Population and genomic analysis of the genus Halorubrum [PDF]
, 2014 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

Borrelidin from Saltern-Derived Halophilic sp. Dissociates Amyloid- and Tau Fibrils
Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports, 2021 Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the aggregation of two pathological proteins, amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau, leading to neuronal and cognitive dysfunction. Clearance of either Aβ or tau aggregates by immunotherapy has become a potential

Retinal-binding proteins mirror prokaryotic dynamics in multipond solar salterns [PDF]
, 2015 Microbial opsin (i.e. retinal-binding protein) dynamics has been studied along a salinity gradient in Santa Pola solar salterns (Alicante, Spain) by using culture-independent approaches and statistical analyses.

Diversity of halophilic archaea in the crystallizers of an Adriatic solar saltern [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2005 Haloarchaeal diversity in the crystallizers of Adriatic Secovlje salterns was investigated using gene fragments encoding 16S rRNA and bacteriorhodopsin as molecular markers. Screening of 180 clones from five gene libraries constructed for each gene targeted revealed 15 different 16S rRNA and 10 different bacteriorhodopsin phylotypes, indicating higher ...

Early evolution of purple retinal pigments on Earth and implications for exoplanet biosignatures
, 2018 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.

From community approaches to single-cell genomics: the discovery of ubiquitous hyperhalophilic Bacteroidetes generalists [PDF]
, 2014 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.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract To address for the first time the carbon budget of traditional salterns, we measured the diel, seasonal, and spatial variability of water‐air CO2‐eq fluxes (CH4 and CO2) and the Organic Carbon (OC) stock and burial rate in the sediment. Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH and wind were assessed as potential environmental drivers of the

A Taxonomic Study of Heterotrophic Halophilic and Non- halophilic Bacteria from a Solar Saltern [PDF]
, 1987 A total of 564 strains of heterotrophic non-halophilic, marine, moderately halophilic and extremely halophilic bacteria was isolated from a saltern located near Huelva, SW Spain, facing the Atlantic Ocean.
