Hypersaline environments with salt concentrations up to NaCl saturation are inhabited by a
great diversity of microorganisms belonging to the three domains of life. They all must cope …

Several icy moons of the outer solar system have been receiving considerable attention and
are currently seen as major targets for astrobiological research and the search for life …

Compared with wet digestion, dry digestion of organic wastes reduces reactor volume and
requires less energy for heating, but it is easily inhibited by high volatile fatty acid (VFA) or …

Methanogenesis is controlled by redox potential and permanency of anaerobic conditions;
and in hypersaline environments, the high concentration of terminal electron acceptors …

Soil aeration can enhance soil enzyme activity and plant growth. These effects may be
caused by variations in soil microbial diversity and plant root development. However, little is …

The stability of community functioning in anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) sludge
adaptation to various salinity changes are concerned but not fully explored. In this study, two …

A search for the organisms responsible for anaerobic betaine degradation in soda lakes
resulted in isolation of a novel bacterial strain, designated Z-7014 T. The cells were Gram …

About 60% of natural gas production in the United States comes from hydraulic fracturing of
unconventional reservoirs, such as shales or organic‐rich micrites. This process inoculates …

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 …
