Hypersaline environments are widespread in all parts of the world. Iran is a country with
continental climate. Saline lakes and wetlands are found everywhere in Iran, and most of …

In this study, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and PCR-amplified fragments of the
16SrDNA gene were used to determine prokaryotes diversity in Urmia Salt Lake. Prokaryote …

 Introduction: Urmia Lake, located in the northwest of Iran, is the largest permanent lake in
Iran and one of the three permanent hypersaline lakes in the world. Microbial sampling from …

This research is a comparative study on the diversity of halophilic bacteria with hydrolytic
activities in three significant hypersaline lakes; Urmia in the northwest and Howz-Soltan and …

Halophiles are in all three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria and Eucarya. Halophilic
microorganisms in addition to forming a major part of life biodiversity can have many …

Extreme ecosystems such as hypersaline habitats are promising source of bacteria able to
produce potent natural molecules. Halophilic and halotolerant bacteria associated with an …

North of Tunisia consists of numerous ecosystems including extreme hypersaline
environments in which the microbial diversity has been poorly studied. The Sehline Sebkha …

Extremophiles are considered as novel and interesting resource of enzymes, biomolecules
and biomaterials that have unusual properties and then are with great interest in many …

Moderately halophilic bacteria are microorganisms that can grow optimally in media
containing between 3% and 15%(w/v) salt (Lichfield, 2002). Because of the wide range of …

Iran has many hypersaline environments, both the permanent and seasonal ones. One of
the seasonal hypersaline lakes in the central desert zone is Aran-Bidgol Lake in which …
