Denitrification in hypersaline and coastal environments [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2023 Abstract As the association of denitrification with global warming and nitrogen removal from ecosystems has gained attention in recent decades, numerous studies have examined denitrification rates and the distribution of denitrifiers across different environments.

The association of group IIB intron with integrons in hypersaline environments. [PDF]
Mob DNA, 2021 Abstract Background: Group II introns are mobile genetic elements used as efficient gene targeting tools. They function as both ribozymes and retroelements. Group IIC introns are the only class reported so far to be associated with integrons. In order to identify group II introns linked with integrons and CALINS (cluster of attC sites lacking a

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.

Microbial diversity of hypersaline environments: a metagenomic approach
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2015 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 ...

Methanogens and Methanogenesis in Hypersaline Environments
, 2010 Methanogenesis in hypersaline environments is determined by redox potential and permanency of anaerobic conditions, and by the concentration of other terminal electron acceptors, particularly sulfate, because sulfate-reducing bacteria have a greater affinity than methanogens for competitive substrates like hydrogen and acetate.

Conodonts in Silurian hypersaline environments: Specialized and unexpectedly diverse
Geology, 2017 Abstract Hypersaline environments are commonly assumed to be barren of metazoans and therefore are avoided by paleontologists, yet a number of early Paleozoic jawless vertebrate groups specialized to live in such settings. Sampling bias against restricted settings resulted in substantial underestimation of their diversity.

Efficient recycling of nutrients in modern and past hypersaline environments. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 The biogeochemistry of hypersaline environments is strongly influenced by changes in biological processes and physicochemical parameters. Although massive evaporation events have occurred repeatedly throughout Earth history, their biogeochemical cycles ...

Molecular and phylogenetic analysis reveals new diversity of Dunaliella salina from hypersaline environments [PDF]
, 2021 Twelve hyper-β carotene-producing strains of algae assigned to the genus Dunaliella salina have been isolated from various hypersaline environments in Israel, South Africa, Namibia and Spain.

Preservation of ATP in Hypersaline Environments [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987 High concentrations of particulate ATP were found in the anoxic brines of the Orca Basin and East Flower Garden, Gulf of Mexico. Other measurements indicative of growth and respiration suggested that the microbial community in the brines was inactive, but somehow the ATP associated with the cells persisted.
