Hydrolases constitute a class of enzymes widely distributed in nature from bacteria to higher
eukaryotes. The halotolerance of many enzymes derived from halophilic bacteria can be …

The Marinobacter genus comprises widespread marine bacteria, found in localities as
diverse as the deep ocean, coastal seawater and sediment, hydrothermal settings, oceanic …

Screening of bacteria from different areas of Howz Soltan playa, a hypersaline lake in the
central desert zone of Iran, led to the isolation of 231 moderately halophilic bacteria, which …

Halophiles are excellent sources of enzymes that are not only salt stable but also can
withstand and carry out reactions efficiently under extreme conditions. The aim of the study …

Blood Falls is the surface manifestation of brine released from below the Taylor Glacier,
McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. Geochemical analyses of Blood Falls show that this brine …

The genus of Marinobacter is one of the most ubiquitous in the global oceans and assumed
to significantly impact various biogeochemical cycles. The genome structure and content of …

In this study we investigated the phenanthrene degradation by a halophilic consortium
obtained from a saline soil sample. This consortium, named Qphe, could efficiently utilize …

There is growing interest in the development and optimization of bioremediation processes
to deal with environments with high salinity that are contaminated with aromatic compounds …

Background Among extremophiles, halophiles are defined as microorganisms adapted to
live and thrive in diverse extreme saline environments. These extremophilic microorganisms …

Salt is an essential requirement of life. Already from ancient times (eg, see the books of the
Bible) its importance in human life has been known. For example, salt symbolizes …
