Glycerol metabolism in hypersaline environments [PDF]

Environmental 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 ...

New Halonotius Species Provide Genomics-Based Insights Into Cobalamin Synthesis in Haloarchaea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Hypersaline aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems display a cosmopolitan distribution. These environments teem with microbes and harbor a plethora of prokaryotic lineages that evaded ecological characterization due to the prior inability to cultivate them ...

Geographical Isolation, Buried Depth, and Physicochemical Traits Drive the Variation of Species Diversity and Prokaryotic Community in Three Typical Hypersaline Environments

Microorganisms, 2020
The prokaryotic community composition, species diversity and the distribution patterns at various taxonomic levels in a salt lake (Chaka salt lake), solar salterns (Taipei saltworks and Dongfang saltworks), and salt mines (Yuanyongjing salt mine ...

The Association of Group IIB Intron with Integrons in Hypersaline Environments [PDF]

Mobile DNA, 2020
Abstract Background: Group II introns are mobile genetic elements used as efficient gene targeting tools. They function as both ribozymes and retroelements. Group IIC introns are the only class reported so far to be associated with integrons. In order to identify group II introns linked with integrons and CALINS (cluster of attC sites lacking a

Discovery of the deep-sea NEOM Brine Pools in the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
The sedimentary signals of climatic and tectonic events are preserved in pristine condition by the hypersaline environment within brine pools discovered by remote observations, and core and brine sampling, in the Gulf of Aqaba, off the Saudi Arabian ...

Isolation, identification and reduction characteristics of a salt-tolerant Cr(Ⅵ) reducing strain

四川大学学报. 自然科学版, 2023
In order to solve the problem of hexavalent chromium Cr(Ⅵ) pollution in high inorganic salt wastewater, a strain of Cr(Ⅵ) reducing bacteria, named KL01, was isolated from the hypersaline environment and molecularly identified as Oceanobacillus picturae ...

Different Responses of Bacteria and Archaea to Environmental Variables in Brines of the Mahai Potash Mine, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Microorganisms, 2023
Salt mines feature both autochthonous and allochthonous microbial communities introduced by industrialization. It is important to generate the information on the diversity of the microbial communities present in the salt mines and how they are shaped by ...

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

Advanced 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.

Sacrificial anode Fered–Fenton process for the degradation of a model naphthenic acid in high‐salinity water

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
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.
