Adaptive modifications in membranes of halotolerant and halophilic microorganisms

TL;DR: A review of various strategies of haloadaptation of membrane proteins and lipids by halotolerant and halophilic microorganisms can be found in this paper, where moderate and extreme halophiles adapt their membrane lipid composition by increasing the proportion of anionic lipids, often phosphatidyl glycerol and/or glycolipids.

Selection of anionic exchange resins for removal of natural organic matter (NOM) fractions

TL;DR: The removal of NOM fractions, specifically humic substances, increased with an increase in water content of the investigated IEX resins and with a decrease in resin size, and the best-performing Iex resins consisted of the smallest resin and/or those with the highest water content.
