The role of salinity as an environmental filtering factor in the determination of the Diptera taxonomic composition in the Crimean waters

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2019
Salinity is one of the most important factors in aquatic ecosystems, but its filtering role in the Diptera community species composition is still poorly studied. This issue was studied in the diverse Crimean water bodies.

Salt resistance genes revealed by functional metagenomics from brines and moderate-salinity rhizosphere within a hypersaline environment

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Hypersaline environments are considered one of the most extreme habitats on earth and microorganisms have developed diverse molecular mechanisms of adaptation to withstand these conditions.

Toxicity at the Edge of Life: A Review on Cyanobacterial Toxins from Extreme Environments

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2017
Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, of varied chemical nature and toxic effects. Although cyanobacteria thrive in all kinds of ecosystems on Earth even under very harsh conditions, current knowledge on cyanotoxin distribution

Metabolic Potential of Microbial Communities in the Hypersaline Sediments of the Bonneville Salt Flats

open access: yesmSystems, 2022
The Bonneville Salt Flats (BSF) appear to be entirely desolate when viewed from above, but they host rich microbial communities just below the surface salt crust. In this study, we investigated the metabolic potential of the BSF microbial ecosystem.

Glycerol metabolism in hypersaline environments [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, 2016
Summary Glycerol is a key compound for the understanding of the microbiology of hypersaline environments. At the highest salt concentrations the main or even sole primary producer is the green unicellular alga Dunaliella , which uses photosynthetically produced glycerol as ...

Understanding Fungi in Glacial and Hypersaline Environments

open access: yesAnnual 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

Morphological Characteristics of Mangroves in Saltwater Lakes under Hypersaline Conditions in Gili Meno North Lombok, Indonesia

open access: yesJurnal Inovasi Pendidikan dan Sains
Mangrove ecosystem is an environment formed from the interaction between land and sea waters, playing an important role as a natural protector of the coast from abrasion, tsunamis, and supporting biodiversity.

Special Issue “Halophilic Microorganisms”

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Hypersaline environments are mainly represented by aquatic systems, such as solar salt ponds or natural salt lakes, as well as by the sediments of these hypersaline aquatic ecosystems and soils with high salt content [...]

Unraveling Anaerobic Metabolisms in a Hypersaline Sediment

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The knowledge on the microbial diversity inhabiting hypersaline sediments is still limited. In particular, existing data about anaerobic hypersaline archaea and bacteria are scarce and refer to a limited number of genera. The approach to obtain existing information has been almost exclusively attempting to grow every organism in axenic culture on the ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.
