The role of refluxing deep hypersaline brines and evaporite precipitation dynamics in the Castile Formation and marginal carbonate strata (Delaware Basin, USA)

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 829-856, June 2025.
The Upper Permian Castile Formation of the Delaware Basin, a 515.3 m (1690.6 ft) thick deep‐water evaporitic sequence dominated by anhydrite and halite, is the focus of this study. This study's sedimentological and geochemical analysis of cores from the basin's centre and margin reveals that dynamic reflux of deep hypersaline brines significantly ...

Diversity of microorganisms in solar salterns of Tamil Nadu, India

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2009
In this study, the diversity of prokaryotes inhabiting crystallizer ponds of three solar salterns, located along Bengal Bay in Tamil Nadu, India was examined. Unlike other salterns studied the Tamil Nadu salterns are fed by hypersaline spring water mixed with seawater and led to the ponds from bore wells.

Exploring Microbiological Dynamics in a Salt Cavern for Potential Hydrogen Storage Use

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2025.
Hydrogen storage in subsurface salt caverns is vital for the energy transition. These caverns are not sterile, as they contain a diverse microbial world. Our research found Bacteria and Archaea thriving on hydrogen and other nutrients in this extreme environment.

Conventional and innovative approaches to black fungi control for stone heritage preservation

IUBMB Life, Volume 77, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Black Meristematic Fungi (BMF) are characterized by a thick melanized cell wall and an isodiametric cellular expansion. BMF represent one of the most damaging groups of microorganisms causing the deterioration of outdoor exposed stone monuments mainly due to the formation of dark spots and patches leading to the darkening of their surface ...

Halobacterium litoreum sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
Halophilic archaeal strain ZS-54-S2T was isolated from Zhoushan marine solar saltern, China. Cells were rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative and formed red-pigmented colonies on an agar plate. Strain ZS-54-S2T was able to grow at 20-50 °C (optimum 35 °C), at 1.7-4.8 M NaCl (optimum 3.9 M), at 0.005-1.0 M MgCl2 (optimum 0.05 M) and at pH 5.0-9.5 (optimum pH ...

Isolation and characterization of Desulfovibrio senezii sp. nov., a halotolerant sulfate reducer from a solar saltern and phylogenetic confirmation of Desulfovibrio fructosovorans as a new species

, 1998
A new halotolerant #Desulfovibrio$, strain CVLT (T = type strain), was isolated from a solar saltern in California. The curved, gram-negative, nonsporeforming cells (0.3 x 1.0-1.3 micrometers) occurred singly, in pairs, or in chains, were motile by a ...
