Heavy metals are dense chemicals with dual biological role as micronutrients and
intoxicants. A few hypersaline environmental systems are naturally enriched with heavy …

Deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basins (DHABs) are considered to be among the most
extreme ecosystems on our planet, allowing only the life of polyextremophilic organisms …

Salt tolerant organisms are increasingly being used for the industrial production of high‐
value biomolecules due to their better adaptability compared to mesophiles …

Aims: To screen heavy metal-tolerant strains from heavy metal-contaminated soil in mining
areas and determine the tolerance of the strains to different heavy metals and their removal …

Toxic heavy metal/oxyanion contamination has increased severely through the last decades.
In this study, 169 native haloarchaeal strains were isolated from different saline and …

Thermophilic membrane biofilm reactor (TMBR) for elemental mercury (Hg 0) and NO
removal in simulated flue gas was investigated at oxygen content of 6% and 60° C. The …

This work demonstrates bacterial oxidation of mercury (Hg 0) coupled to nitric oxide (NO)
reduction in a denitrifying membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR). In 93 days' operation, Hg 0 and …

Stenotrophomonas MB339, a bacterium, which could potentially utilize aromatic compounds
and tolerate different heavy metals was isolated from industrial wastewater. Subsequent …

Salinity, resulting from various contaminants, is a major concern to global crop cultivation.
Soil salinity results in increased osmotic stress, oxidative stress, specific ion toxicity, nutrient …

Life in salt pans with varying chemical compositions require special adaptation strategies at
both the physiological and molecular level. The Marakkanam salt pan in South India is …
