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.
乌尤尼盐沼是玻利维亚一个广阔的高海拔盐滩,具有极端的物理地球化学性质,接近生命的多个极限。利用16S扩增子分析在其表面和近地表盐壳中发现了多种嗜盐细菌和古菌的证据,提供了原核生物生命的一个快照。
