Article Abstract
This study presents the successful one-step purification and characterization of a novel laccase derived from Halomonas elongata, an extremophilic bacterium with promising applications in industrial biocatalysis. The enzyme was purified using a Cu@FeO-NH@GA hybrid affinity support, exhibiting a specific activity of 377.8 U mg and a molecular weight of ~75 kDa. Characterized by halophilic properties, the laccase exhibited maximum activity at pH 9 and in the presence of 1.5 mM NaCl, demonstrating remarkable stability in organic solvents and against various inhibitors. The enzyme was successfully applied to the green synthesis of salicylic acid from its alcohol precursor, achieving an 89.9 % yield under optimized conditions: 325.9 U mL laccase, 15.8 mM TEMPO, 36 % solvent-to-buffer ratio, and 38.7 °C. These findings demonstrate the potential of this newly identified laccase as a promising biocatalyst for industrial applications, particularly in eco-friendly organic synthesis.

Freezing point depression due to high salt concentration is crucial for liquid water to exist on cold worlds, expanding special regions where habitats are plausible. Determination of the growth tolerances of terrestrial microbes in analog systems impacts planetary protection protocols aimed at preventing interference with life detection missions or potential native ecosystems on celestial bodies. We measured the salinity tolerances of 18 salinotolerant bacteria (Bacillus, Halomonas, Marinococcus, Nesterenkonia, Planococcus, Salibacillus, and Terribacillus).

Soil salinity adversely affects crop growth and development, leading to reduced soil fertility and agricultural productivity. The indigenous salt-tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), as a sustainable microbial resource, do not only promote growth and alleviate salt stress, but also improve the soil microecology of crops. The strain H5 isolated from saline-alkali soil in Bachu of Xinjiang was studied through whole-genome analysis, functional annotation, and plant growth-promoting, salt-tolerant trait gene analysis.

The rapid expansion of the mariculture industry has significantly increased the production of nitrogen-rich wastewater, highlighting an urgent need for more efficient treatment technologies. However, the high salinity in mariculture wastewater severely inhibits microbial metabolism, underscoring the critical necessity for introducing high-efficient salt-tolerant strains to enhance the nitrogen removal process. To address this challenge, a salt-tolerant bacterial strain, Halomonas alkaliphila HYJ1, with remarkable aerobic nitrate removal capability was successfully isolated and identified in this study.

When plastic enters the marine environment it is rapidly colonised by microorganisms, and with plastic pollution in our oceans increasing, interest in studying the potential of these microorganisms to degrade plastics has also increased. The validity and reproducibility of some of these studies has however been questioned, and with an ever-increasing number of studies in this area, a critical evaluation of past work and steer for future studies is urgently needed. Here we systematically and critically review studies investigating the microbial degradation of plastics in the marine environment, critically appraising the methods and strength of evidence used to link marine microorganisms to plastic degradation, and providing recommendations for future research.

Bacterial L-glutaminase (L-GLS) has emerged as a potential therapeutic target in cancer treatment by disrupting glutamine-dependent metabolic pathways in tumor cells. This study focused on isolating and characterizing L-GLS-producing marine bacteria from Mediterranean seawater for preliminary therapeutic evaluation. Halomonas aquamarina HBIM1 was identified as the most efficient isolate through comprehensive phenotypic, genotypic, and enzymatic screening.
