Hypersaline Pore Water in Gulf of Mexico Beaches Prevented Efficient Biodegradation of Deepwater Horizon Beached Oil

open access: yes, 2021
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) blowout released 3.19 million barrels (435 000 tons) of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Driven by currents and wind, an estimated 22 000 tons of spilled oil were deposited onto the northeastern Gulf shorelines ...

Benthic microalgae community response to flooding in a tropical salt flat

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
This research evaluated the effect of flooding on the microphytobenthos community structure in a microbial mat from a tropical salt flat. Field samples were collected during four consecutive days: on the first three days the salt flat was dry, on the ...

Diversity of hydrolase-producing halophilic bacteria and evaluation of their enzymatic activities in submerged cultures

open access: yesAnnals of Microbiology, 2020
Purpose In this work, we assessed the diversity of culturable halophilic bacteria that produce hydrolytic enzymes from both natural and artificial hypersaline regions in the pre-Rif region of Morocco. Methods Bacteria were isolated from three hypersaline

Determination of nano and microplastic particles in hypersaline lakes by multiple methods

open access: yes, 2021
Microplastics and nanoplastics have a range of impacts on the aquatic environment and present major challenges to their mitigation and management. Their transport and fate depend on their composition, form, and the characteristics of the receiving ...

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Hypersaline Microbial Self-Powered Biosensor with Increased Sensitivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The on-line, self-powered monitoring of the organic carbon content in hypersaline solutions (e.g. chemical oxygen demand, COD) based on a microbial biosensor would avoid the generation of toxic waste, originated by common COD analytical methods, and ...

Asking the 5 W's for designing next‐generation bioprocessing

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Biotechnology is expanding beyond traditional, centralized fermentation and toward next‐generation bioprocessing paradigms that emphasize flexible deployment outside the laboratory with application‐specific performance. However, many bioprocesses fail to translate beyond proof‐of‐concept into industrially viable systems because early design ...

Survival, metabolic activity, and ultrastructural damages of Antarctic black fungus in perchlorates media

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Evidence from recent Mars landers identified the presence of perchlorates salts at 1 wt % in regolith and their widespread distribution on the Martian surface that has been hypothesized as a critical chemical hazard for putative life forms.
