Biogeographical patterns of bacterial and archaeal communities from distant hypersaline environments
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018-03)
Microorganisms are globally distributed but new evidence shows that the microbial structure of their communities can vary due to geographical location and environmental parameters. In this study, 50 samples including brines ...
Bacterial diversity in microbial mats and sediments from the Atacama Desert
(Springer, 2015-07)
The Atacama Desert has extreme environmental conditions that allow the development of unique microbial communities. The present paper reports the bacterial diversity of microbial mats and sediments and its mineralogical ...
Observations on trace element hypersaline geochemistry in surficial deposits of evaporation ponds of Exportadora de Sal, Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, México
(Marine Chemistry, 2002)
Trace element concentrations were determined for 28 samples of surficial deposits collected over a salinity gradient of 39‰ to approximately 250‰ in evaporation ponds of a large industrial NaCl production facility located ...
Microbial diversity in sediment ecosystems (evaporites domes, microbial mats, and crusts) of Hypersaline Laguna Tebenquiche, Salar de Atacama, Chile
(Frontiers, 2016-08)
We combined nucleic acid-based molecular methods, biogeochemical measurements, and physicochemical characteristics to investigate microbial sedimentary ecosystems of Laguna Tebenquiche, Atacama Desert, Chile. Molecular ...
Halopeptonella vilamensis gen. nov, sp. nov., a halophilic strictly aerobic bacterium of the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae
(Springer Tokyo, 2016-01)
A Gram-negative, halophilic, heterotrophic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (SV525T) was isolated from the sediment of a hypersaline lake located at 4600 m above sea level (Laguna Vilama, Argentina). Strain SV525T ...
Characterization of bacterial diversity associated with microbial mats, gypsum evaporites and carbonate microbialites in thalassic wetlands: Tebenquiche and La Brava, Salar de Atacama, Chile
(Springer Tokyo, 2014-03)
In this paper, we report the presence of sedimentary microbial ecosystems in wetlands of the Salar de Atacama. These laminated systems, which bind, trap and precipitate mineral include: microbial mats at Laguna Tebenquiche ...
