Global development and human activity have led to an increase in aridity, resulting in ecosystem degradation and desertification around the world. The objective of the present work was to investigate and compare the microbial community structure and geochemical characteristics of two geographically distinct saline pan sediments in the Kalahari Desert of southern Africa. Our data suggest that these microbial communities have been shaped by geochemical drivers, including water content, salinity, and the supply of organic matter.

Rovira Roure 191, 25198 Lleida, Spain. Conesa E-mail: [email protected], Phone: +34 973 70 20 99 ABS TRACT Wetlands in semiarid regions have received less attention than wetlands in humid-temperate areas, and the limited amount of information has resulted in little regulatory recognition. A comprehensive map of the saline wetlands that occur in karstic depressions in the semiarid region of Monegros, NE Spain, was developed from historical data, topography, and surveys of vascular flora. Playa-lakes and other saline depressions are expressions of solution dolines largely founded on groundwater dynamics and favored by the limestone and gypsum-rich substrate. Substrate composition, groundwater dynamics, and the network of infilled valleys are key factors in the distribution of the wetlands. In spite of the anthropogenic imprint, wetlands morphometrics are the expression of geological processes. Significant correlations were found between basin area and depth, and between elongation and substrate composition. The predominantly subelongated shape of the Monegros saline wetlands reflects their origin and a geometry strongly influenced by fractures.

  • Actinobacterial Diversity in Atacama Desert Habitats As a Road Map to Biodiscovery
    Actinobacterial Diversity in Atacama Desert Habitats as a Road Map to Biodiscovery A thesis submitted by Hamidah Idris for the award of Doctor of Philosophy July 2016 School of Biology, Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom Abstract The Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, the oldest and driest nonpolar desert on the planet, is known to harbour previously undiscovered actinobacterial taxa with the capacity to synthesize novel natural products. In the present study, culture-dependent and culture- independent methods were used to further our understanding of the extent of actinobacterial diversity in Atacama Desert habitats. The culture-dependent studies focused on the selective isolation, screening and dereplication of actinobacteria from high altitude soils from Cerro Chajnantor. Several strains, notably isolates designated H9 and H45, were found to produce new specialized metabolites. Isolate H45 synthesized six novel metabolites, lentzeosides A-F, some of which inhibited HIV-1 integrase activity. Polyphasic taxonomic studies on isolates H45 and H9 showed that they represented new species of the genera Lentzea and Streptomyces, respectively; it is proposed that these strains be designated as Lentzea chajnantorensis sp. nov. and Streptomyces aridus sp. nov.. Additional isolates from sampling sites on Cerro Chajnantor were considered to be nuclei of novel species of Actinomadura, Amycolatopsis, Cryptosporangium and Pseudonocardia. A majority of the isolates produced bioactive compounds that inhibited the growth of one or more strains from a panel of six wild type microorganisms while those screened against Bacillus subtilis reporter strains inhibited sporulation and cell envelope, cell wall, DNA and fatty acid synthesis.

Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 92: 53–107. – New records of the hyaline grass bug Liorhyssus hyalinus (Fabricius, 1794) (Heteroptera: Rhopalidae: Rhopalinae) in the Czech Republic are presented (both from Bohemia and Moravia), including the first record of a breeding population. Additional faunistic records from 42 countries are also presented, including first records of L. hyalinus from Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, and Bolivia. Information about the worldwide distribution, host plants, ecology, bionomics, harmfulness, and natural enemies of the species is reviewed. Liorhyssus hyalinus is a cosmopolitan, euryecous, polyphagous species, recorded in association with at least 172 plant taxa from 38 families, being able to develop on at least 22 taxa from 9 plant families. Its recent northward expansion in western and central Europe is discussed in connection with possible global warming.
