Extremely halophilic Archaea from Tuz Lake, Turkey, and the adjacent Kaldirim and Kayacik salterns [PDF]

, 2007
Tuz Lake is a hypersaline lake located in Central Anatolia, Turkey. The lake and its salterns, Kaldirim and Kayacik, are the major sources of solar salt for industrial applications in Turkey, especially in the food and leather industries.

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.

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 ...

Inverted microbial community stratification and spatial–temporal stability in hypersaline anaerobic sediments from the S’Avall solar salterns [PDF]

, 2021
The anaerobic hypersaline sediments of an ephemeral pond from the S’Avall solar salterns constituted an excellent study system because of their easy accessibility, as well as the analogy of their microbial assemblages with some known deep-sea hypersaline

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.
