Metataxonomy and pigments analyses unravel microbial diversity and the relevance of retinal-based photoheterotrophy at different salinities in the Odiel Salterns (SW, Spain) [PDF]
Salinity has a strong influence on microorganisms distribution patterns and consequently on the relevance of photoheterotrophic metabolism, which since the discovery of proteorhodopsins is considered the main contributor to solar energy capture on the ...

Halomicroarcula salina sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2015 Halophilic archaeal strain YGHS18T was isolated from the Yinggehai marine solar saltern near Shanya city of Hainan Province, China. Cells from the strain were observed to be pleomorphic rods, stained Gram-negative, and formed red-pigmented colonies on solid media.

Coraliomargarita sinensis sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019 A Gram-stain negative, spherical, obligately aerobic bacterium, designated strain WN38T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern on the coast of Weihai, China. Optimal growth occurred at 33 °C, pH 7.0-7.5 and in the presence of 3-4 % (w/v) NaCl. The genome of strain WN38T was found to contain the genes necessary for arsenate reductase and related ...

Microbiology of solar salt ponds [PDF]
, 1985 Solar salt ponds are shallow ponds of brines that range in salinity from that of normal seawater (3.4 percent) through NaCl saturation. Some salterns evaporate brines to the potash stage of concentration (bitterns).

Solar salterns – salt-making areas and natural habitats
Geografski vestnikIn recent decades, solar salterns in Europe have become protected natural areas. Long-term human activity has created a typical saltern ecosystem, providing habitats for numerous plant and animal species. We describe traditional salt-making using the example of the Sečovlje salterns in Slovenia, focusing on salt crystallisation areas during the 2024 ...

A comparative assessment of Goan natural solar salt and its adequacy in iodine content and nutritive value [PDF]
, 2013 Salt production has been a traditional occupation in Goa. Goa has been exporting salt to several African and Arabian countries during the post-medieval period and presently, has only sixteen active salterns.
