Colonization and dispersal patterns of the invasive American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) in the Mediterranean region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cysts of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana are harvested from the Great Salt Lake (GSL) and San Francisco Bay (SFB) saltworks in the USA, and marketed worldwide to provide live food for aquaculture.

Transient Dynamics of Archaea and Bacteria in Sediments and Brine Across a Salinity Gradient in a Solar Saltern of Goa, India

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The microbial fluctuations along an increasing salinity gradient during two different salt production phases – initial salt harvesting (ISH) phase and peak salt harvesting (PSH) phase of Siridao solar salterns in Goa, India were examined through high ...

New Halonotius Species Provide Genomics-Based Insights Into Cobalamin Synthesis in Haloarchaea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Hypersaline aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems display a cosmopolitan distribution. These environments teem with microbes and harbor a plethora of prokaryotic lineages that evaded ecological characterization due to the prior inability to cultivate them ...

Genome Variation in the Model Halophilic Bacterium Salinibacter ruber

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The halophilic bacterium Salinibacter ruber is an abundant and ecologically important member of halophilic communities worldwide. Given its broad distribution and high intraspecific genetic diversity, S.

Is there a common water-activity limit for the three domains of life? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Archaea and Bacteria constitute a majority of life systems on Earth but have long been considered inferior to Eukarya in terms of solute tolerance. Whereas the most halophilic prokaryotes are known for an ability to multiply at saturated NaCl (water ...

Microbiology of solar salt ponds [PDF]

open access: yes
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).

Halotolerant Ability and α-Amylase Activity of Some Saltwater Fungal Isolates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Four halotolerant fungal isolates originating from the saltwater Lake Urmia in Iran were selected during a screening program for salt resistance and α-amylase activity. The isolates were identified based on sequencing the ITS region and a part of the β-

Salinigranum salinum sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2016
An extremely halophilic archaeal strain YJ-50-S2T was isolated from Yangjiang marine solar saltern, China. Cells were pleomorphic, stained Gram-negative and formed red-pigmented colonies on agar plates. Strain YJ-50-S2T was able to grow at 25-50 °C (optimum 37 °C), with 0.9-4.8 M NaCl (optimum 2.6 M NaCl) and 0-1.0 M MgCl2 (optimum 0.03 M MgCl2), and ...

Discovery of salt-loving pleolipoviruses infecting archaea : vesicle-like virion is the key to success [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Extremophiles are found in all three domains of cellular life but especially archaea are able to withstand harsh conditions. Halophilic archaea thrive in hypersaline environments like salt lakes and salterns which have been shown to contain high ...
