Trophic Ecology of Solar Salterns
2004Multi-pond solar salterns provide a range of environments with different salinities, from that of seawater up to sodium chloride saturation and sometimes even further. The two extremes provide one of the most common habitats in the world (seawater) and one of the most extreme habitats in the world (calcium and magnesium chloride saturated brines). This

Chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments in solar saltern microbial mats
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1994The distributions of carotenoids, chlorophylls, and their degradation products have been studied in two microbial mat systems developed in the calcite and calcite/gypsum evaporite domains of a solar saltern system. Phormidium valderianum and Microcoleus chthonoplastes are the dominant cyanobacterial species, respectively, and large amounts of ...

Prokaryotic genetic diversity throughout the salinity gradient of a coastal solar saltern
Environmental Microbiology, 2002Summary Bacterial and archaeal assemblages have been studied in a multipond solar saltern using a range of microbial ecology techniques by four laboratories simultaneously. These include 16S rDNA sequencing from both denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and clone libraries, and culturing methods.

Haloarchaeobius amylolyticus sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern
Archives of Microbiology, 2015Halophilic archaeal strain XD48(T) was isolated from a Chinese marine solar saltern. Cells were pleomorphic, stained Gram-negative and formed red-pigmented colonies on solid media. Strain XD48(T) was found to be able to grow at 25-50 °C (optimum 37 °C), at 0.9-4.8 M NaCl (optimum 3.1 M NaCl), at 0-1.0 M MgCl2 (optimum 0.3 MgCl2) and at pH 5.0-9.5 ...

Prokaryotic community profiles at different operational stages of a Greek solar saltern
Research in Microbiology, 2008A combination of culture-dependent and independent approaches was employed to identify the microbial community structure in a Greek solar saltern. A total of 219 and 132 isolates belonging, respectively, to Bacteria and Archaea, were recovered. All bacterial isolates were phylogenetically related to 43 members of Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and gamma ...

Halorussus salinus sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern
Archives of Microbiology, 2016A halophilic archaeal strain YJ-37-HT was isolated from Yangjiang marine solar saltern, China. Cells were pleomorphic rods, stained Gram negative and formed red-pigmented colonies on agar plate. Strain YJ-37-HT was able to grow at 20-50 °C (optimum 37 °C), at 0.9-4.8 M NaCl (optimum 2.6 M NaCl), at 0-1.0 M MgCl2 (optimum 0.3 MgCl2) and at pH 6.5-9.0 ...

How to Square Microbial life in Solar Salterns
Microbial communities in hypersaline crystallizer ponds are amongst one of the best studied microbial ecosystems. Investigation of these extreme environments followed the scientific and technological developments in the past 50 + years ranging from the initial microscopy observations up to state-of-the-art molecular tools that have now become common ...openaire +1 more source
Winogradskyella aurantia sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2017A Gram-stain negative, non-flagellated, facultatively anaerobic, slightly halophilic bacterium, WNB302T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Wendeng, China (122°0'38.85″E, 36°57'56.49″N). Cells of strain WNB302T were 0.2-0.7 µm wide and 2.0-10.0 µm long, catalase- positive and oxidase-negative. Colonies were opaque, orange and approximately 1.0-
