Exploring Biosurfactant Production from Halophilic Bacteria, Isolated from Burgas Salterns in Bulgaria [PDF]
Marine DrugsBiosurfactants produced by halophilic bacteria are gaining attention as eco-friendly and biocompatible alternatives to synthetic surfactants due to their high surface activity, stability under extreme conditions, and intrinsic antimicrobial properties ...

Extremely halophilic brine community manipulation shows higher robustness of microbiomes inhabiting human-driven solar saltern than naturally driven lake [PDF]
mSystemsHypersaline ecosystems display taxonomically similar assemblages with low diversities and highly dense accompanying viromes. The ecological implications of viral infection on natural microbial populations remain poorly understood, especially at finer ...

Virioplankton community structure in Tunisian solar salterns. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2012 ABSTRACT The microbial community inhabiting Sfax solar salterns on the east coast of Tunisia has been studied by means of different molecular and culture-dependent tools that have unveiled the presence of novel microbial groups as well as a community structure different from that of other coastal hypersaline environments. We have
