Exploration of Microbial Diversity and Community Structure of Lonar Lake: The Only Hypersaline Meteorite Crater Lake within Basalt Rock
Lonar Lake is a hypersaline and hyperalkaline soda lake and the only meteorite impact crater in the world situated in basalt rocks. Although culture-dependent studies have been reported, a comprehensive understanding of microbial community composition and structure in Lonar Lake remains elusive. In the present study, microbial community structure associated with Lonar Lake sediment and water sa...
متن کاملCharacterization of eukaryotic microbial diversity in hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia
This study describes the community structure of the microbial eukaryotic community from hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia, using near full length 18S rRNA sequences. Water samples were taken in both summer and winter over a 4-year period. The extent of eukaryotic diversity detected was low, with only 35 unique phylotypes using a 97% sequence similarity threshold. The water samples were domina...
متن کاملLimnological Study on Lonar Lake: A Unique Brackish Crater Lake in India
Lonar lake is a inland saline crater lake of only one of its kind in Asia, which depicts unique limnology and biodiversity. Studies were undertaken to evaluate its unique ecosystem. Wetlands of this lake have archaeological significance. Due to its importance to the humans, studies were carried out with regard to its water quality in terms of physico-chemical characteristics, heavy metal concen...
متن کاملStructural effects of meteorite impact on basalt: Evidence from Lonar crater, India
[1] Lonar crater is a simple, bowl-shaped, near-circular impact crater in the 65 Myr old Deccan Volcanic Province in India. As Lonar crater is a rare terrestrial crater formed entirely in basalt, it provides an excellent opportunity to study the impact deformation in target basalt, which is common on the surfaces of other terrestrial planets and their satellites. The present study aims at docum...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Potentials of Phospholipid Compound Produced By Halophilic Bacillus subtilis isolated from Alkaline Meteorite Crater Lonar Lake, India
Hypersaline environments are widely distributed on the earth s continent where they exist either as natural water bodies such as permanent saline lakes, ephemeral saltpans and salt marshes,or as artificial solar salterns (Litchfield and Gillevet; 2002). The microbial diversity of saline lakes has been studied primarily by focusing on the isolation and characterization of individual organisms wi...
