Large regions of Earth's surface are underlain by salt deposits that evaporated from ancient oceans and populated extreme halophilic microbes. Some these halophiles may have been preserved over geological timescales within hypersaline fluid inclusions, but ingresses water and/or anthropogenic activities can lead to the formation alternative habitats, including NaCl stalactites or other speleoth...

Abstract. Aerosols play a crucial role in cloud formation. Biologically derived materials from bacteria, fungi, pollen, lichen, viruses, algae, and diatoms can serve as ice nucleating particles (INPs), some of which initiate glaciation clouds at relatively warm freezing temperatures. However, determining the magnitude interactions between biologically INPs remains significant challenge due to d...

The prokaryotic residents of the Tis solar saltern in the southeast of Iran on the shore of Oman Sea were investigated by the culture-dependent methods. Sequencing of the PCR-amplified fragments of 16S rRNA genes revealed that bacterial populations were related to Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Balneolaeota, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria. T...

purpose: the purpose of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy of regular exercise as a useful nonpharmacological strategy in attenuating the diabetes symptom such as hyperglycaemia, polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss. materials and methods: twenty male wistar rats (200±20 gr) were divided to four groups (n = 5 per group): sedentary normal (n), trained normal (ne), sedenta...

The salinization of soil is responsible for the reduction in growth and development plants. As global population increases day by day, there a decrease cultivation farmland due to soil, which threatens food security. Salt-affected soils occur all over world, especially arid semi-arid regions. total area salt-affected 1 billion ha, India, an nearly 6.74 million ha?1 salt-stressed, out 2.95 are s...
