Virioplankton Community Structure in Tunisian Solar Salterns [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012 ABSTRACT The microbial community inhabiting Sfax solar salterns on the east coast of Tunisia has been studied by means of different molecular and culture-dependent tools that have unveiled the presence of novel microbial groups as well as a community structure different from that of other coastal hypersaline environments. We have

Diversity of halophilic archaea in the crystallizers of an Adriatic solar saltern [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2005 Haloarchaeal diversity in the crystallizers of Adriatic Secovlje salterns was investigated using gene fragments encoding 16S rRNA and bacteriorhodopsin as molecular markers. Screening of 180 clones from five gene libraries constructed for each gene targeted revealed 15 different 16S rRNA and 10 different bacteriorhodopsin phylotypes, indicating higher ...

Differences in gene expression patterns between cultured and natural Haloquadratum walsbyi ecotypes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Solar crystallizer ponds are characterized by high population density with a relatively simple community structure in terms of species composition. The microbial community in the solar saltern of Santa Pola (Alicante, Spain), is largely dominated by the ...

Culturable Diversity and Enzyme Production Survey of Halophilic Prokaryotes from a Solar Saltern on the Shore of the Oman Sea [PDF]
Journal of Genetic Resources, 2020 The prokaryotic residents of the Tis solar saltern in the southeast of Iran on the shore of Oman Sea were investigated by the culture-dependent methods. Sequencing of the PCR-amplified fragments of 16S rRNA genes revealed that bacterial populations were ...

Distribution of phytoplankton and artemia in the solar salterns at Tuticorin [PDF]
Current World Environment, 2006 Salt pan ecosystem of Tuticorin was studied for the distribution of Phytoplankton in two condenser ponds in a particular station, where artemia population was very high. This was monitored for one year in two ponds. Physico chemical parameters were also studied. The population of Bacillariophyceae dominated during monsoon season. Chlorophyceae was high
