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]
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 ...

Metabarcoding under Brine:Microbial Ecology of Five Hypersaline Lakes at Rottnest Island (WA, Australia) [PDF]
Hypersaline ecosystems—aquatic environments where concentration of salt exceeds 35 g L−1—host microbial communities that are highly specialised to cope with these extreme conditions.

Understanding Fungi in Glacial and Hypersaline Environments
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

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.

The first metazoa living in permanently anoxic conditions [PDF]
Background Several unicellular organisms (prokaryotes and protozoa) can live under permanently anoxic conditions. Although a few metazoans can survive temporarily in the absence of oxygen, it is believed that multi-cellular organisms cannot spend their ...

Fered–Fenton treatment of saline produced water: generation of reactive oxygen species and enhanced degradation of cyclohexane carboxylic acid through in‐situ electrochemical Fenton reactions. Abstract Offshore oilfield produced water (OPW) is a highly complex and hypersaline effluent from oil and gas extraction industry.
