Isolation and Characterization of a Moderately Halophilic Methanogen from a Solar Saltern [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1985 A moderately halophilic methanogenic bacterium was enriched with trimethylamine and isolated from the sediment of a solar salt pond (total dissolved solids of pond water, 250 g/liter; pH 7.5). The isolate (strain SF1, DSM 3243) was an irregular coccus which stained gram negative, with a diameter of 1 μm and a thin monolayered cell wall.

INVESTIGATING THE MICROBIOTA OF SOLAR SALTERN OF MULUND, MUMBAI, INDIA
Journal of Advanced Scientific Research, 2023 Solar salterns, located in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide, are artificial shallow ponds for the production ofhalite (NaCl) from seawater. They are often built as multipond systems. Multi-pond solar salterns have been widespreadenvironments for studies on halophilic microorganisms.

Haloarchaeobius baliensis sp. nov., isolated from a solar saltern
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2016 A novel halophilic archaeon, designated strain 2b_61_3T, was isolated from a solar saltern in Indonesia. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-negative, motile, pleomorphic rods that formed orange-red-pigmented colonies on solid medium. The isolate grew optimally at 42-44 °C, pH 6.5-7.0, and with 2.6 M NaCl, and MgCl2 was required for growth.

Archaeal Genes Code for GGDEF Domain Proteins With Diguanylate Cyclase Activity
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 5, Page 576-595, November 2026.A biofilm‐like mode of growth is hypothesized to be required for the emergence of cellular life. Occurrence of common biofilm gene products in current Bacteria and Archaea is an indication for their previous presence in the last universal common ancestor LUCA and perhaps even in the first universal common ancestor FUCA.

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.Lithium for rechargeable batteries is increasingly extracted from brines in high‐Andean salars. Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies are promoted as sustainable alternatives to conventional evaporation ponds. This work explores how brine modification and reinjection may affect microbial communities and ecosystem functioning, highlighting the ...

Phytoplankton assemblage of a solar saltern in Port Fouad, Egypt
Oceanologia, 2012 AbstractThe present study is the first investigation of the phytoplankton community in one of Egypt’s saltworks. The phytoplankton composition and distribution in five ponds of increasing salinity were investigated in the solar saltern of Port Fouad.

Rhodohalobacter sulfatireducens sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern
Archives of Microbiology, 2022 Abstract A novel Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic, and rod-shaped bacterium, designated WB101T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern located in Wendeng, PR China. Growth occurs at 25–42°C (optimum, 35–37°C), 1.0–11.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 5.0–6.0%), and pH 7.0–8.5 (optimum, 7.5–8 ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract To address for the first time the carbon budget of traditional salterns, we measured the diel, seasonal, and spatial variability of water‐air CO2‐eq fluxes (CH4 and CO2) and the Organic Carbon (OC) stock and burial rate in the sediment. Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH and wind were assessed as potential environmental drivers of the

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin
Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 913-926, April 2026.ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while
