Extreme marine environments have been the subject of many studies and scientific
publications. For many years, these environmental niches, which are characterized by high …

Moderately halophilic bacteria are microorganisms that grow optimally in media containing
3%–15%(w/v) salt. They are represented by a heterogeneous group of microorganisms …

Hypersaline environments are dominated by archaea and bacteria and are almost entirely
devoid of eukaryotic organisms. In addition, hypersaline environments contain considerable …

Molecular diversity of rumen archaea was analyzed by PCR amplification and sequencing of
two 16S rRNA clone libraries prepared from the bovine rumen fluid using two different …

Halophilic Archaea of the order Halobacteriales are found in hypersaline environments in
which salt concentrations exceed 150–200 g/liter. They inhabit salt lakes such as the Great …

Abstract Development of inhibitors and vaccines that mitigate rumen-derived methane by
targeting methanogens relies on knowledge of the methanogens present. We investigated …

The diversity and dynamics of a bacterial community extracted from an exploited oil field with
high natural soil salinity near Comodoro Rivadavia in Patagonia (Argentina) were …

Archaeal organisms are generally known as diverse extremophiles, but they play a crucial
role also in moderate environments. So far, only about 50 archaeal viruses have been …

Karstic cave systems in Slovenia receive substantial amounts of organic input from adjacent
forest and freshwater systems. These caves host microbial communities that consist of …

A group of 91 moderately halophilic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped strains were isolated from
enrichments prepared from Dead Sea water samples collected 57 years ago. These strains …
