Fungal Diversity and Composition of the Continental Solar Saltern in Añana Salt Valley (Spain)
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2021 The Añana Salt Valley in Spain is an active continental solar saltern formed 220 million years ago. To date, no fungal genomic studies of continental salterns have been published, although DNA metabarcoding has recently expanded researchers’ ability to ...

Archaeal Viruses Multiply: Temporal Screening in a Solar Saltern [PDF]
Viruses, 2015 Hypersaline environments around the world are dominated by archaea and their viruses. To date, very little is known about these viruses and their interaction with the host strains when compared to bacterial and eukaryotic viruses. We performed the first
