Archaeal Viruses Multiply: Temporal Screening in a Solar Saltern [PDF]

Viruses, 2015
Hypersaline environments around the world are dominated by archaea and their viruses. To date, very little is known about these viruses and their interaction with the host strains when compared to bacterial and eukaryotic viruses. We performed the first

Microbial mats and physicochemistry in a saltern in the Bretagne (France) and in a laboratory scale saltern model [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1989
A saltern near La Baule (Bretagne, France) was remodeled in a programmable temperature and humidity controlled walk-in environmental chamber resembling the characteristics of the original saltern. The saltern showed different types of microbial mats predominantly composed of algae, oxy- and anoxyphotobacteria, and associated chemoorganotrophic bacteria,

Methanogenesis in a saltern in the Bretagne (France) [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1989
Salterns in the Bretagne (France), exhibiting different stages of salinity of 5% to 33% evolved up to 0.7 mmol methane per m2 per day. Methane concentrations of up to 0.4 mM were found. High methane evolution rates and increased methane concetration were restricted to basins of up to 7% and more than 15% salinity, and to the upper 10 cm of the ...

Isolation and characterization of halophilic isolates from Indian salterns and their screening for production of hydrolytic enzymes

Environmental Challenges, 2022
Bacterial halophiles are unicellular organisms that can withstand a variety of stresses, and since the hydrolytic enzymes generate are typically stable, specific, and usable under high salinity, extreme temperature, wave action, and tide fluctuation ...
