Solar Salterns and Pollution: Valorization of Some Endemic Species as Sentinels in Ecotoxicology [PDF]
Toxics, 2023 Solar salterns and salt marshes are unique ecosystems with special physicochemical features and characteristic biota. Currently, there are very few studies focused on the impacts of pollution on these economic and ecological systems.

Spatio-Temporal Variation of the Bacterial Communities Along a Salinity Gradient Within a Thalassohaline Environment (Saline Di Tarquinia Salterns, Italy) [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 The “Saline di Tarquinia” salterns have been scarcely investigated regarding their microbiological aspects. This work studied the structure and composition of their bacterial communities along the salinity gradient (from the nearby sea through different ...

Culture-Dependent Bioprospecting of Halophilic Microorganisms from Portuguese Salterns [PDF]
MicroorganismsExtreme hypersaline environments harbour a unique biodiversity capable of surviving in such habitats, including halophilic and halotolerant bacteria. Microbial adaptations to these environments comprehend two main strategies: the “salt-in” that involves ...

Determining virus-host interactions and glycerol metabolism profiles in geographically diverse solar salterns with metagenomics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Solar salterns are excellent model ecosystems for studying virus-microbial interactions because of their low microbial diversity, environmental stability, and high viral density.

Taxonomic Profiling of Microorganisms Inhabiting Two Solar Salterns that Produce High- and Low-Quality Salts [PDF]
Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2023 The contribution of halophilic microorganisms to the quality of salts produced in solar salterns has recently been recognized but not clearly understood. Using metagenomic 16S rRNA gene sequencing approach, we showed the microbial composition difference

Phylogenetic appraisal of antagonistic, slow growing actinomycetes isolated from hypersaline inland solar salterns at Sambhar salt Lake, India [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Inland solar salterns established in the vicinity of Sambhar Lake are extreme saline environments with high salinity and alkalinity. In view of the fact that microbes inhabiting such extreme saline environments flourish the contemporary bioprospecting ...
