A tale of two microbialites: Stromatolites and microbially induced sedimentary structures

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 849-863, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbialites are biosedimentary structures built by microbial mats. Five microbialite groups are distinguished: stromatolites, thrombolites, dendrolites, leiloites and microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS). This contribution discusses the two most abundant microbialite groups in marine settings, stromatolites and MISS.

Genomic characterisation of novel extremophile lineages from the thalassohaline lake Dziani Dzaha expands the metabolic repertoire of the PVC superphylum

Environmental Microbiome
Background Extreme environments are useful systems to investigate limits of life, microbial biogeography and ecology, and the adaptation and evolution of microbial lineages.

Microbially induced sedimentary structures in fluvial settings: the gas domes from the Bolzano Megacaldera (Permian, Italy)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 914-944, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gas domes serve as some of the earliest and most persisting indicators of life on Earth, yet their documentation in continental environments remains sparse. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining gas domes within the Permian fluvial succession of Monte Luco, located in the caldera of the Bolzano Supervolcano. These structures occur as

Organohalide respiration in a pristine hypersaline lake

, 2017
Despite compiling evidence on distribution of organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) in pristine environments, there is lack of knowledge about their occurrence and potential contribution to the chlorine cycle in extreme environments such as hypersaline ...

Altered Na, K- Atpase Isoform Expression in Artemia Franciscana in Response to Hypersaline Environments

, 2017
The Na,K-ATPase (NKA) is an essential membrane pump that helps to establish cell ion gradients, and regulate intracellular salt in many organisms.

Characterization of selected isolates from hypersaline lakes in Western Australia and Victoria, Australia

, 2009
Compared to the amount of work on alkaline to neutral hypersaline environments, acidic hypersaline environments have been barely studied. Specifically, very little is known about the microbial populations present in the acid hypersaline environments of ...

Thermolytic degradation of methylmethionine and implications for its role in DMS and MeCl formation in hypersaline environments

, 2015
Environmental context Methyl chloride and dimethyl sulfide are important atmospheric trace gases, but their biogeochemical contributions to the atmosphere are not fully understood. The amino acid derivative methyl methionine has been hypothesised to be a

Microbial diversity and ecological roles of halophilic microorganisms in Dingbian (Shaanxi, China) saline-alkali soils and salt lakes

BMC Microbiology
Halophilic microorganisms abound in numerous hypersaline environments, such as salt lakes, salt mines, solar salterns, and salted seafood. In the northwest of Dingbian county (Shaanxi province, China), there exists a belt of hypersaline habitats ...

Archivory in hypersaline aquatic environments : haloarchaea as a dietary source for the brine shrimp Artemia

, 2019
Archaea have been the most overlooked and enigmatic of the three domains of life for decades. Knowledge of key ecological interactions, such as trophic links between this domain and higher level organisms, remains extremely limited.
