Drop-size soda lakes: transient microbial habitats on a salt-secreting desert tree.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2008

Qvit-Raz Noga, Jurkevitch Edouard, Belkin Shimshon

Abstract excerpt

We describe a hitherto unrecognized bacterial community, inhabiting the leaf surfaces of the salt-excreting desert tree Tamarix. High temperatures, strong radiation, and very low humidity dictate a daytime existence in complete desiccation, but damp nights allow the microbial population to proliferate in a sugar-rich, alkaline, and hypersaline solution, before drying up again after sunrise. The exclusively...
