Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Abundance, Distribution, and Activity of Fe(II)-Oxidizing and Fe(III)-Reducing Microorganisms in Hypersaline Sediments of Lake Kasin, Southern Russia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The extreme osmotic conditions prevailing in hypersaline environments result in decreasing metabolic diversity with increasing salinity. Various microbial metabolisms have been shown to occur even at high salinity, including photosynthesis as well as ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics and machine learning‐based prediction of above‐ground biomass in the Indus Delta mangroves

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1776-1789, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mangrove forests are important blue carbon ecosystems, yet long‐term above‐ground biomass (AGB) dynamics in arid deltaic systems remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated field‐derived AGB data with multisource remote sensing and machine learning models (random ...

Biodegradation of Aromatic Compounds by a Halophilic Archaeon Isolated from the Dead Sea

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2012
It is well established that aromatic compounds can be readily degraded in aerobic environments within soils, sediments and waters with salinities up to and including that of seawater.

Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

Microbial Diversity in a Hypersaline Sulfate Lake: A Terrestrial Analog of Ancient Mars

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
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.

Effect of Metal Cations on Selenite Bioreduction by a Consortium of Halophilic/Halotolerant Bacteria and/or Yeast

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Evaluation the effects of potentially toxic co‐contaminating metal cations, including cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and Zinc (Zn), on the bioreduction of selenite by a consortium of halotolerant and halophilic bacteria and/or yeast. ABSTRACT Selenium oxyanion pollution in the environment, often originating from anthropogenic industrial activities, causes ...

Extremely Halotolerant and Halophilic Fungi Inhabit Brine in Solar Salterns Around the Globe

open access: yesFood Technology and Biotechnology, 2014
For a long time halotolerant and halophilic fungi have been known exclusively as contaminants of food preserved with high concentrations of either salt or sugar.
