The family Halomonadaceae is the largest family composed of halophilic bacteria, with more than 160 species with validly published names as of July 2023. Several classifications to circumscribe this family are available in major resources, such as those provided by the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN), NCBI Taxonomy, G...

Introduction This work investigates whether rhizosphere microorganisms that colonize halophyte plants thriving in saline habitats can tolerate salinity and provide beneficial effects to their hosts, protecting them from environmental stresses, such as aromatic compound (AC) pollution. Methods To address this question, we conducted a series of exper...

In this paper, a liquid crystal-modulated metastructure sensor (MS) is proposed that can detect the refractive index (RI) of a liquid and change the detection range under different applied voltages. The regulation of the detection range is based on the different bias states of the liquid crystal at different voltages. By changing the sample in the ...

Solar salterns were placed along the coast and were frequently left unattended after use. While many studies have isolated and identified microorganisms from hypersaline environments, their role and adaptation mechanisms are still unclear. Herein, we elucidated the role of halophiles in salt-polluted areas through the recently reported Halomonas ge...

Concrete hosts a small but diverse microbiome that changes over time. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing would enable assessment of both the diversity and function of the microbial community in concrete, but a number of unique challenges make this difficult for concrete samples. The high concentration of divalent cations in concrete interferes with nuc...

While interest in underground gas storage (UGS) of hydrogen (H2) in salt caverns is increasing in a growing H2 economy, knowledge of the microbial communities inhabiting those hypersaline environments is still scarce. High salt concentrations and limited availability of carbon (C) sources in cavern environments reduce microbial growth rates and met...

Extremophiles provide a one-of-a-kind source of enzymes with properties that allow them to endure the rigorous industrial conversion of lignocellulose biomass into fermentable sugars. However, the fact that most of these organisms fail to grow under typical culture conditions limits the accessibility to these enzymes. In this study, we employed a f...

Extremophiles are the most fascinating life forms for their special adaptations and ability to offer unique extremozymes or bioactive molecules. Halophiles, the natural inhabitants of hypersaline environments, are one among them. Halomonas are the common genus of halophilic bacteria. To support growth in unusual environments, Halomonas produces var...
Solarne soline sestavlja zaporedje bazenov, kjer se morska voda na račun izhlapevanja postopoma koncentrira do obarjanja halita, glavnega proizvoda dejavnosti. Po pobiranju halita ostane v bazenih grenčica, ki je zaradi vsebnosti visokih koncentracij magnezijevih soli do nedavnega veljala za aseptično okolje. Namen našega dela je opisati mikrobno p...
