Exploring Microbiological Dynamics in a Salt Cavern for Potential Hydrogen Storage Use

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2025.
Hydrogen storage in subsurface salt caverns is vital for the energy transition. These caverns are not sterile, as they contain a diverse microbial world. Our research found Bacteria and Archaea thriving on hydrogen and other nutrients in this extreme environment.

Salimicrobium flavidum sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern [PDF]

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC AND EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY, 2009
A Gram-variable-staining, motile and coccoid-, ovoid- or rod-shaped bacterium, strain ISL-25(T), was isolated from a marine solar saltern of the Yellow Sea, Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by means of a polyphasic study. Strain ISL-25(T) grew optimally at pH 7.0-8.0 and 30-37 degrees C.

Conventional and innovative approaches to black fungi control for stone heritage preservation

IUBMB Life, Volume 77, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Black Meristematic Fungi (BMF) are characterized by a thick melanized cell wall and an isodiametric cellular expansion. BMF represent one of the most damaging groups of microorganisms causing the deterioration of outdoor exposed stone monuments mainly due to the formation of dark spots and patches leading to the darkening of their surface ...

Elevated δ15N Linked to Inhibited Nitrification Coupled to Ammonia Volatilization in Sediments of Shallow Alkaline‐Hypersaline Lakes

Geobiology, Volume 23, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT Alkaline lakes are among the most bioproductive aquatic ecosystems on Earth. The factors that ultimately limit productivity in these systems can vary, but nitrogen (N) cycling in particular has been shown to be adversely affected by high salinity, evidently due to the inhibition of nitrifying bacteria (i.e., those that convert ammonic species ...

Artemia Cyst Production in Solar Earthen Ponds in Vinh Chau, Vietnam, and Its Associated Microbiome

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Artemia franciscana farmed in Vinh Chau, Vietnam, have been known for their premium‐quality cysts. This study provides an update on Artemia cyst production in solar earthen ponds in Vinh Chau and explores the microbiome of Artemia gut, pond water, and pond sediment in order to generate clues for research on cyst productivity improvement.

Gracilimonas halophila sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
A Gram-stain-negative and facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated WDS2C40T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Weihai, China. Cells of strain WDS2C40T were 0.4-0.5 µm wide and 4.0-9.0 µm long, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Strain WDS2C40T was tolerant to moderate salt concentrations. Growth occurred at 20-42 °C (optimum, 37-40 °

Salinigranum halophilum sp. nov., isolated from marine solar salterns

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020
Three halophilic archaeal strains, YJ-53T, ZS-5 and DYF38, were isolated from marine solar salterns located in different provinces of China. The three strains formed a single cluster (99.7–99.8 and 97.9–99.2 % similarities, respectively) that was separate from the current two members of Salinigranum

Isolation and characterization of a novel methanogen Methanosarcina hadiensis sp. nov. from subsurface Boom Clay pore water

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2024.
We isolated a novel methanogenic archaeon, Methanosarcina hadiensis sp. nov. (TD41E1‐1), from Boom Clay pore water at a depth of 225 m. It exhibits unique characteristics compared to previously characterized Methanosarcina species, such as the inability to perform acetoclastic methanogenesis and the presence of extensive surface appendages.
