Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in hypersaline environments [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2012
Literature on hydrocarbon degradation in extreme hypersaline media presents studies that point to a negative effect of salinity increase on hydrocarbonoclastic activity, while several others report an opposite tendency. Based on information available in the literature, we present a discussion on the reasons that justify these contrary results.

Microbial mats: an ecological niche for fungi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Fungi were documented in tropical hypersaline microbial mats and their role in the degradation of complex carbohydrates (exopolimeric substance – EPS) was explored.

Protein‐Independent Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation of Adenosine Triphosphate Under Crowded Conditions

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ATP itself is able to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation in the presence of the macromolecular crowding agent PEG and physiological ATP concentrations are sufficient for phase separation in the presence of mM Mg2+ and crowders, mimicking intracellular conditions.

Characterization of hypersaline zones in salt marshes

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Abstract Salt pans are commonly found in coastal marshes and play a vital role in the marsh plant zonation. However, the correlation between these hypersaline zones and the marsh hydrological conditions have barely been characterized. This study numerically investigates the effects of evaporation rate, tidal amplitude, and marsh platform

Where the Little Ones Play the Main Role—Picophytoplankton Predominance in the Soda and Hypersaline Lakes of the Carpathian Basin

Microorganisms, 2022
The extreme environmental conditions of the diverse saline inland waters (soda lakes and pans, hypersaline lakes and ponds) of the Carpathian Basin are an advantage for picophytoplankton.

Photothermal–Magnetocaloric Coupled Evaporators for Actively Adjustable Water Evaporation and Oil–Water Purification in Complex Environments

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A photothermal–magnetocaloric coupled aerogel evaporator is developed for actively adjustable water evaporation in complex environments. Magnetocaloric heating provides active energy compensation under low‐light conditions and disrupts interfacial hydrogen‐bond networks to promote evaporation.

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.

Seismic Sequence Stratigraphy Applied to Reservoir Recognition and Evolution on Marine Carbonatic Ramp—Macaé Group (Albian to Cenomanian) of Campos Basin

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
A classic oil producing interval of the Campos Basin—Macaé Group is revisited through seismic stratigraphic analysis, providing a stratigraphic framework, characteristic depositional and relative time positioning for several complex structural settings.

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.

Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation of Saline Diesel Contaminated Water by a Novel Bacterial Halophilic Consortium

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
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 ...
