Thermotolerant bacteria of biotechnological potential from hot springs in Eritrea
(2018-06)
Thermophiles are excellent sources of enzymes that can withstand and carry out reactions efficiently
under high temperatures. This study isolated and characterised thermotolerant bacteria that produce
enzymes of potential ...
Picocystis salinarum (Chlorophyta) in saline lakes and hot springs of East Africa.
(2012-01)
The occurrence of Picocystis salinarum in saline inland waters of East Africa was investigated using a polyphasic approach of small-subunit (SSU) rDNA phylogeny and light microscope observations. Recent studies have found ...
Cyanobacterial diversity in the hot spring, pelagic and benthic habitats of a tropical soda lake
(2013-08)
Hot springs and saline-alkaline lakes of East Africa are extreme habitats regarding temperature, or salinity and pH, respectively. This study examines whether divergent habitats of Lake Bogoria, Kenya, impacts cyanobacterial ...
Diversity of fungi in sediments and water sampled from the hot springs of Lake Magadi and Little Magadi in Kenya
(2016-02)
Lake Magadi and Little Magadi are saline, alkaline lakes lying in the southern part of Kenyan Rift Valley. Their solutes are supplied by a series of alkaline hot springs with temperatures as high as 86°C. Previous ...
Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Five Hot Springs in Eritrea
(IISTE, 2017-07)
Eritrea has a number of hot springs whose physicochemical characteristics are not documented. This study
examined the thermal and chemical features of five hot springs located in the eastern escarpment of Eritrea. Field
data ...
