Saline environments have a natural bacterial flora, which may play a significant role in the
economy of these habitats. The natural saline environments (usually containing salinity …

Hypersaline environments are important for both surface extension and ecological
significance. As all other ecosystems, they are impacted by pollution. However, little …

Microbes are capable of colonizing the rhizosphere and phyllosphere as well as living
inside the plant tissues as endophytes. The microbiomes associated with the crops have the …

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the diversity of moderately halophilic bacteria
with hydrolase activities. Methods and Results: Screening bacteria from different hypersaline …

Hypersaline wastes are generated during industrial activities that include chemical
manufacturing, oil and gas production and waste minimization practices. These wastes …

We have made a detailed phenotypic characterisation of the type strains of 21 species within
the genus Halomonas and have also studied any possible intraspecific variation of strains …

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 …

Accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbon residual considered a major environmental
problem in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia cause of intensive efforts for oil detecting. Until now …

Two moderately halophilic, gram-positive, heterotrophic bacterial strains were isolated from
hypersaline sediments of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. These two strains, designated SL-4T …

Halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms represent promising sources of salt-tolerant
enzymes that could be used in various biotechnological processes where high salt …
