The hypersaline soils of the Odiel Saltmarshes Natural Area in Southwest Spain harbor highly diverse microbial communities adapted to extreme conditions. However, their genomic diversity remains largely unexplored.

Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration often involves planting nursery‐grown potted plants to accelerate vegetation development, particularly when stressful conditions or insufficient source material inhibit natural recruitment. Under these conditions, planting more densely or larger, more developed plants may increase vegetation survival ...

ABSTRACT Although the global expansion of oxygen‐depleted marine environments during the Early Toarcian Jenkyns Event (or Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event) is primarily inferred from successions in the NW European epicontinental basins, the timing of the expansion of anoxia in Tethyan basins, where hydrography potentially played a minor role, is poorly ...

Microbial Diversity in a Hypersaline Sulfate Lake: A Terrestrial Analog of Ancient Mars
Life can persist under severe osmotic stress and low water activity in hypersaline environments. On Mars, evidence for the past presence of saline bodies of water is prevalent and resulted in the widespread deposition of sulfate and chloride salts.

ABSTRACT Thermodynamic constraints and empirical evidence often suggest that fabric‐retentive replacement dolomites are stable carbonate minerals that preserve ancient seawater properties. This study evaluates this hypothesis by examining the Upper Triassic Dolomia Principale in Northern Italy.

Studies of complex natural environments often focus on either biodiversity or on isolating organisms with specific properties. In this study, we sought to widen this perspective and achieve both.

ABSTRACT During the Middle Miocene Badenian Salinity Crisis (BSC), extensive evaporites formed across different tectonic settings in the Central Paratethys. Limited age constraints hamper evaporite correlation and identification of driving mechanisms. Here, we use U–Pb dating of zircon by LA‐ICP‐MS from tephra overlying the Tuzla Basin evaporites.

Background Normally, a salt amount greater than 3.5% (w/v) is defined as hypersaline. Large amounts of hypersaline wastewater containing organic pollutants need to be treated before it can be discharged into the environment.

Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB) is a reference work aimed at undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, professors and experienced professionals at all levels. About a hundred new genera and 600+ new species have been described per year for each of the last 5 years.

Microbial diversity of hypersaline environments: a metagenomic approach
Recent studies based on metagenomics and other molecular techniques have permitted a detailed knowledge of the microbial diversity and metabolic activities of microorganisms in hypersaline environments. The current accepted model of community structure in hypersaline environments is that the square archaeon Haloquadratum waslbyi, the bacteroidete ...
