Glycerol metabolism in hypersaline environments [PDF]
Summary Glycerol is a key compound for the understanding of the microbiology of hypersaline environments. At the highest salt concentrations the main or even sole primary producer is the green unicellular alga Dunaliella , which uses photosynthetically produced glycerol as ...

The first metazoa living in permanently anoxic conditions [PDF]
Background Several unicellular organisms (prokaryotes and protozoa) can live under permanently anoxic conditions. Although a few metazoans can survive temporarily in the absence of oxygen, it is believed that multi-cellular organisms cannot spend their ...

Advanced Strategies of Salt Blocking in the Hypersaline Water. [PDF]
Advanced strategies of salt blocking in hypersaline water—including hydrophobic, unidirectional brine transportation, dissolution migration, edge crystallization, siphon capillary effect, and zwitterionic effect. ABSTRACT In the past decade, due to high consumption of freshwater and severe drought on the earth, human beings have experienced an ...

Differences in lateral gene transfer in hypersaline versus thermal environments [PDF]
Background The role of lateral gene transfer (LGT) in the evolution of microorganisms is only beginning to be understood. While most LGT events occur between closely related individuals, inter-phylum and inter-domain LGT events are not uncommon.
