During recent years, it has become clear that many species of archaea and bacteria are
polyploid and contain more than 10 copies of their chromosome. In this contribution, eight …

The brines of natural salt lakes with total salt concentrations exceeding 30% are often
colored red by dense communities of halophilic microorganisms. Such red brines are found …

The ecological significance of the marine bacterial populations distinguishable by flow
cytometry on the basis of the fluorescence (FL) of their nucleic acid (NA) content and proxies …

The goal of this study was to use environmental sequencing of 16S rRNA and bop genes to
compare the diversity of planktonic bacteria and archaea across ponds with increasing …

Coastal lagoons, both hypersaline and freshwater, are common, but still understudied
ecosystems. We describe, for the first time, using high throughput sequencing, the extant …

The spatial and seasonal dynamics of the halophilic prokaryotic community was investigated
in five ponds from Sfax solar saltern (Tunisia), covering a salinity gradient ranging from 20 to …

The microbial fluctuations along an increasing salinity gradient during two different salt
production phases–initial salt harvesting (ISH) phase and peak salt harvesting (PSH) phase …

Seasonal sampling was carried out at three Argentinian salterns, Salitral Negro (SN),
Colorada Grande (CG) and Guatraché (G), to analyze abiotic parameters and microbial …

The “Saline di Tarquinia” salterns have been scarcely investigated regarding their
microbiological aspects. This work studied the structure and composition of their bacterial …

The microbial community inhabiting Sfax solar salterns on the east coast of Tunisia has
been studied by means of different molecular and culture-dependent tools that have …
