    16S rRNA Gene Diversity in Ancient Gray and Pink Salt from San Simón Salt Mines in Tarija, Bolivia
    (American Society for Microbiology, 2020) Wolf T. Pecher; Fabiana Lilian Martínez; Priya DasSarma; Daniel Guzmán; Shiladitya DasSarma
    DNA from 250 million-year-old pink and gray salts from mines in Tarija, Bolivia, subjected to 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and analysis provided evidence for similar but distinct prokaryotic communities. The results constitute a snapshot of archaeal and bacterial microorganisms in these remote and ancient salt deposits.

    16S rRNA Gene Diversity in the Salt Crust of Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, the World’s Largest Salt Flat
    (American Society for Microbiology, 2020) Wolf T. Pecher; Fabiana Lilian Martínez; Priya DasSarma; Daniel Guzmán; Shiladitya DasSarma
    Salar de Uyuni is a vast, high-altitude salt flat in Bolivia with extreme physico-geochemical properties approaching multiple limits of life. Evidence for diverse halophilic bacteria and archaea was found in its surface and near-surface salt crust using 16S amplicon analysis, providing a snapshot of prokaryotic life.
