Metagenomic insights into microbial adaptation to the salinity gradient of a typical short residence-time estuary. [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Microbial adaptation to salinity has been a classic inquiry in the field of microbiology. It has been demonstrated that microorganisms can endure salinity stress via either the “salt-in” strategy, involving inorganic ion uptake, or the “salt ...

Stability analysis of an industrial salinity gradient solar pond
Solar Energy, 2019 In this study, an assessment of salinity gradient stability of an industrial solar pond during two operation seasons (2014 and 2105) is presented. An industrial solar pond was constructed to supply a low-temperature heat (up to 60 °C) to achieve the ...
