Physicochemical Analysis of Lake Chitu: The Origin of Arthrospira Plantesis

International Journal of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, 2023
Chitu is a unique poly-extreme soda lake with high alkalinity and salinity that supports Arthrospira plantesis inhabitation. In this study, the physical parameters, chemical analysis, and some heavy metal contents in Lake Chitu were determined using flam

Autotrophic microbial arsenotrophy in arsenic-rich soda lakes [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2017
A number of prokaryotes are capable of employing arsenic oxy-anions as either electron acceptors [arsenate; As(V)] or electron donors [arsenite; As(III)] to sustain arsenic-dependent growth ('arsenotrophy'). A subset of these microorganisms function as either chemoautotrophs or photoautotrophs, whereby they gain sufficient energy from their redox ...

Microbial diversity and biogeochemical cycling in soda lakes [PDF]

Extremophiles, 2014
Soda lakes contain high concentrations of sodium carbonates resulting in a stable elevated pH, which provide a unique habitat to a rich diversity of haloalkaliphilic bacteria and archaea. Both cultivation-dependent and -independent methods have aided the identification of key processes and genes in the microbially mediated carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur ...

High concentrations of dissolved biogenic methane associated with cyanobacterial blooms in East African lake surface water

Communications Biology, 2021
Fazi et al. report on an extraordinarily high biogenic methane concentration detected in the surface water of Lake Sonachi, Kenya. Using gas chromatography and microbiome profiling, they determine that these high concentrations are associated with ...

Abundant Taxa and Favorable Pathways in the Microbiome of Soda-Saline Lakes in Inner Mongolia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Soda-saline lakes are a special type of alkaline lake in which the chloride concentration is greater than the carbonate/bicarbonate concentration. Due to the high pH and a usually higher osmotic pressure than that of a normal soda lake, the microbes may ...

Methanogenesis in Big Soda Lake, Nevada: an Alkaline, Moderately Hypersaline Desert Lake [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1982
Incubated sediment slurries from Big Soda Lake, Nevada, produced significant levels of CH 4 , and production was inhibited by 2-bromoethanesulfonic acid and by autoclaving. Methane production was stimulated by methanol, trimethylamine, and, to a lesser extent, methionine. Surprisingly, hydrogen, acetate, and formate

Exploration of microbial diversity and community structure of Lonar Lake: the only hypersaline meteorite crater lake within basalt rock

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Lonar Lake is a hypersaline and hyperalkaline soda lake and the only meteorite impact crater in the world created in the basalt rocks. Although culture-dependent studies have been reported, the comprehensive understanding of microbial community ...

Mineral Vesicles and Chemical Gardens from Carbonate-Rich Alkaline Brines of Lake Magadi, Kenya

Crystals, 2020
Mineral vesicles and chemical gardens are self-organized biomimetic structures that form via abiotic mineral precipitation. These membranous structures are known to catalyze prebiotic reactions but the extreme conditions required for their synthesis has ...

Draft Genome Sequence of Dietzia sp. Strain UCD-THP (Phylum Actinobacteria). [PDF]

, 2013
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of an actinobacterium, Dietzia sp. strain UCD-THP, isolated from a residential toilet handle. The assembly contains 3,915,613 bp. The genome sequences of only two other Dietzia species have been published, those
