Genome-Resolved Metagenomics Extends the Environmental Distribution of the Verrucomicrobia Phylum to the Deep Terrestrial Subsurface

open access: yesmSphere, 2019
Bacteria of the phylum Verrucomicrobia are prevalent and are particularly common in soil and freshwater environments. Their cosmopolitan distribution and reported capacity for polysaccharide degradation suggests members of Verrucomicrobia are important ...

Viral community composition of hypersaline lakes [PDF]

open access: yesVirus Evolution, 2023
AbstractDespite their widespread distribution and remarkable antiquity no RNA viruses definitively associated with the domain Archaea have been identified. In contrast, 17 families of DNA viruses are known to infect archaea. In an attempt to uncover more of the elusive archaeal virosphere, we investigated the metatranscriptomes of hypersaline lakes ...

Probing Saltern Brines with an Oxygen Electrode: What Can We Learn about the Community Metabolism in Hypersaline Systems?

open access: yesLife, 2016
We have explored the use of optical oxygen electrodes to study oxygenic photosynthesis and heterotrophic activities in crystallizer brines of the salterns in Eilat, Israel.

Industrial application of eutectic freeze crystallization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
South African industries are currently generating increasing quantities of hypersaline brine streams. These wastewater streams need to be processed in an ecologically friendly and economically favourable method to produce both purified water and ...

Do separated taxa react differently to a long-term salinity increase? The meiobenthos changes in Bay Sivash, largest hypersaline lagoon worldwide

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2019
In the world's largest hypersaline lagoon Bay Sivash, its ecosystem twice transformed from a previous state to a new one due to human intervention. Before the North Crimean Canal construction, it was hypersaline (average salinity of 140 g l−1). The canal

Insights into saline adaptation strategies through a novel halophilic bacterium isolated from solar saltern of Yellow sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Solar salterns were placed along the coast and were frequently left unattended after use. While many studies have isolated and identified microorganisms from hypersaline environments, their role and adaptation mechanisms are still unclear.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
