Actinopolyspora saharensis sp. nov., a novel halophilic actinomycete isolated from a Saharan soil of Algeria [PDF]

, 2012
A novel halophilic actinomycete, strain H32T,was isolated froma Saharan soil sample collected in El-Oued province, south Algeria. The isolate was characterized by means of polyphasic taxonomy. Optimal growth was determined to occur at 28–32°C, pH 6.0–7.0

Jannaschia formosa sp. nov., isolated from marine saltern sediment

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019
A novel blush-red-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, gliding, aerobic and rod- or oval-shaped bacterium, designated strain 12N15T, was isolated from sediment sampled at a marine saltern located in Wendeng, China (36° 59' 56.49″ N, 122° 1' 38.84″ E). Growth was observed at 10-40 °C (optimum, 28 °C), in 1.0-12.0 % NaCl (2.0-5.0 %, w/v) and at pH 6.0-9.5 (pH

Conventional and innovative approaches to black fungi control for stone heritage preservation

IUBMB Life, Volume 77, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Black Meristematic Fungi (BMF) are characterized by a thick melanized cell wall and an isodiametric cellular expansion. BMF represent one of the most damaging groups of microorganisms causing the deterioration of outdoor exposed stone monuments mainly due to the formation of dark spots and patches leading to the darkening of their surface ...

Impacts of restoration of an uncontrolled phosphogypsum dumpsite on the seasonal distribution of abiotic variables, phytoplankton, copepods, and ciliates in a man-made solar saltern [PDF]

, 2012
International audienceThe restoration of an uncontrolled phosphogypsum landfill was investigated for its effects on the seasonal distribution of phytoplankton, ciliates, and copepods. Sampling was carried out monthly from September 2007 to August 2008 at

Elevated δ15N Linked to Inhibited Nitrification Coupled to Ammonia Volatilization in Sediments of Shallow Alkaline‐Hypersaline Lakes

Geobiology, Volume 23, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT Alkaline lakes are among the most bioproductive aquatic ecosystems on Earth. The factors that ultimately limit productivity in these systems can vary, but nitrogen (N) cycling in particular has been shown to be adversely affected by high salinity, evidently due to the inhibition of nitrifying bacteria (i.e., those that convert ammonic species ...

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis of virus assemblages present in a hypersaline environment [PDF]

, 2010
A method for analyzing virus assemblages in aquatic environments was developed and used for studying the highest-salinity ponds (from 13.4 to 35% salinity) from a multi-pond solar saltern in Alicante, Spain.

Genotypic and Lipid Analyses of Strains From the Archaeal Genus Halorubrum Reveal Insights Into Their Taxonomy, Divergence, and Population Structure [PDF]

, 2018
To gain a better understanding of how divergence occurs, and how taxonomy can benefit from studying natural populations, we isolated and examined 25 closely related Halorubrum strains obtained from different hypersaline communities and compared them to ...

Lentibacillus sediminis sp. nov., isolated from a marine saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
A novel, Gram-stain-positive, moderately halophilic, endospore-forming, motile, facultatively anaerobic and rod-shaped strain, designated 0W14T, was isolated from a marine saltern of Wendeng, China. Optimal growth occurred at 37 °C, pH 7.5 and with 6.0 % (w/v) NaCl.
