Genomic Survey of Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenases Reveals Their Widespread Distribution in Marine Habitats. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepProtein sequence surveys show that nickel‐ and molybdenum/copper‐containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs) are widespread in the ocean. Phylogenetic and genome context analyses reveal that marine CODHs are highly diverse in both evolutionary history and functional organisation.

Virioplankton Community Structure in Tunisian Solar Salterns [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012 ABSTRACT The microbial community inhabiting Sfax solar salterns on the east coast of Tunisia has been studied by means of different molecular and culture-dependent tools that have unveiled the presence of novel microbial groups as well as a community structure different from that of other coastal hypersaline environments. We have

Halite crystallization at Sfax solar salterns, Tunisia, driven by brine geochemistry and biogeochemical interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologySolar salterns are hypersaline systems characterized by evaporation-driven salinity gradients that promote the precipitation of evaporite minerals. Here, we investigate the influence of halophilic microbial communities on halite crystallization along the

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,
