Marinobacter szutsaonensis sp. nov., isolated from a solar saltern [PDF]
A Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, halophilic bacterial strain, NTU-104(T), was isolated from the Szutsao saltern in southern Taiwan, which was previously used as salt production field. The novel isolate grew optimally at 35-40 degrees C, at pH 7.5-8.0 and in the presence of 5 % (w/v) NaCl.

Salt is an essential nutrient for humans, and salterns exist worldwide. Although the construction of salterns has stopped and typical salterns are now mostly abandoned, there has been no research on the ecological recovery of the abandoned salterns. Here,

From community approaches to single-cell genomics: the discovery of ubiquitous hyperhalophilic Bacteroidetes generalists [PDF]
The microbiota of multi-pond solar salterns around the world has been analyzed using a variety of culture-dependent and molecular techniques. However, studies addressing the dynamic nature of these systems are very scarce.

Differences in gene expression patterns between cultured and natural Haloquadratum walsbyi ecotypes
Solar crystallizer ponds are characterized by high population density with a relatively simple community structure in terms of species composition. The microbial community in the solar saltern of Santa Pola (Alicante, Spain), is largely dominated by the ...

Population and genomic analysis of the genus Halorubrum [PDF]
The Halobacteria are known to engage in frequent gene transfer and homologous recombination. For stably diverged lineages to persist some checks on the rate of between lineage recombination must exist. We surveyed a group of isolates from the Aran-Bidgol

Virgibacillus campisalis sp. nov., from a marine solar saltern [PDF]
A Gram-staining-variable, motile, endospore-forming and rod-shaped bacterial strain, IDS-20T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. Strain IDS-20T grew optimally at 37 °C, at pH 7.5–8.0 and in the presence of 4–5 % (w/v) NaCl.

Salinicoccus amylolyticus sp. nov., isolated from a saltern
A Gram-stain-positive coccus, strain JC304T, was isolated from a saltern of Nari along the Bhavnagar Coast, Gujarat, India. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and sequence comparison data indicated that JC304T represented a member of the genus Salinicoccus and was most closely related to Salinicoccus roseus 9T (99.6 %), Salinicoccus luteus YIM 70202T (

Early evolution of purple retinal pigments on Earth and implications for exoplanet biosignatures
We propose that retinal-based phototrophy arose early in the evolution of life on Earth, profoundly impacting the development of photosynthesis and creating implications for the search for life beyond our planet.
