Isolation of Halophilic and Halotolerant Bacterial Strains, Screening for Bioactive Compounds and Characterisation of Metabolites Produced by Pseudoalteromonas sp. ASV78

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
A collection of 150 bacterial isolates from a continental saltern dominated by Pseudomonadota revealed 20 antimicrobial producers and 14 isolates with emulsifying and surface tension reducing properties. The strain ASV78 produces pentabromopseudilin and bromophene, which are active against Gram‐positive pathogens, as well as a glycolipid‐type ...

The role of refluxing deep hypersaline brines and evaporite precipitation dynamics in the Castile Formation and marginal carbonate strata (Delaware Basin, USA)

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 829-856, June 2025.
The Upper Permian Castile Formation of the Delaware Basin, a 515.3 m (1690.6 ft) thick deep‐water evaporitic sequence dominated by anhydrite and halite, is the focus of this study. This study's sedimentological and geochemical analysis of cores from the basin's centre and margin reveals that dynamic reflux of deep hypersaline brines significantly ...

Exploring Microbiological Dynamics in a Salt Cavern for Potential Hydrogen Storage Use

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2025.
Hydrogen storage in subsurface salt caverns is vital for the energy transition. These caverns are not sterile, as they contain a diverse microbial world. Our research found Bacteria and Archaea thriving on hydrogen and other nutrients in this extreme environment.

Use of a mixed culture strategy to isolate halophilic bacteria with antibacterial and cytotoxic activity from the Manaure solar saltern in Colombia

BMC Microbiology, 2017
Background Water evaporation in solar salterns creates salinity gradients that promote the adaptation of microbial species to different salinities. This competitive habitat challenges the metabolic capabilities of microorganisms and promotes alterations ...
