The purpose of this research was to investigate the structure of soil bacteria communities
present in the Gibson (Australia) and the Sahara (Egypt) deserts, as well as to estimate …

The current study aimed to analyze bacterial communities' diversity and abundance in three
different deserted areas (Merzouga, Mhamid Elghizlane, and Erg lihoud) located in …

Some hypersaline ecosystems exist in the form of halite, the salt deposits formed due to the
evaporation of salt water. Over a period of time, the salt-saturated hypersaline lakes or seas …
