Airborne Halophilic and Non‐Halophilic Microbial Communities in an Underground Salt Mine Affected by Seasonal Environmental Fluctuations

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while

Extreme Salinity Change Governs Microbial Community Assembly and Interactions

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Along the Coorong Lagoon's extreme salinity gradient, hypersalinity deterministically enriches halophilic specialists and reorganises sediment microbial networks. Network complexity peaks at salinity extremes, revealing pivotal ecological trade‐offs that will steer nutrient cycling and lagoon resilience as coastal wetland salinisation accelerates ...

Genome‐Resolved Approach of Guerrero Negro Hypersaline Microbial Mats Reveals the Metabolic Potential of Key Players in a Stratified Community

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2025.
The first metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs) from Guerrero Negro hypersaline microbial mats were recovered from natural and incubated samples. These MAGs include dominant and rare taxa, whose metabolic potential provides clues to metabolic versatility in the cycling of three elements (carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen) at the genome and community levels ...

The Genus Wallemia—From Contamination of Food to Health Threat

Microorganisms, 2018
The fungal genus Wallemia of the order Wallemiales (Wallemiomycotina, Basidiomycota) comprises the most xerotolerant, xerophilic and also halophilic species worldwide. Wallemia spp.

Microbial diversity and function in the rhizosphere microbiome: Driving forces and monitoring approaches

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract As an ecological unit, the rhizosphere microbiome preserves an enormous and largely unexplored diversity of microbes that play essential roles in plant health and soil functions. Omics technologies encompassing high‐throughput approaches such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics provide helpful tools to unravel the ...

Heterotrophic Protists in Hypersaline Microbial Mats and Deep Hypersaline Basin Water Columns

Life, 2013
Although hypersaline environments pose challenges to life because of the low water content (water activity), many such habitats appear to support eukaryotic microbes.

Isolation of Halophilic and Halotolerant Bacterial Strains, Screening for Bioactive Compounds and Characterisation of Metabolites Produced by Pseudoalteromonas sp. ASV78

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
A collection of 150 bacterial isolates from a continental saltern dominated by Pseudomonadota revealed 20 antimicrobial producers and 14 isolates with emulsifying and surface tension reducing properties. The strain ASV78 produces pentabromopseudilin and bromophene, which are active against Gram‐positive pathogens, as well as a glycolipid‐type ...

The role of refluxing deep hypersaline brines and evaporite precipitation dynamics in the Castile Formation and marginal carbonate strata (Delaware Basin, USA)

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 829-856, June 2025.
The Upper Permian Castile Formation of the Delaware Basin, a 515.3 m (1690.6 ft) thick deep‐water evaporitic sequence dominated by anhydrite and halite, is the focus of this study. This study's sedimentological and geochemical analysis of cores from the basin's centre and margin reveals that dynamic reflux of deep hypersaline brines significantly ...

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.
