Prokaryotic diversity of a Tunisian multipond solar saltern
Extremophiles, 200816S rRNA gene clone libraries were separately constructed from three ponds with different salt concentrations, M2 (15%), TS38 (25%) and S5 (32%), located within a multipond solar saltern of Sfax. The 16S rRNA genes from 216 bacterial clones and 156 archaeal clones were sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed.

Streptomyces boncukensis sp. nov., isolated from saltern soil
Archives of Microbiology, 2020A novel Gram-stain positive, aerobic, non-motile Actinobacterium, designated strain SB3404T, was isolated from saltern soil collected from Boncuk Saltern, Sungurlu-Çorum, Turkey, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The organism has shown to have phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties consistent with its ...

Frequent Recombination in a Saltern Population of Halorubrum
Science, 2004Sex and recombination are driving forces in the evolution of eukaryotes. Homologous recombination is known to be the dominant process in the divergence of many bacterial species. For Archaea, the only direct evidence bearing on the importance or natural occurrence of homologous recombination is anecdotal reports of mosaicism from comparative genomic ...

Microbial Diversity in Athalassohaline Argentinean Salterns
2020Hypersaline environments are considered to be hostile environments due to their extreme conditions, such as high salinity and temperature. However, unicellular organisms from the three domains of life—Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya—are present in high numbers in these habitats where salt precipitation occurs due to saturation.

The Geology of the Saltern Cove Area, Torbay
Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, 1927The small complex of Lower, Middle, and Upper Devonian rocks which occupies a mile by half a mile, immediately south of Paignton, lies between Goodrington and Broadsands. The sequence and structure are well seen in the cliffs and the railway-cutting, but farther inland there is a lack of good exposures.

The saltern mounds of north-east Lincolnshire
Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society, 1986SUMMARY Mapping of the waste mounds left by the old coastal salt industry in north-east Lincolnshire has shown that they cover about 8.4 km 2 between Humberston and Saltfleet. They are located close to the line of the medieval sea-wall and associated storm beaches of sand and shingle, but mostly appear to ...

On the red coloration of saltern crystallizer ponds
International Journal of Salt Lake Research, 1992To assess, respectively, the contribution of red bacteria of theHalobacterium-Haloferax-Haloarcula group and of the β-carotene-rich green algaDunaliella salina to the red colour of saltern crystallizer ponds, we studied the optical properties of the brines of NaCl-saturated saltern ponds in Eilat, Israel, and quantified the pigments present in their ...

Haloarchaeal communities in the crystallizers of two adriatic solar salterns
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2007Solar salterns operate only for short dry periods of the year in the north shore of the Adriatic Sea because of its relatively humid and cold Mediterranean climate. In a previous paper, we showed that the NaCl precipitation ponds (crystallizers) of Northern Adriatic Sečovlje salterns have different haloarchaeal populations from those typically found in

Comparative metabolic diversity in two solar salterns
Hydrobiologia, 2001The purpose of this study was to compare the metabolic diversity of the whole microbial community in an oligotrophic saltern (Eilat, Israel) and in a saltern with a more enriched source water (Newark, California). Between 1993 and 1998 water samples were taken from selected locations within the solar salterns of the Cargill Solar Salt Plant, Newark ...

Trophic Ecology of Solar Salterns
2004Multi-pond solar salterns provide a range of environments with different salinities, from that of seawater up to sodium chloride saturation and sometimes even further. The two extremes provide one of the most common habitats in the world (seawater) and one of the most extreme habitats in the world (calcium and magnesium chloride saturated brines). This
