Hypersaline regions are terrestrial analogs of the Earth's primitive ecosystem and
extraterrestrial environment. The salt range in Pakistan is considered among a few of the …

Here we present the first report on the taxonomic diversity of the microbial communities of
the saline desert of the Great Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, India, using a metagenomic approach …

Some hypersaline ecosystems exist in the form of halite, the salt deposits formed due to the
evaporation of salt water. Over a period of time, the salt-saturated hypersaline lakes or seas …

Background Himalaya is an ecologically pristine environment. The geo-tectonic activities
have shaped various environmental niches with diverse microbial populations throughout …

Commercial table salt is a condiment with food preservative properties by decreasing water
activity and increasing osmotic pressure. Salt is also a source of halophilic bacteria and …

Haloalkaliphilic bacteria, a group of organisms with twin extremities of pH and salinity, have
traditionally been investigated from variety of habitats. During the last several years, we …

Inland athalassohaline solar salterns provide unique opportunity to study microbial
successions along salinity gradients that resemble transition in natural hypersaline lakes …

Five halophilic bacterial isolates namely SS1, SS2, SS3, SS5 and SS8 were isolated from
soil sediments of Lunsu, a salty water body. All the bacterial isolates showed growth in LB …

Halophiles are extremophile organisms that thrive in environments with very high
concentrations of salt. The salt mines of Karak region, is an extremely saline environment …

This report describes cultivation-dependent diversity, phylogeny and enzymatic potential of
the haloalkaliphilic bacteria isolated from the unvegetated desert soil of yet unexplored …
