Biogeography, autecology, and phylogeny of Percolomonads based on newly described species
Abstract Percolomonads (Heterolobosea) are aquatic heterotrophic flagellates frequently found in saline waters up to hypersaline environments. We isolated and cultivated seven strains of percolomonad flagellates from marine waters and sediments as well as from a hypersaline inland lake in the Atacama Desert.

Fungal Diversity and Composition of the Continental Solar Saltern in Añana Salt Valley (Spain)
The Añana Salt Valley in Spain is an active continental solar saltern formed 220 million years ago. To date, no fungal genomic studies of continental salterns have been published, although DNA metabarcoding has recently expanded researchers’ ability to ...

From community approaches to single-cell genomics: the discovery of ubiquitous hyperhalophilic Bacteroidetes generalists [PDF]
The microbiota of multi-pond solar salterns around the world has been analyzed using a variety of culture-dependent and molecular techniques. However, studies addressing the dynamic nature of these systems are very scarce.

Xerophilic fungal genus Wallemia: Bioactive inhabitants of marine solar salterns and salty food [PDF]
Wallemia is a genus of cosmopolitan xerophilic fungi, frequently involved in food spoilage of particularly sweet, salty, and dried food. Until recently, only a single species, Wallemia sebi, was recognized in the genus.

Rhodohalobacter sulfatireducens sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern
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 ...

The Saline Aquatic Systems As ‘Natural Reservoirs’ For Microorganisms with Current and Potential Applications. [PDF]
Saline aquatic systems include inland and marine-derived lakes, solar salterns, or temporary inland saline ponds. Despite their high salinity, these ecosystems are inhabited by diverse microbial communities driving full biogeochemical cycling of main ...
