Studies toward biotreating hypersaline wastewater containing different salts and halotolerant mechanism of robust strains are important but still rare. Here an isolated bacterium Halomonas salifodinae can perform simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) at 15% salinity, showing high nitrogen removal efficiencies of over 98% via response surface methodology optimization. Besides NaCl, this robust strain had high resistance to other salts (KCl, NaSO, and KSO) and can efficiently remove nitrogen in saline wastewater containing heavy metals such as Fe(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Cr(VI), Ni(II), and Cu(II). After repeated-batch culturing at different salinities, the treated strains with different halotolerant capabilities were used as single strain model to study halotolerant mechanism via metabolic analysis. The halotolerant bacterium can convert D-proline and glutamic acid to glutamine as well as lactulose to trehalose. The accumulated intracellular compatible solutes can resist high osmotic pressure and bound water molecule in hypersaline wastewater to accomplish high-efficiency SND processes.

Halophilic bacteria are promising candidates for biofuel production because of their efficient cellulose degradation. Their cellulases exhibit high activity, even in the presence of inhibitors and under extreme conditions, making them ideal for biorefinery applications. In this study, we isolated a strain of (Kadal6) from decomposed cotton cloth on a Rameshwaram seashore.

Nonmodel microbes with unique advantages are emerging as industrial platforms, driven by advances in genetic engineering and omics technologies. Notable examples include the versatile soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440, the halophilic Halomonas bluephagenesis TD01, and the ethanologenic Zymomonas mobilis ZM4. While all three primarily use the Entner-Doudoroff pathway for glucose metabolism, they differ in various metabolic pathways and product synthesis.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable and biocompatible polymers that can replace conventional plastics in different sectors. However, PHA commercialization is hampered due to their high production cost resulting from the use of high purity substrates, their low conversion into PHAs by using conventional microbial chassis and the high downstream processing cost. Taking these challenges into account, researchers are focusing on the use of waste by-products as alternative low-cost feedstocks for fast-growing and contamination-resistant halophilic microorganisms (Bacteria, Archaea…).

The microbial community of a soy sauce is one of the most important factors in determining the sensory characteristics of that soy sauce. In this study, the microbial communities and sensory characteristics of twenty samples of Korean soy sauce () were investigated using shotgun metagenome sequencing and descriptive sensory analysis, and their correlations were explored by partial least square (PLS) regression analysis. The metagenome analysis identified 1332 species of bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses across 278 genera, of which , , and accounted for more than 80% of the total community.

Ectoine is a high-value protective agent with extensive applications in the fields of fine chemicals and biopharmaceuticals, and it is naturally synthesized by Halomonas in extreme environment, however, the current production level cannot meet the growing market demand. In this study, we aimed to develop an efficient and environmentally friendly ectoine production process using Bacillus licheniformis as the host organism. Through introducing ectoine synthetase gene cluster ectABC from Halomonas elongate, as well as optimizing ectABC expression by promoter and 5'-UTR optimization, ectoine titer was increased to 0.
