ABSTRACT The use of microorganisms is an evolving method for the degradation of hydrocarbon contaminants. In this aim, halophilic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were isolated from oil contaminated soil in Tunisia. A lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis SPB1 was tested to increase diesel biodegradation along with co‐inoculation with ...

Plantago species are widespread in the Mediterranean and have potential applications in restoration of degraded or saline soils. This study examined germination responses of Plantago albicans, P. coronopus, and P. maritima from multiple Iberian populations under different temperature, osmotic stress, and salinity.

Assessing fungal–mineral interactions in soil: A review of microscale methods
Abstract Biological weathering of minerals has profoundly transformed Earth over geologic time by driving soil formation, nutrient cycling, and long‐term biogeochemical processes. Among soil biota, fungi are increasingly recognized as key yet obscure drivers of weathering through their unique hyphal growth forms, metabolic capabilities, and symbiotic ...

Global complexities and challenges in the restoration of hypersaline coastal wetlands
Wetlands in hypersaline environments are especially vulnerable to loss and degradation, as increasing coastal urbanization and climate change rapidly exacerbate freshwater supply stressors.

Brine Pool Microbes Enrich Metalliferous Sediments in Salt Giant Basins
Abstract We report the discovery of an extinct deep‐sea brine pool in the Red Sea's Hume Deep, providing evidence that rift‐shoulder pools are ephemeral on millennial timescales, and that the microbially‐enriched metalliferous deposits produced during the pool's active phase persist into the stratigraphic record.

Foraminiferal assemblages in a hypersaline lagoon, Araruama (RJ) Brazil
International audienceForaminiferal assemblages were studied in 93 samples collected in the lagoon of Araruama and in the adjacent area. The lagoon of Araruama is one of the largest hypersaline lagoons in the world, with a salinity range of 52-65 %o ...

Hydrothermal activity at the Tagoro submarine volcano shapes distinct epipelagic and benthic prokaryotic communities. Microbial diversity decreases towards vent sources, yet novel taxa dominate and potentially contribute to iron, nitrogen, sulphur and methane cycling in this shallow hydrothermal system with high unexplored microbial diversity ...

Microbial diversity in hypersaline wastewater : the example of tanneries
International audienceIn contrast to conventional wastewater treatment plants and saline environments, little is known regarding the microbial diversity of hypersaline wastewater. In this study, the microbial communities of a hypersaline tannery effluent,

Soda lakes represent an excellent resource in the search for microbes adapted to alkaline and hypersaline conditions. In this study we demonstrate the ability of Alkalitalea saponilacus to degrade multiple carbon sources representing a promising bacterium for biotechnological applications where performance under alkaline or strongly ionic conditions is

Organohalide respiration in a pristine hypersaline lake
Despite compiling evidence on distribution of organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) in pristine environments, there is lack of knowledge about their occurrence and potential contribution to the chlorine cycle in extreme environments such as hypersaline ...
