Saline Environments as a Source of Potential Quorum Sensing Disruptors to Control Bacterial Infections: A Review

Marine Drugs, 2019
Saline environments, such as marine and hypersaline habitats, are widely distributed around the world. They include sea waters, saline lakes, solar salterns, or hypersaline soils.

Sensing and Responding to Hypersaline Conditions and the HOG Signal Transduction Pathway in Fungi Isolated from Hypersaline Environments: Hortaea werneckii and Wallemia ichthyophaga

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Sensing and responding to changes in NaCl concentration in hypersaline environments is vital for cell survival. In this paper, we identified and characterized key components of the high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) signal transduction pathway, which is ...

Comparative Genomics of the Genus Methanohalophilus, Including a Newly Isolated Strain From Kebrit Deep in the Red Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Halophilic methanogens play an important role in the carbon cycle in hypersaline environments, but are under-represented in culture collections. In this study, we describe a novel Methanohalophilus strain that was isolated from the sulfide-rich brine ...

The association of group IIB intron with integrons in hypersaline environments

Mobile DNA, 2021
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.

Ecological significance of newly recorded halophilic Pharyngomonas kirbyi from two Korean solar salterns

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Background: Hypersaline environments (> 40 practical salinity units [PSU]) represent some of the most extreme conditions on Earth, supporting a variety of halophilic and halotolerant bacteria, archaea, and protists.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Sacrificial anode Fered–Fenton process for the degradation of a model naphthenic acid in high‐salinity water

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Fered–Fenton treatment of saline produced water: generation of reactive oxygen species and enhanced degradation of cyclohexane carboxylic acid through in‐situ electrochemical Fenton reactions. Abstract Offshore oilfield produced water (OPW) is a highly complex and hypersaline effluent from oil and gas extraction industry.
