Heterotrophic Protists in Hypersaline Microbial Mats and Deep Hypersaline Basin Water Columns
Life, 2013 Although hypersaline environments pose challenges to life because of the low water content (water activity), many such habitats appear to support eukaryotic microbes.

Halorubrum chaoviator sp. nov., a haloarchaeon isolated from sea salt in Baja California, Mexico, Western Australia and Naxos, Greece [PDF]
, 2009 hree halophilic isolates, strains Halo-G*T, AUS-1 and Naxos II, were compared. Halo-G* was isolated from an evaporitic salt crystal from Baja California, Mexico, whereas AUS-1 and Naxos II were isolated from salt pools in Western Australia and the Greek ...

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,

From Metagenomics to Pure Culture: Isolation and Characterization of the Moderately Halophilic Bacterium Spiribacter salinus gen. nov., sp. nov. [PDF]
, 2014 Recent metagenomic studies on saltern ponds with intermediate salinities have determined that their microbial communities are dominated by both Euryarchaeota and halophilic bacteria, with a gammaproteobacterium closely related to the genera ...

Community respiration studies in saltern crystallizer ponds [PDF]
Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2009 To measure community respiration by the heterotrophic Archaea (dominated by Haloquadratum) and Bacteria (Salinibacter) in the NaCl-saturated crystallizer brines of the solar salterns in Eilat, Israel, and to obtain information on the substrates preferred by the community as energy sources, we used 2 complementary approaches: monitoring of changes in ...

Metagenome sequencing of prokaryotic microbiota from two hypersaline ponds of a marine saltern in Santa Pola, Spain [PDF]
, 2013 Marine salterns are composed of several shallow ponds with a salinity gradient, from seawater to salt saturation, with gradually changing microbial populations. Here, we report the metagenome sequencing of the prokaryotic microbiota of two ponds with 13%
