Diversity of Culturable Alkaliphilic Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria from a Soda Lake in the East African Rift Valley [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Lake Chitu is a highly productive soda lake found in the East African Rift Valley, where Arthrospira fusiformis (Spirulina platensis) is the main primary producer. High biomass accumulation requires an adequate supply of nitrogen.

A metagenomics roadmap to the uncultured genome diversity in hypersaline soda lake sediments [PDF]
Microbiome, 2018 Background Hypersaline soda lakes are characterized by extreme high soluble carbonate alkalinity. Despite the high pH and salt content, highly diverse microbial communities are known to be present in soda lake brines but the microbiome of soda lake ...

Porewater salinity reveals past lake-level changes in Lake Van, the Earth’s largest soda lake [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 In closed-basin lakes, sediment porewater salinity can potentially be used as a conservative tracer to reconstruct past fluctuations in lake level. However, until now, porewater salinity profiles did not allow quantitative estimates of past lake-level ...

Genomic Data Reveals Cryptic Diversity in the Soda Lake Cichlid Oreochromis amphimelas [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe cichlid fishes of East Africa are renowned for their rapid and species‐rich adaptive radiations. However, some specialist cichlid lineages in the region have not undergone extensive diversification; it is plausible that these lineages contain cryptic

Nitrogen Fixation and Anoxygenic Photosynthesis in Filamentous Non-Heterocystous Cyanobacterium of the Genus Sodalinema Isolated from Soda Lake [PDF]
PlantsSaline and highly alkaline soda lakes are often characterized by a persistent nitrogen loss and high sulfide levels. Cyanobacteria are key aerobic diazotrophs in soda lakes, where light-dependent nitrogen fixation (NF) is crucial for sustaining ecosystem
