Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Hypersaline environments represent some of the most challenging settings for life on Earth. Extremely halophilic microorganisms have been selected to colonize and thrive in these extreme environments by virtue of a broad spectrum of adaptations to ...

Recent studies in microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in hypersaline environments
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Many hypersaline environments are often contaminated with petroleum compounds. Among these, oil and natural gas production sites all over the world and hundreds of kilometers of coastlines in the more arid regions of Gulf countries are of major concern ...

Special Issue “Halophilic Microorganisms”
Microorganisms, 2023 Hypersaline environments are mainly represented by aquatic systems, such as solar salt ponds or natural salt lakes, as well as by the sediments of these hypersaline aquatic ecosystems and soils with high salt content [...]

Spatial and temporal variability of the zooplankton community at Araruama Lagoon
Biotemas, 2020 In hypersaline environments the zooplankton community is generally poor in density and richness, even so these organisms are fundamental to the base of the local food chain.

Heterotrophic Protists in Hypersaline Microbial Mats and Deep Hypersaline Basin Water Columns
Life, 2013 Although hypersaline environments pose challenges to life because of the low water content (water activity), many such habitats appear to support eukaryotic microbes.

Salinity regulation of the interaction of halovirus SNJ1 with its host and alteration of the halovirus replication strategy to adapt to the variable ecosystem. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Halovirus is a major force that affects the evolution of extreme halophiles and the biogeochemistry of hypersaline environments. However, until now, the systematic studies on the halovirus ecology and the effects of salt concentration on virus-host ...
