Genomic and proteomic evidences unravel the UV-resistome of the poly-extremophile Acinetobacter sp. Ver3 [PDF]

, 2015
Ultraviolet radiation can damage biomolecules, with detrimental or even lethal effects for life. Even though lower wavelengths are filtered by the ozone layer, a significant amount of harmful UV-B and UV-A radiation reach Earth?s surface, particularly in

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 ...

Marinilabilia rubra sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019
A novel cherry-red-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, gliding, facultatively anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain WTE16T, was isolated from a sediment sample taken from a marine solar saltern of Wendeng, China (36° 59′ 56.49′′ N 122° 1′ 38.84′′ E). The novel isolate was able to grow at 20–40 °C (optimum 33 °C), at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum pH 7.

Metagenomic sequence of prokaryotic microbiota from an intermediate-salinity pond of a saltern in Isla Cristina, Spain [PDF]

, 2014
Marine salterns are artificial multipond systems designed for the commercial production of salt by evaporation of seawater. We report here the metagenomic sequence of the prokaryotic microbiota of a pond with intermediate salinity (21% total salts) of a ...

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 ...

Algoriphagus locisalis sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2005
Two Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterial strains, MSS-170T and MSS-171, were isolated from sea water of a marine solar saltern of the Yellow Sea, Korea, and characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The two isolates grew optimally at 30 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl.

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.

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.

Halobacterium litoreum sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
Halophilic archaeal strain ZS-54-S2T was isolated from Zhoushan marine solar saltern, China. Cells were rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative and formed red-pigmented colonies on an agar plate. Strain ZS-54-S2T was able to grow at 20-50 °C (optimum 35 °C), at 1.7-4.8 M NaCl (optimum 3.9 M), at 0.005-1.0 M MgCl2 (optimum 0.05 M) and at pH 5.0-9.5 (optimum pH ...
