Anoxygenic photoautotrophic metabolism of green sulfur bacteria of the family
Chlorobiaceae played a significant role in establishing the Earth's biosphere. Two known …

Nitrogen fixation (NF) of phototrophic communities was studied in a number of soda lakes
with a wide range of salinity (25–400 g/l) located in Kulunda Steppe (Altai, Russia) during …

The ecological health of karst groundwater has been of global concern due to increasing
anthropogenic activities. Bacteria comprising a few abundant taxa (AT) and plentiful rare …

In this article, we present the description of a novel mesophilic phototrophic Chloroflexi
bacterium,'Candidatus Viridilinea mediisalina'Kir15–3F. We have isolated an anaerobic …

Mineral licks are indispensable habitats to the life history of large mammal herbivores
(LMH). Geophagy at licks may provide the necessary minerals for LMH, while LMH may be …

As inhabitants of soda lakes, Thioalkalivibrio versutus are halo-and alkaliphilic bacteria that
have previously been shown to respire with the first demonstrated Na+-translocating …

The draft genome sequence of the green filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic (FAP)
bacterium “Candidatus Viridilinea halotolerans” strain Chok-6, isolated from a cold saline …

Soda lakes are relic ecosystems inhabited by unique microorganisms, which are doubly
extremophilic: both haloalkaliphilic and natronophilic. Two morphologically and …

This is the comparative investigation of the composition of phototrophic microbial mats
developing in sulfide-rich saline Chokrak springs with outflow at the shore of the hypersaline …

Central Asia is one of the world largest regions, which has been relatively poorly studied
from the microbiological point of view. The lakes of this region have a broad range of …
