Microbiology of Lonar Lake and other soda lakes [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2012
Abstract Soda lakes are saline and alkaline ecosystems that are believed to have existed throughout the geological record of Earth. They are widely distributed across the globe, but are highly abundant in terrestrial biomes such as deserts and steppes and in geologically interesting regions such as the East African Rift valley.

Phylogenetic diversity of soda lake alkaliphiles [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 1996
16S rRNA genes from a range of aerobic chemoorganotrophic, alkaliphilic soda lake Bacteria and Archaea have been sequenced and subjected to phylogenetic analysis. Gram-negative alkaliphiles were found to be confined to the γ3 subdivision of the Proteobacteria, with many isolates related to the Halomonas/Deleya group.

Bacterial diversity of lonar soda lake of India. [PDF]

Indian J Microbiol, 2011
Total seventy four bacteria were isolated from Lonar soda lake of Maharashtra state, India. Eleven isolates were identified using morphological, biochemical and molecular analysis. The bacteria isolated belonged to phylum firmicutes and proteobacteria. Majorities (eight) were firmicutes and three were proteobacteria. For the first time we are reporting

Salinity-induced succession of phototrophic communities in a southwestern Siberian soda lake during the solar activity cycle [PDF]

Heliyon
A variety of lakes located in the dry steppe area of southwestern Siberia are exposed to rapid climatic changes, including intra-century cycles with alternating dry and wet phases driven by solar activity.
