The majority of the Earth's microbial biomass exists in the deep biosphere, in the deep
ocean, and within the Earth's crust. Although other physical parameters in these …

Background: The high salt concentration is the major factor limiting microbial growth at
salterns, along with solar radiation, temperature, and pH. These environmental factors play …

Halophilic methanogens play an important role in the carbon cycle in hypersaline
environments, but are under-represented in culture collections. In this study, we describe a …
