Prokaryotic diversity of a Tunisian multipond solar saltern

Extremophiles, 2008
16S 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.

Salmonella mutagenicity analysis of water samples from Çamaltı saltern

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2007
Mutagenicity analysis of water samples from Camalti Saltern, Turkey were investigated by applying Salmonella mutagenicity test. Plate incorporation assay was applied in the absence of metabolic activation. XAD 4 and XAD 16 columns were used for the fractionation of the water samples. The results obtained were negative in both TA 98 and TA 100. Although

Comparative metabolic diversity in two solar salterns

Hydrobiologia, 2001
The 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 ...

Novel archaeal phylotypes from an East African alkaline saltern

Extremophiles, 1999
DNA has been extracted on site from the brines of the final crystallizing pond of an alkaline saltern at Lake Magadi, Kenya. Amplification of 16S rRNA genes followed by cloning, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis has revealed the presence of two distinct new archaeal lineages. The majority of cloned sequences showed greater than 95% identity to each

Halomonas beimenensis sp. nov., isolated from an abandoned saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2012
A Gram-staining negative, motile, non-spore-forming, short rod-shaped (0.8–1.5×1.5–2.0 µm), halophilic bacterium, designated strain NTU-107T, was isolated from brine samples collected from the abandoned Beimen saltern in southern Taiwan. The novel strain grew with 0–15 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum between 5 % and 10 %), at 15–55 °C (optimum 40 °C) and at pH 5.

Frequent Recombination in a Saltern Population of Halorubrum

Science, 2004
Sex 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 ...

Cyclobacterium jeungdonense sp. nov., isolated from a solar saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2014
A horseshoe-shaped, orange-pigmented strain, HMD3055T, was isolated from a solar saltern in Korea. Strain HMD3055T grew optimally at 25 °C and with a salt concentration of 3–5 %. The predominant quinone of strain HMD3055T was menaquinone (MK)-7. The major fatty acids of strain HMD3055T were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω6c and/or ...

The saltern mounds of north-east Lincolnshire

Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society, 1986
SUMMARY 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 ...

Natronomonas gomsonensis sp. nov., isolated from a solar saltern

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2013
A halophilic archaeal strain, SA3(T), was isolated from sediment of a solar saltern in Gomso Bay, Republic of Korea. Cells of strain SA3(T) were observed to be coccoid-shaped, to lyse in distilled water, Gram stain-negative and to form red-pigmented colonies. Strain SA3(T) was found to require at least 18 % (w/v) NaCl for growth.

Echinicola jeungdonensis sp. nov., isolated from a solar saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2011
A non-motile and yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated strain HMD3054T, was isolated from a solar saltern in Jeungdo, Republic of Korea. The major fatty acids of strain HMD3054T were iso-C15 : 0 (31.4 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (23.5 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (14.2 %), summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c; 6.9 %) and summed feature 9 ...
