Archaeal Viruses Multiply: Temporal Screening in a Solar Saltern [PDF]
Hypersaline environments around the world are dominated by archaea and their viruses. To date, very little is known about these viruses and their interaction with the host strains when compared to bacterial and eukaryotic viruses. We performed the first culture-dependent temporal screening of haloarchaeal viruses and their hosts in the saltern of ...

The heterotrophic eubacterial and archaeal co-inhabitants of the halophilic Dunaliella salina in solar salterns fed by Bay of Bengal along south eastern coast of India. [PDF]
Halophilic microbes are studied to understand the metabolic pathways adopted by organisms in such extreme environment and for their biotechnological exploitation. In thallosohaline environments worldwide, the autotrophic alga Dunaliella salina Teodoresco

Diversity of halophilic archaea in the crystallizers of an Adriatic solar saltern [PDF]
Haloarchaeal diversity in the crystallizers of Adriatic Secovlje salterns was investigated using gene fragments encoding 16S rRNA and bacteriorhodopsin as molecular markers. Screening of 180 clones from five gene libraries constructed for each gene targeted revealed 15 different 16S rRNA and 10 different bacteriorhodopsin phylotypes, indicating higher ...

Distribution of phytoplankton and artemia in the solar salterns at Tuticorin [PDF]
Salt pan ecosystem of Tuticorin was studied for the distribution of Phytoplankton in two condenser ponds in a particular station, where artemia population was very high. This was monitored for one year in two ponds. Physico chemical parameters were also studied. The population of Bacillariophyceae dominated during monsoon season. Chlorophyceae was high

Marinobacter szutsaonensis sp. nov., isolated from a solar saltern [PDF]
A Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, halophilic bacterial strain, NTU-104(T), was isolated from the Szutsao saltern in southern Taiwan, which was previously used as salt production field. The novel isolate grew optimally at 35-40 degrees C, at pH 7.5-8.0 and in the presence of 5 % (w/v) NaCl.

Virgibacillus campisalis sp. nov., from a marine solar saltern [PDF]
A Gram-staining-variable, motile, endospore-forming and rod-shaped bacterial strain, IDS-20T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. Strain IDS-20T grew optimally at 37 °C, at pH 7.5–8.0 and in the presence of 4–5 % (w/v) NaCl.
