Xerophilic fungal genus Wallemia: Bioactive inhabitants of marine solar salterns and salty food [PDF]

Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke, 2011
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.

The Saline Aquatic Systems As ‘Natural Reservoirs’ For Microorganisms with Current and Potential Applications. [PDF]

Aerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului, 2019
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 ...

Low Water Activity Induces the Production of Bioactive Metabolites in Halophilic and Halotolerant Fungi

Marine Drugs, 2010
The aim of the present study was to investigate indigenous fungal communities isolated from extreme environments (hypersaline waters of solar salterns and subglacial ice), for the production of metabolic compounds with selected biological activities ...

Use of a mixed culture strategy to isolate halophilic bacteria with antibacterial and cytotoxic activity from the Manaure solar saltern in Colombia

BMC Microbiology, 2017
Background Water evaporation in solar salterns creates salinity gradients that promote the adaptation of microbial species to different salinities. This competitive habitat challenges the metabolic capabilities of microorganisms and promotes alterations ...

Selective enrichment on a wide polysaccharide spectrum allowed isolation of novel metabolic and taxonomic groups of haloarchaea from hypersaline lakes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Extremely halophilic archaea (haloarchaea) of the class Halobacteria is a dominant group of aerobic heterotrophic prokaryotic communities in salt-saturated habitats, such as salt lakes and solar salterns.

Distinctive Archaeal Composition of an Artisanal Crystallizer Pond and Functional Insights Into Salt-Saturated Hypersaline Environment Adaptation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Hypersaline environments represent some of the most challenging settings for life on Earth. Extremely halophilic microorganisms have been selected to colonize and thrive in these extreme environments by virtue of a broad spectrum of adaptations to ...

White Is a New Shade of Blue Carbon: A Case Study of a Traditional Salt Production Pond That is a Net Carbon Sink

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.

A preliminary report on bacterial diversity in solar salterns located at the Gulf of Khambhat, India using 16S amplicon sequencing

Heliyon
In recent years it has become pivotal to study the community composition of an environment to understand the role of microorganisms in it. The saline soils harbour prokaryotic microbiota that adapted to high concentrations of salt and are an interesting ...

Spiribacter halobius sp. nov., a novel halophilic Gammaproteobacterium with a relatively large genome

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Spiribacter is the most abundant bacterial genus in the intermediate-salinity zones of hypersaline environments. However, Spiribacter strains are extremely difficult to isolate in pure culture.
