penicillioides from athalassohaline, thalassohaline and polyhaline environments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Aspergillus penicillioides is a true halophile, present in diverse econiches – from the hypersaline athalassohaline and thalassohaline environments, to polyhaline systems, and in different geographical locations.

Extraction of high molecular weight DNA from microbial mats

BioTechniques, 2010
Due to the presence of inhibitors such as extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) and salts, most microbial mat studies have relied on harsh methods of direct DNA extraction that result in DNA fragments too small for large-insert vector cloning.

Microbial Community Structure and the Persistence of Cyanobacterial Populations in Salt Crusts of the Hyperarid Atacama Desert from Genome-Resolved Metagenomics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Although once thought to be devoid of biology, recent studies have identified salt deposits as oases for life in the hyperarid Atacama Desert. To examine spatial patterns of microbial species and key nutrient sources, we genomically characterized 26 salt

Cyanobacterial Diversity in Microbial Mats from the Hypersaline Lagoon System of Araruama, Brazil: An In-depth Polyphasic Study

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Microbial mats are complex, micro-scale ecosystems that can be found in a wide range of environments. In the top layer of photosynthetic mats from hypersaline environments, a large diversity of cyanobacteria typically predominates.

Metaviromics of Namib Desert Salt Pans: A Novel Lineage of Haloarchaeal Salterproviruses and a Rich Source of ssDNA Viruses

Viruses, 2016
Viral communities of two different salt pans located in the Namib Desert, Hosabes and Eisfeld, were investigated using a combination of multiple displacement amplification of metaviromic DNA and deep sequencing, and provided comprehensive sequence data ...

The extreme halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii reduced Fe(III) to conserve energy from extracellular electron transfer

Journal of Bacteriology
Iron availability affects oceanic primary productivity and the strength of the biological carbon pump. However, the mechanism of iron solubility in hypersaline environments is poorly understood.
