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, ...
