Culturomics approach to identify halophiles in edible salts
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2022-02-18)Salts have been used in the food industry not only for flavoring of foods but also in food preservation. Refrigeration and vacuum sealing of food products have decreased the need for salt preservation. However, salt is ... -
Genomic and metagenomic characterization of halophilic microorganisms with insights into the bioremediation of produced water
(2020-05)Produced water is an extremely toxic environmental wastewater source derived from oil-production. Produced water is typically a highly saline waste water containing a litany of hydrocarbon and heavy metal pollution. It is ... -
Molecular characterization of aromatic hydrocarbon degradation in extreme halophiles
(2014-07)Many hypersaline environments such as natural saline lakes, salt marshes, saline industrial effluents, oil fields and coastal areas are often contaminated with high levels of petroleum hydrocarbons. Since non-halophiles ... -
Novel strategy for halophilicity in the photoautotrophic proteobacterium Halorhodospira halophila
(2011-07)Scope and Method of Study: Approximately 97% of all water on earth is present in saline oceans, saline lakes, inland seas, and saline groundwater. Additionally salt deposits occupy one quarter of the land on earth. Thus, ...
