maharlu saline lake is located in the sw of iran. to assess the environmental pollution of thelake, the total concentrations of as, cr, co, cu, cd, pb, zn, ni, fe, and mn were determined in the surfacesediments and water of the lake. as and cr were not detected in the water samples, however, the meanconcentrations of other dissolved metals in maharlu lake water were 0.28 mg/l for cu, 0.28 μg/l ...

abstract         background and objective: microalgae are a group of algae that produce biochemical products consisting of a wide range of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins that are commercially valuable. interest in microalgal cultivation is currently blossoming globally. species of dunaliella are found in freshwater, euryhaline habitats of all continents, oceans including the dead sea and ev...

Maharlu Lake, located in the SW of Iran, has acted as a sink for various wastewater discharges in the last few decades. This study aimed at assessing potentially toxic elements (PTEs) distribution in sediment, surface and pore water samples of Maharlu Lake. To achieve that, the samples were collected from each compartment and the total concentration of PTEs (Al, Fe, Sc, Cr, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Sb, ...

introduction monitoring of salt lake dry areas is an important parameter for sustainable development and environmental protection. monitoring of dried areas of the salt lake requires extraction of thematic maps at different times. powerful tool for remote sensing of the earth different ecosystems, such as playa environments, is to produce valuable and useful data. the major causes of widespread...

Halophilic bacteria grow over a wide range of salt concentrations. In this study we aimed to isolate and screen out the halophilic bacteria and to determine their activity for production of the bioactive compounds. A total of 50 water, sediments and soil samples were collected from Maharlu salt lake in southern region of Fars-Iran and subjected for isolation of the bioactive compound producing ...

lake maharlu basin is located in a synclinal valley of the folded zagros. the frame and rugged structure of the basin is made of three units of mountainous geomorphologic, smooth levels and tectonic hole and evolved during several geological periods under the effect of interactive relations of tectonic, climatology and hydro geomorphologic processes. in this study, the researchers applied histo...
