The vertical and seasonal distribution and diversity of archaeal sequences was investigated in a hypersaline, stratified, monomictic lake, Solar Lake, Sinai, Egypt, during the limnological development of stratification and mixing. Archaeal sequences were studied via phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequences as well as denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis. The 165 clones studied we...

Sambhar Lake (Salt of Earth), the largest inland saline and alkaline lake of India is situated in the state of Rajasthan, and is referred in the epic Mahabharata. When full, it covers an area of 230 sq km. It lays some 60 km west of Jaipur, adjacent to the Salt Lake City. Flocks of flamingoes are attracted by the delicious spirulina algae that flourish when the water reaches a medium degree of ...

Urmia Lake, which is the second largest permanent hypersaline lake in world, shrinking recent decades. Since accurate spatial information about essential to managing current and emerging crises of lake, this study used Lake satellite images time-series investigate drought trends by analyzing via Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The proposed approach comprising following four steps. First, year...

Lake Bonney is a chemically stratified, permanently ice-covered Antarctic lake that is unusual because anomalous nutrient concentrations in the east lobe suggest that denitrification occurs in the deep suboxic waters of the west lobe but not the east lobe, resulting in high concentrations of nitrate and nitrite below the east lobe chemocline. Environmental factors that usually control denitrifi...
