Advanced Strategies of Salt Blocking in the Hypersaline Water. [PDF]
Glob ChallAdvanced strategies of salt blocking in hypersaline water—including hydrophobic, unidirectional brine transportation, dissolution migration, edge crystallization, siphon capillary effect, and zwitterionic effect. ABSTRACT In the past decade, due to high consumption of freshwater and severe drought on the earth, human beings have experienced an ...

Preservation of ATP in Hypersaline Environments [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987 High concentrations of particulate ATP were found in the anoxic brines of the Orca Basin and East Flower Garden, Gulf of Mexico. Other measurements indicative of growth and respiration suggested that the microbial community in the brines was inactive, but somehow the ATP associated with the cells persisted.

Viral Assemblages of a Hypersaline Estuary Show Divergent Responses to Freshwater and Temperature Disturbances. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepMetagenomic assessment of viromes at two sites in Laguna Madre, a hypersaline estuary, showed unique viral communities. Extreme cold temperature changes showed a greater propensity to enrich AMGs toward oxidative phosphorylation and sulfur metabolism. Extreme shifts in salinity led to homogenized viral taxonomic groups more similar to those typically ...

Hydrocarbon Biodegradation in Hypersaline Environments [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1978 When mineral oil, hexadecane, and glutamate were added to natural samples of varying salinity (3.3 to 28.4%) from salt evaporation ponds and Great Salt Lake, Utah, rates of metabolism of these compounds decreased as salinity increased.

Understanding Fungi in Glacial and Hypersaline Environments
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2023 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

Facies variability and depositional settings of Laguna Salada de Chiprana, an Iberian hypersaline lake [PDF]
, 2022 Hypersaline lakes are unique depositional environments that are highly sen- sitive to climatic changes and anthropogenic pressures. Strong physicochem- ical gradients and the interplay of physical, chemical and biological depositional processes coupled ...

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

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.
