Fungal Diversity and Composition of the Continental Solar Saltern in Añana Salt Valley (Spain) [PDF]
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 ...

Patterns of microbial diversity along a salinity gradient in the Guerrero Negro solar saltern, Baja CA Sur, Mexico [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 The goal of this study was to use environmental sequencing of 16S rRNA and bop genes to compare the diversity of planktonic bacteria and archaea across ponds with increasing salinity in the Exportadora de Sal (ESSA) evaporative saltern in Guerrero Negro,

Isolation and Preliminary Characterization of Salt-Tolerant Polyhydroxyalkanoate-Producing Bacteria from the Hon Khoi Saltern, Khanh Hoa, Vietnam [PDF]
MicroorganismsPolyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable microbial polyesters that represent a promising sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. Salterns, hypersaline environments, are recognized as significant sources of halotolerant microorganisms ...

Borrelidins C–E: New Antibacterial Macrolides from a Saltern-Derived Halophilic Nocardiopsis sp.
Marine Drugs, 2017 Chemical investigation of a halophilic actinomycete strain belonging to the genus Nocardiopsis inhabiting a hypersaline saltern led to the discovery of new 18-membered macrolides with nitrile functionality, borrelidins C–E (1–3), along with a previously ...

Threats and Shifts in Microbial Communities of Salars Associated With Direct Lithium Extraction and Brine Reinjection. [PDF]
Glob ChallLithium for rechargeable batteries is increasingly extracted from brines in high‐Andean salars. Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies are promoted as sustainable alternatives to conventional evaporation ponds. This work explores how brine modification and reinjection may affect microbial communities and ecosystem functioning, highlighting the ...

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
