A moderately halophilic bacterium was isolated from a brine sample of a hypersaline lake, Aran-Bidgol, in Iran. The strain, designated J8BT, was Gram-stain-positive, endospore-forming, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic, motile and produced cream colonies...

Introduction

Karde dam's lake is a carbonate-precipitating and diamictic lake, which supplies irrigation and potable water for more than 4 million inhabitant of Mashhad city (NE Iran). In the following survey, Vertical (five depths 1, 5, 10...

A new extremely halophilic archaeon designated as EB21T was isolated from a hypersaline lake in Iran. Characterization of this strain was achieved by following the minimal standards recommended by Oren et al., (1997) for describing novel taxa...

A new halophilic archaeaon was isolated from hypersaline lake in Iran. The physiological, biochemical and phylogenetic differences between this novel strain and other previously described genera of extremely halophilic archaea suggest...

Lake effect snowfalls are one of the main extreme events across the Great Lakes Basin. This type of extreme event creates sizable economic and social damage, including human fatalities and injuries, destroying vegetation, knocking out power...

Lake Superior, the northern-most of the Laurentian Great Lakes, is the largest (by surface area) freshwater lake on the planet. Due in part to its high water surface to land area ratio, over one-third of the Lake Superior basin water budget...

The influence of the Laurentian Great Lakes on climate is assessed by comparing two decade-long simulations, with the lakes either included or excluded, using the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics Regional Climate Model...
