A preliminary report on bacterial diversity in solar salterns located at the Gulf of Khambhat, India using 16S amplicon sequencing

Heliyon
In recent years it has become pivotal to study the community composition of an environment to understand the role of microorganisms in it. The saline soils harbour prokaryotic microbiota that adapted to high concentrations of salt and are an interesting ...

Fungal colonization of the roots of selected halophytes from Sečovlje salterns

Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2007
To reveal their mycotrophic status, we have here analysed the fungal colonisation of the roots, and the identity of these fungi, of the most abundant halophytic plant species from Sečovlje salterns (Slovenia): Aster tripolium, Limonium angustifolium and

The role of refluxing deep hypersaline brines and evaporite precipitation dynamics in the Castile Formation and marginal carbonate strata (Delaware Basin, USA)

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 829-856, June 2025.
The Upper Permian Castile Formation of the Delaware Basin, a 515.3 m (1690.6 ft) thick deep‐water evaporitic sequence dominated by anhydrite and halite, is the focus of this study. This study's sedimentological and geochemical analysis of cores from the basin's centre and margin reveals that dynamic reflux of deep hypersaline brines significantly ...

Distribution of phytoplankton and artemia in the solar salterns at Tuticorin [PDF]

Current World Environment, 2006
Salt pan ecosystem of Tuticorin was studied for the distribution of Phytoplankton in two condenser ponds in a particular station, where artemia population was very high. This was monitored for one year in two ponds. Physico chemical parameters were also studied. The population of Bacillariophyceae dominated during monsoon season. Chlorophyceae was high

Exploring Microbiological Dynamics in a Salt Cavern for Potential Hydrogen Storage Use

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2025.
Hydrogen storage in subsurface salt caverns is vital for the energy transition. These caverns are not sterile, as they contain a diverse microbial world. Our research found Bacteria and Archaea thriving on hydrogen and other nutrients in this extreme environment.

New Cyclic Lipopeptides of the Iturin Class Produced by Saltern-Derived Bacillus sp. KCB14S006

Marine Drugs, 2016
Salterns, one of the most extreme natural hypersaline environments, are a rich source of halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms, but they remain largely underexplored ecological niches in the discovery of bioactive secondary metabolites. In continued

The effect of the application of halotolerant microorganisms on the efficiency of a pilot-scale constructed wetland for saline wastewater treatment [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2010
In order to find the optimal design characteristics of constructed wetlands for saline wastewater treatment, halotolerant microorganisms, isolated from the water of the Sečovlje salterns, were inoculated into the media of a pilot-scale constructed ...
