Black yeasts in hypersaline conditions

open access: yesApplied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Abstract Extremotolerant and extremophilic fungi are an important part of microbial communities that thrive in extreme environments. Among them, the black yeasts are particularly adaptable. They use their melanized cell walls and versatile morphology, as well as a complex set of molecular adaptations, to survive in conditions ...

Deciphering the functional and structural complexity of the Solar Lake flat mat microbial benthic communities

open access: yesmSystems
The Solar Lake in Taba, Egypt, encompasses one of the few modern-day microbial mats’ systems metabolically analogous to Precambrian stromatolites. Solar Lake benthic communities and their adaptation to the Lake’s unique limnological cycle have not been ...

A Porous Interfacial Photothermal Layer of Fused Core–Shell Carbon‐Polymer Nanospheres for Directional Salt Crystallization and Zero‐Liquid‐Discharge

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
A hierarchical hydrogel evaporator with a thin, porous photothermal layer of fused core–shell carbon‐polymer nanospheres enables ultrafast interfacial solar evaporation with minimized heat loss and sufficient water supply. Directional advection‐dominated brine transport, coupled with Marangoni‐driven interfacial flow, drives salt away from the active ...

Integrated histopathological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular analysis of gill responses to acute salinity stress in red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.)

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Growing freshwater scarcity in China is driving aquaculture interests toward saline‐tolerant fish species. Red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) is a euryhaline species with strong osmoregulatory capacity, making it an ideal model for investigating stress‐induced physiological changes.

Ice Nucleation Enhancement in Ambient Aerosols Under High‐Salinity Conditions: Insights From Cloud Chamber Experiments

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a role in mixed‐phase clouds, yet the processes controlling their properties remain poorly understood. Water‐soluble salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) depress the freezing temperature of cloud droplets.

Hypersalinity drives physiological and morphological changes in Limia perugiae (Poeciliidae)

open access: yesBiology Open, 2016
A fundamental question in biology is how an organism's morphology and physiology are shaped by its environment. Here, we evaluate the effects of a hypersaline environment on the morphology and physiology of a population of livebearing fish in the genus ...
