Patricia Assuncao, Ruth Jaen-Molina, Juli Caujape-Castells, Adelina de la Jara, Laura Carmona, Karen Freijanes, Hector Mendoza Aquatic Biosystems 2012, 8:2 (30 January 2012) Abstract \| Provisional PDF

		Database HaloWeb: the haloarchaeal genomes database Satyajit L DasSarma, Melinda D Capes, Priya DasSarma, Shiladitya DasSarma Saline Systems 2010, 6:12 (30 December 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central
		Research Fairy, tadpole, and clam shrimps (Branchiopoda) in seasonally inundated clay pans in the western Mojave Desert and effect on primary producers WN Brostoff, JG Holmquist, J Schmidt-Gengenbach, PV Zimba Saline Systems 2010, 6:11 (8 December 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Few studies have previously examined food webs in the seasonally inundated ponds in the Mojave Desert of California. Brostoff et al. have studied the relationships between shrimp and algae in these novel environments.
		Research Biodiversity of Archaea and floral of two inland saltern ecosystems in the Alto Vinalopó Valley, Spain Basilio Zafrilla, Rosa M Martínez-Espinosa, María A Alonso, María J Bonete Saline Systems 2010, 6:10 (13 October 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary While coastal solar salterns are well-studied, detailed investigations of inland salterns which have a more complex ecology are relatively rare. Analysis by Zafrilla et al. of two inland salterns near Alicante, Spain showed that the plant communities are typical of salt marshes and the microbial population are similar to coastal salterns.
		Research Comparison of four phaC genes from Haloferax mediterranei and their function in different PHBV copolymer biosyntheses in Haloarcula hispanica Jing Han, Ming Li, Jing Hou, Linping Wu, Jian Zhou, Hua Xiang Saline Systems 2010, 6:9 (20 August 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary The genome sequence of Haloferax mediterranei revealed several new genes for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis which were shown to account for biosynthesis of PHBV, a copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate. Han et al. report that these newly identified genes have biotechnological potential for production of novel materials.
		Research Dynamics of Sundarban estuarine ecosystem: eutrophication induced threat to mangroves Suman Manna, Kaberi Chaudhuri, Somenath Bhattacharyya, Maitree Bhattacharyya Saline Systems 2010, 6:8 (11 August 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Manna et al. have conducted one of the few microbial ecology studies on the Sundarbans, a mangrove forest home to the Bengal tiger. Eutrophication as well as presence of toxic Dinoflagellates and Cyanophyceae point to polluted water quality of the estuary and suggests that the ecology of this world heritage site is highly threatened.
