halophilic and halotolerant bacteria from river waters and shallow groundwater along the rouge river of southeastern michigan.	the use of sodium chloride to melt highway and road snow is believed to have a significant effect on the groundwater ecosystem of the rivers where the salt from the roads drain. as the river composition changes, the bacterial population also changes to favour those bacteria that are more suited to the higher salt concentrations. in this experiment, we surveyed the cultivable salt-loving organisms (halophiles) on three sites that encompass the rouge river (lotz; site 1, lilly, site; 8, and ford f ...	2007	17432382
salt-adapted bacteria isolated from the rouge river and potential for degradation of contaminants and biotechnological applications.	the current work extends the phenotypic and molecular characterization of the bacterial culture collection from the rouge river to gain an understanding of the physiology of the strains and their potential for biotechnological applications. phenotypic and molecular analyses were performed on six unique strains. most of the strains tested for hydrolytic activities were positive for the production of enzymes, in contrast to previously described species that showed very little hydrolase activities. ...	2010	20662385
