The alkali of Syrian and Egyptian glass was soda ash, sodium carbonate, which can be extracted from the ashes of many plants, notably halophile seashore plants : ( see saltwort ).

"Haloferax mediterranei ", an extreme halophile, was first isolated as the R-4 strain, with characteristics similar to the genus " Halobacterium " ( 2 ).
33.
This is evident from the occurrence of conserved ferredoxin-binding residues within the N . pharaonis NirA protein and ferredoxin dependence of nitrate and nitrite reductases in the halophile " Haloferax mediterranei ".
34.
The lake gained widespread recognition in December 2002 when a research team, led by the University of Illinois at Chicago's Peter Doran, announced the discovery of 2, 800 year old halophile microbes ( primarily existed on Mars.
35.
I am nominating this for featured list removal because it's currently just a redirect, its content having been merged into List of National Football Conference North Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees by User : Halophile a couple of months back.
36.
Of particular note are the extreme halophiles or haloarchaea ( often known as halobacteria ), a group of archaea, which require at least a 2 M salt concentration and are usually found in saturated solutions ( about 36 % lyse from the change in osmotic conditions.
37.
As these salterns reach the minimum salinity limits for extreme halophiles, their waters become purple or reddish color due to the high densities of halophilic Archaea . " H . salinarum " has also been found in high-salt food such as salt pork, marine fish, and sausages.
38.
A specific enrichment media with penicillin, used to inhibit moderate halophile growth, was set up with a 20 % salt concentration and 1 % yeast extract . " H . mediterranei " has also been shown to grow successfully at 10 % up to 35 % salt concentration ( 1, 3 ).
39.
Halophiles extremophile characteristic communities are frequent in endorheic areas such as lagoons and creeks, which are Tamarix covered and include endemic species of bryophytes, chenopodiaceas, plumbaginacea, ruppiaceaes, " Carex ", lythraceaes, asteraceaes, etc . Their presence is related to the marine origin of the Ebro valley and the extensive marine deposits in the same area.
40.
The growth rate of this organism far exceeds any other halophile across a wide range of salinities ( 1, 2 ) . " H . mediterranei " also does not have any light-driven ion pumps, requiring it to rely on pigments such as carotenoids which have been seen to show up in different concentrations at different salinities ( 8 ).
