Microorganisms (MOs) are an important member of any aquaculture system. The MOs in the
BFT (Biofloc Technology) system are also crucial, diverse and therefore have different roles …

Salinization of soil is recognised as one of the most pressing environmental challenges to
resolve for the next century. We here conduct a synoptic review of the available research on …

Predation in aquatic microbial food webs is dominated by phagotrophic protists, yet these
microorganisms are still understudied compared to bacteria and phytoplankton. In pelagic …

We describe the microbiota of two hypersaline saltern ponds, one of intermediate salinity
(19%) and a NaCl saturated crystallizer pond (37%) using pyrosequencing. The analyses of …

Extreme environments have for long been considered to be populated almost exclusively by
prokaryotic organisms and therefore monopolized by bacteriologists. Solar salterns are …

Microbial communities inhabiting a multipond solar saltern were analysed and compared
using SSU rRNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based fingerprintings carried out in …

Water bodies with NaCl concentrations approaching saturation are often populated by
dense microbial communities. Red halophilic Archaea of the family Halobacteriaceae …

Halophilic representatives of the genus Dunaliella, notably D. salina and D. viridis, are found
worldwide in salt lakes and saltern evaporation and crystallizer ponds at salt concentrations …

The Cabo Rojo Solar Salterns located on the southwest coast of Puerto Rico are composed
of two main ecosystems (ie, salt ponds and microbial mats). Even though these locations are …

Estuarine and coastal systems represent a challenge when it comes to determining the
causes of ecological change because human and natural perturbations often interact …
