Salterns are hypersaline extreme environments with unique physicochemical properties such as a salinity gradient. Although the investigation of microbiota in salterns has focused on archaea and bacteria, diverse fungi also thrive in the brine and soil of salterns.

Solar salterns are constructed as shallow multi-pond systems for the production of halite through evaporation of seawater. The main feature of salterns is the discontinuous salinity gradient that provides a range of well-defined habitats with increasing salinities, from moderate to hypersaline.

Salterns provide special living conditions for microorganisms. They are extreme environments because of high concentrations of NaCl and other salts, occasional rapid changes in water activity, low oxygen concentration, and high UV radiation (Brock 1979).

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.

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
