Hydrocarbon Biodegradation in Hypersaline Environments [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1978 When mineral oil, hexadecane, and glutamate were added to natural samples of varying salinity (3.3 to 28.4%) from salt evaporation ponds and Great Salt Lake, Utah, rates of metabolism of these compounds decreased as salinity increased.

Viral Assemblages of a Hypersaline Estuary Show Divergent Responses to Freshwater and Temperature Disturbances. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepMetagenomic assessment of viromes at two sites in Laguna Madre, a hypersaline estuary, showed unique viral communities. Extreme cold temperature changes showed a greater propensity to enrich AMGs toward oxidative phosphorylation and sulfur metabolism. Extreme shifts in salinity led to homogenized viral taxonomic groups more similar to those typically ...

The metavirome of a hypersaline environment
Environmental Microbiology, 2010 Summary Hypersaline environments harbour the highest number of virus‐like particles reported for planktonic systems. However, very little is known about the genomic diversity of these virus assemblages since most of the knowledge on halophages is based on the analysis of a few isolates infecting strains of ...

Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in hypersaline environments [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2012 Literature on hydrocarbon degradation in extreme hypersaline media presents studies that point to a negative effect of salinity increase on hydrocarbonoclastic activity, while several others report an opposite tendency. Based on information available in the literature, we present a discussion on the reasons that justify these contrary results.

Anaerobic bacteria from hypersaline environments [PDF]
Microbiological Reviews, 1994 Strictly anaerobic halophiles, namely fermentative, sulfate-reducing, homoacetogenic, phototrophic, and methanogenic bacteria are involved in the oxidation of organic carbon in hypersaline environments. To date, six anaerobic fermentative genera, containing nine species, have been described. Two of them are homoacetogens.

Microorganisms, 2023 Knowledge regarding the diversity of methanogenic archaeal communities in hypersaline environments is limited because of the lack of efficient cultivation efforts as well as their low abundance and metabolic activities.

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 ...
