Pressure retarded osmosis from hypersaline sources — A review
Desalination, 2017 Salinity gradient power has been identified as a promising new renewable energy technology, but previous attempts to commercialize the technology have failed due to low energy densities and power densities when using seawater as the saline water. One way

Understanding Fungi in Glacial and Hypersaline Environments
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2023 Hypersaline waters and glacial ice are inhospitable environments that have low water activity and high concentrations of osmolytes. They are inhabited by diverse microbial communities, of which extremotolerant and extremophilic fungi are essential components. Some fungi are specialized in only one of these two environments and can thrive in conditions

The metavirome of a hypersaline environment
Environmental Microbiology, 2010Summary Hypersaline environments harbour the highest number of virus‐like particles reported for planktonic systems. However, very little is known about the genomic diversity of these virus assemblages since most of the knowledge on halophages is based on the analysis of a few isolates infecting strains of ...

Acclimation to hypersaline water in a crab
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1963Abstract 1. 1. Groups of the mud crab Hemigrapsus oregonensis which had been exposed for prolonged periods to high salinity demonstrated better osmotic regulation in concentrated sea water than groups freshly removed from approximately normal sea water. 2. 2. This phenomenon is attributed to physiological acclimation. 3. 3.

Viruses from the Hypersaline Environment
2011Halophilic environments such as solar salterns and salt lakes are enriched in organisms belonging to the domain Archaea. The number of virus-like particles has also been shown to be high. Although most of the described haloarchaeal viruses are head–tail viruses, direct microscopic examination of environmental samples suggests more diversity.

Yeasts in Hypersaline Habitats
2017For a long time, halotolerant yeasts were known exclusively as contaminants of food preserved with high concentrations of salt or sugar. Their presence in natural thalassohaline hypersaline environments was unknown until 2000, when they were first reported to be active inhabitants of man-made solar salterns in Slovenia.

Cryptic Freshwater Ciliates in a Hypersaline Lagoon
Protist, 2003Ubiquitous dispersal of free-living microbial species implies that each and every ecosystem supports a 'seedbank' of microbial species that are imported by random dispersal. However, many of the microbial species present in any particular ecosystem will probably never thrive there because the local environment is unsuitable for their population growth.

Substrate Limitation for Methanogenesis in Hypersaline Environments
Astrobiology, 2012Motivated by the increasingly abundant evidence for hypersaline environments on Mars and reports of methane in its atmosphere, we examined methanogenesis in hypersaline ponds in Baja California Sur, Mexico, and in northern California, USA. Methane-rich bubbles trapped within or below gypsum/halite crusts have δ¹³C values near -40‰.

The Biogeochemistry of Hypersaline Microbial Mats
1995Microbial mats are structurally coherent macroscopic accumulations of microorganisms. Photosynthetic mats offer an opportunity to examine the dynamics of a complete microbial ecosystem. Microbial mats construct laminated “miniature reefs” called stromatolites, which occur typically as carbonate rocks and are among the oldest, most abundant fossil ...
