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 ...

Nature and Artificiality: in Search of a lost Harmony
Agathón, 2017 Maghreb’s desert, an eternal landscape of slow and irrational creation, or the Motya’s Salterns, geometrical landscape, logical and violent. Both landscapes capture our attention: the desert enhances nature, it is not susceptible to enduring changes and ...
