Community respiration studies in saltern crystallizer ponds [PDF]

Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2009
To measure community respiration by the heterotrophic Archaea (dominated by Haloquadratum) and Bacteria (Salinibacter) in the NaCl-saturated crystallizer brines of the solar salterns in Eilat, Israel, and to obtain information on the substrates preferred by the community as energy sources, we used 2 complementary approaches: monitoring of changes in ...

White Is a New Shade of Blue Carbon: A Case Study of a Traditional Salt Production Pond That is a Net Carbon Sink

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

Morphology, Ultrastructure, and Classification of Barthelonids (Metamonada Incertae Sedis): With Descriptions of Microbarthelona Gen. Nov., and Parabarthelona Gen. Nov.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Barthelona is a genus of anaerobic flagellates that forms a sister lineage to Fornicata along with Skoliomonas. Although “Barthelona spp.” are known to separate into three distinct lineages, their detailed morphology has not been examined, and their taxonomic classification is incomplete.

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 913-926, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Low Water Activity Induces the Production of Bioactive Metabolites in Halophilic and Halotolerant Fungi

Marine Drugs, 2010
The aim of the present study was to investigate indigenous fungal communities isolated from extreme environments (hypersaline waters of solar salterns and subglacial ice), for the production of metabolic compounds with selected biological activities ...

Solar salterns as model systems to study the units of bacterial diversity that matter for ecosystem functioning [PDF]

, 2022
Microbial communities often harbor overwhelming species and gene diversity, making it challenging to determine the important units to study this diversity. We argue that the reduced, and thus tractable, microbial diversity of manmade salterns provides an

Airborne Halophilic and Non‐Halophilic Microbial Communities in an Underground Salt Mine Affected by Seasonal Environmental Fluctuations

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while

Draft genome of Haloarcula rubripromontorii strain SL3, a novel halophilic archaeon isolated from the solar salterns of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

Genomics Data, 2016
The genus Haloarcula belongs to the family Halobacteriaceae which currently has 10 valid species. Here we report the draft genome sequence of strain SL3, a new species within this genus, isolated from the Solar Salterns of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.

Extreme Salinity Change Governs Microbial Community Assembly and Interactions

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Along the Coorong Lagoon's extreme salinity gradient, hypersalinity deterministically enriches halophilic specialists and reorganises sediment microbial networks. Network complexity peaks at salinity extremes, revealing pivotal ecological trade‐offs that will steer nutrient cycling and lagoon resilience as coastal wetland salinisation accelerates ...

GATHERING THE HARVEST: THE COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE IN ROMAN CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 68-92, February 2026.
Summary When Rome colonized Britain, it created a transport network spanning the province. This transformed the Iron Age economy, creating large new markets which in turn supported specialized manufacturing. This article explores the impact of transportation on Roman agriculture – the core of the Romano‐British economy.
