Archaeal Viruses Multiply: Temporal Screening in a Solar Saltern [PDF]
Viruses, 2015 Hypersaline environments around the world are dominated by archaea and their viruses. To date, very little is known about these viruses and their interaction with the host strains when compared to bacterial and eukaryotic viruses. We performed the first

Natronomonas salsuginis sp. nov., a New Inhabitant of a Marine Solar Saltern [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 A halophilic archaeon, strain F20-122T, was isolated from a marine saltern of Isla Bacuta (Huelva, Spain). Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, and coccoid in morphology. It grew at 25–50 °C (optimum 37 °C), pH 6.5–9.0 (optimum pH 8.0), and 10–30% (w/
