Metabolic adaptation of diatoms to hypersalinity
Microalgae are important primary producers and form the basis for the marine food web. As global climate changes, so do salinity levels that algae are exposed to. A metabolic response of algal cells partly alleviates the resulting osmotic stress.

Denitrification in hypersaline and coastal environments
Abstract As the association of denitrification with global warming and nitrogen removal from ecosystems has gained attention in recent decades, numerous studies have examined denitrification rates and the distribution of denitrifiers across different environments.

Preservation of ATP in Hypersaline Environments [PDF]
High concentrations of particulate ATP were found in the anoxic brines of the Orca Basin and East Flower Garden, Gulf of Mexico. Other measurements indicative of growth and respiration suggested that the microbial community in the brines was inactive, but somehow the ATP associated with the cells persisted.

Hydrocarbon Biodegradation in Hypersaline Environments [PDF]
When mineral oil, hexadecane, and glutamate were added to natural samples of varying salinity (3.3 to 28.4%) from salt evaporation ponds and Great Salt Lake, Utah, rates of metabolism of these compounds decreased as salinity increased.

An Ecological Perspective on Dolomite Formation in Great Salt Lake, Utah
Protodolomite was detected in sediments from Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah, United States, that have no history of elevated temperature or pressure, conditions that are thought to promote dolomitization of sedimentary carbonates. Protodolomite was abundant

Maintenance of osmotic homeostasis is essential for all organisms, especially for marine animals in the ocean with 3% salinity or higher. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that how marine animals adapt to high salinity environment compared to ...

Yeast diversity in hypersaline habitats [PDF]
Thus far it has been considered that hypersaline natural brines which are subjected to extreme solar heating, do not contain non-melanized yeast populations. Nevertheless we have isolated yeasts in eight different salterns worldwide, as well as from the Dead Sea, Enriquillo Lake (Dominican Republic) and the Great Salt Lake (Utah).

Functional Gene Expression in Shark Bay Hypersaline Microbial Mats: Adaptive Responses
Microbial mat communities possess extensive taxonomic and functional diversity, which drive high metabolic rates and rapid cycling of major elements.

Determining the precise limits of life in polyextreme environments is challenging. Studies along gradients of polyextreme conditions in the Dallol proto-volcano area (Danakil salt desert, Ethiopia) showed the occurrence of archaea-dominated communities ...
