Bioactive Potential of the Sulfated Exopolysaccharides From the Brown Microalga Halamphora sp.: Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Antiapoptotic Profiles

Analytical Science Advances, Volume 5, Issue 9-10, October 2024.
ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of the exopolysaccharides (EPS) extracted from the microalgae species Halamphora sp., as well as to evaluate their antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti‐apoptotic activities. The crude extracellular polysaccharides from the halophilic diatom Halamphora sp.

Characterization of the Microbial Population Inhabiting a Solar Saltern Pond of the Odiel Marshlands (SW Spain)

Marine Drugs, 2018
The solar salterns located in the Odiel marshlands, in southwest Spain, are an excellent example of a hypersaline environment inhabited by microbial populations specialized in thriving under conditions of high salinity, which remains poorly explored ...

Experimental evolution of extremotolerant and extremophilic fungi under osmotic stress

IUBMB Life, Volume 76, Issue 9, Page 617-631, September 2024.
Abstract Experimental evolution was carried out to investigate the adaptive responses of extremotolerant fungi to a stressful environment. For 12 cultivation cycles, the halotolerant black yeasts Aureobasidium pullulans and Aureobasidium subglaciale were grown at high NaCl or glycerol concentrations, and the halophilic basidiomycete Wallemia ...

Gracilimonas halophila sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
A Gram-stain-negative and facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated WDS2C40T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Weihai, China. Cells of strain WDS2C40T were 0.4-0.5 µm wide and 4.0-9.0 µm long, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Strain WDS2C40T was tolerant to moderate salt concentrations. Growth occurred at 20-42 °C (optimum, 37-40 °

An advanced genetic toolkit for exploring the biology of the rock-inhabiting black fungus Knufia petricola

Scientific Reports, 2020
Microcolonial black fungi are a group of ascomycetes that exhibit high stress tolerance, yeast-like growth and constitutive melanin formation. They dominate a range of hostile natural and man-made environments, from desert rocks and salterns to ...

Successful inoculation of Artemia and production of cysts in man-made salterns in the Philippines [PDF]

, 1979
The authors report on inoculation experiments of Artemia nauplii and young adults of the San Francisco Bay strains in earthen fish ponds. The test inoculated proved successful where water salinity ranges from 20 to 32 o/oo during the start of the rainy ...

Marinicauda salina sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019
A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, oxidase-positive, motile, dimorphic rod bacterium, with a polar flagellum or a polar prostheca, designated as strain WD6-1T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from a marine solar saltern located in Weihai, PR China. Growth of strain WD6-1T was observed at 15-45 °C (optimum, 37-40 °C).
