Ecomorphological variability of Arthrospira fusiformis (Cyanoprokaryota) in African soda lakes
The filamentous spirally coiled cyanoprokaryote Arthrospira fusiformis is found in extremely high densities in tropical soda lakes acting as driving force of the food web. We studied pronounced temporal morphological changes of Arthrospira in Kenyan soda lakes, Nakuru and Bogoria, and identified underlying key factors. Cell (diameter and height) and filament (height of coil, coil diameter, and ...
متن کاملAdaptive strategies in the double-extremophilic prokaryotes inhabiting soda lakes.
Haloalkaliphiles are double extremophilic organisms thriving both at high salinity and alkaline pH. Although numerous haloalkaliphilic representatives have been identified among Archaea and Bacteria over the past 15 years, the adaptations underlying their prosperity at haloalkaline conditions are scarcely known. A multi-level adaptive strategy was proposed to occur in haloalkaliphilic organisms...
متن کاملThe International Decade of East African Lakes (IDEAL) drilling initiative for the african great lakes
The Great Lakes of East Africa are one of the most exciting targets for obtaining long core records on Earth. Since their early exploration by 19 century naturalists their unique geological and biological attributes have been objects of curiosity for scientists from a wide range of disciplines. Since early in the 20 century it has also been evident that an extremely long and detailed history of...
متن کاملDissimilatory arsenate and sulfate reduction in sediments of two hypersaline, arsenic-rich soda lakes: Mono and Searles Lakes, California.
A radioisotope method was devised to study bacterial respiratory reduction of arsenate in sediments. The following two arsenic-rich soda lakes in California were chosen for comparison on the basis of their different salinities: Mono Lake (approximately 90 g/liter) and Searles Lake (approximately 340 g/liter). Profiles of arsenate reduction and sulfate reduction were constructed for both lakes. ...
متن کاملMethanogenesis at extremely haloalkaline conditions in the soda lakes of Kulunda Steppe (Altai, Russia).
Microbial methanogenesis at extreme conditions of saline alkaline soda lakes has, so far, been poorly investigated. Despite the obvious domination of sulfidogenesis as the therminal anaerobic process in the hypersaline soda lakes of Kulunda Steppe (Altai, southwestern Siberia), high concentrations of methane were detected in the anaerobic sediments. Potential activity measurements with differen...
