Topic: Saltern


In the News (Fri 19 Mar 10)

  
  A saltern dating back to between 5500 and 5800 B.C. is discovered in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
The saltern was discovered at the bottom of a 17th century well situated in the center of a natural geological reserve in Haute-Provence near Moriez, a small village in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department.
An analysis of the pollen content in core samples of the sediment should enable the teams to refine the initial dates and provide greater insight into the climatic conditions that prevailed when salt harvesting first began in Europe.
This unusual discovery came about as a result of a joint saltern research program in the Alps region organized and sponsored by several institutions: the regional Midi-Pyrénées CNRS, PACA’s regional department of archeology, the DRAC PACA, and the geological reserve of Haute-Provence.

 Saline Systems | Full text | Buoyancy studies in natural communities of square gas-vacuolate archaea in saltern ...
The square archaea were reported to represent at least 55% of the total numbers of prokaryotes in the salterns of Eilat, Israel [25], and 48–61% and 22–32% in the salterns near Alicante and Tarragona, Spain, respectively [22,23].
After periods varying from 1–4 hours, the distribution of cells sinking to the grid of the slide, floating to the coverslip, or suspended in between was examined in the phase microscope by focusing the 40× or 100× objective to different levels [45].

The presence of yeasts in coastal and estuarine waters is known for a long time, but their presence in adjacent solar salterns has not been reported.
Both the diversity and the concentration of isolates decreased during the operation of the saltern in summer (the safra season), the time when the salinity gradient became steeper and the hydraulic residence time was much shorter.
Results from the physiological studies agreed with the fieldwork and suggest an allochthonous character for the yeast population during the safra season in the saltern.

Solar salterns consist of a series of shallow ponds connected in a sequence of increasingly saline brines located along the peninsular coast of India was chosen for the isolation of haloarchaea.
The present study was initiated to achieve isolation, characterization and cultivation of halophilic archaea from solar salterns located in the southeast coast of India.
It is noteworthy that bright-red pigmentation is common in microorganisms inhabiting salt lakes and saltern ponds (Anton et al., 2002).

 Hordle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first mention of Hordle is in the Domesday Book (1086) and its church is recorded in the cartulary of Christchurch Priory early in the twelfth century.
The soils of the parish are based mainly on well drained gravels to the south and clayey loams to the north: the character of the parish is agricultural, although in times past a few salterns were operated on the coast.
The distribution of dwellings has apparently always been of a scattered nature, grouping into several hamlets such as Tiptoe to the north and Taddiford to the south.

Scientists, too, admire these saltern crystallizers—and even more so, the microbes that manage to survive in such briny environs.
Although extreme-loving microbes called archaea were known to eke out life in the ponds, scientists were surprised to discover ordinary bacteria also thriving in such a physically demanding environment, at salt concentrations up to 30 percent.
Meanwhile, TIGR’s collaborators are pursuing studies of Spain’s salterns, testing the ponds to find out what other microbes call the briny waters home.

 Wonsanman Saltern Pays off
Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- The newly built Wonsanman Saltern situated in Yomjon-ri, Chonnae County, Kangwon Province of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is meeting the demand of the province for salt from this year.
True to the behest of President Kim Il Sung and intention of leader Kim Jong Il on building a saltern in the eastern coastal area to solve the salt issue there, people of the province started the construction of the saltern in reed fields in March Juche 87 (1998).
Kim Jong Il, who called at the saltern on a sultry day of July this year, was very satisfied with the grand industrial construction carried out by the province for the people and clearly indicated the ways for increasing salt production.

 A salty tale: New bacterial genome sequenced from ancient salterns
Scientists, too, admire these saltern crystallizers--and even more so, the microbes that manage to survive in such briny environs.
Analyzing the bacterium's genome, researchers found that S. ruber's proteins are typically rich in acidic amino acids and relatively poor in hydrophobic (water-repellent) amino acids, making them soluble and highly stable at such salt concentrations.
"S. ruber may have independently evolved one type of rhodopsin and acquired the other through lateral gene transfer from the archaeal species also living in the salterns." This study is the first to document bacteria adopting the archaeal-type rhodopsin.

Feasting his eyes on a vast expanse of salt fields, the salt refining shop and other production buildings and cosy dwelling houses and cultural facilities standing in lines at the foot of a mountain, he noted with great satisfaction that such a gigantic project completed by the province by itself was a great success.
He extended thanks to all the builders and their helpers who have done a lot of work for the prosperity and development of the country without being known to others.
He praised the officials, workers and technicians of the saltern for keeping the production going at a high rate by fully displaying creative wisdom and strengthening cooperation.

The red colour of saltern ponds depends on the blooming of various salt tolerant and salt-requiring microrganisms.
The color of the dense communities of microrganism inhabiting saltern ponds is often very intense; the higher the salt concentration of the environment, the denser these communities can become.
Many different kinds of salt loving microrganisms can be observed in a drop of red water collected from saltern ponds.

So many of the local settlers were harvesting the salt through saltpans in the neighbourhood of Lynn, as scattered references in the Domesday book reveal, that a trade surplus must have been produced.
Many of these saltern mounds are still visible today.
The same process of reclamation left the site riddled with watercourses (locally called "fleets") ranging in size from streams to small rivers, and the course of these likewise exercised an influence on the topography of settlement.
